Thank you for sharing your story, Nicole! I am also AuDHD and I'm worried about taking the FE. I have very strong opinions on the NCEES accommodation process. Especially the scheduling process Nicole mentioned. It's AWFUL. Especially considering most Autistic and ADHD people struggle with calling.
Thanks for sharing your experience! I think it's an area that needs some light shed on it.

Welcome back buddy.
Yeah! Trying to get back in the saddle here. I really missed creating those. 😅
I’m starting my First PT deck job, what should I know besides terminology? Already got that down a bit.
I find it hilarious that it took 13 years to reach this conclusion, which has been well-known and documented for much longer than the duration of this research. I passed FE on the first try and took several practice exams. Taking an extended test is like training for a big athletic competition. It would be best if you built up your stamina. I'm afraid I have to disagree with breaking the practice test up, at least over the long term. Breaking it up initially is okay, but I'd recommend building up to simulate the constraints of the actual test. Take the practice exam around the same time you'll be taking it and build up to simulating the actual test duration.
With corrected n = 0.013 value I got d = 11.064 in

2k - 5k? Thats a joke right?
@@mohlkc4606 Nope. The real value comes over the longterm of having it. Your salary over the life of your career will be much more than if you didn't have it. There are a ton of positives but the immediate reward just isn't great. Play the long game.
The relationship you used to find the angle is in the new version of the PE manual from NCEES

Spiral Curve Greenbook Index: Minimum Length of Spiral - 3-76 Follow equation 'L' should be the larger of' the two equations
Undersaturated: below capacity Oversaturated: above capacity Uninterrupted flow describes the type of facility, not the quality of the traffic flow at any given time. The terms oversaturated and undersaturated flow reflect the quality of traffic flow. (HCM Volume 1, page 2-13) Interrupted flow: traffic signals, roundabouts, stop signs, exclusive pedestrian and bicycle facilities
Traffic accident/safety problem Highway Safety Manual Ctrl+F accident rate -> crash rate method mentioned Crash rate method -> page 4-26 Calculate MEV based on TEV Calculate Crash Rate Answer is in units of crashes per MEV
Pedestrian problem -> Highway Capacity Manual -> chapter 3 -> ctrl+f 'pedestrian service time' -> index points to pg 19-82 -> use equation for less than or equal to 10 ft width -> the S variable isn't defined -> just know ahead of time that 'S' is speed -> ctrl+f pedestrian speed -> the manual says 4.0 ft/s is desirable on pg 16-20, and 3.4 MILES PER HOUR on page 24-9 -> memorize 4 ft per second
ctrl+f elderly -> page 18-48 shows walking speed based on % of elderly -> at >10% elderly, subtract by 0.3 ft/s, which gives 4.1 ft/s? Gives 24.3 seconds -> round up to A) 25 seconds
Pedestrian question -> highway capacity manual
I also found this on page 16-6, by ctrl+f'ing 'score', 5th result: This subsection describes the LOS criteria for the motorized vehicle, pedestrian, bicycle, and transit modes. The criteria for the motorized vehicle mode are different from the criteria used for the other modes. Specifically, the criteria for the motorized vehicle mode are based on performance measures that are field-measurable and perceivable by travelers. With one exception, the criteria for the pedestrian and bicyde modes are based on scores reported by travelers indicating their perception of service quality. The exception is the pedestrian space measure (used with the pedestrian mode), which is field measurable and perceivable by pedestrians. The criteria for the transit mode are based on measured changes in transit patronage due to changes in service quality.
Always important to look at the units

$2k - $5k for a PE raise is a joke given how much the company gets to bill you out for. Tired of hearing the more responbility part. If the company gets to have a stronger position in bidding for projects, gets to charge more for you, and you truly are valued there, you should see a raise no matter what. If expecting a raise is delusional, why do companies pay so much more when you have your PE to leave and join them. 10% or $7500 minimal and that depends on location, your abilities, etc. $2k - $5k raise is a slap in the face in any state in 2024, even 6 years ago.
@@austinmeredith6647 good points especially in our current economy. Get what you can for sure and that may mean bouncing to new companies.
@@CivilEngAcademy It is the sad reality. Clients are unrealistic and the structural world are too weak to demand more while arch firms get to haul in 2-3 times as much money for less liability, qualifications and responsibility. Engineers today, young, are forced to hustle, learn 5+ engineering software's, Revit, CAD, etc, and are still underpaid. The bubble will eventually pop because right now firms are struggling to attract and retain good engineers. Companies will have to start to adapt and sacrifice old school development plans for new ones. One being, hold off on hiring and give raises across the board to establish a new competitive approach. Not to mention, benefits have killed salaries which truly are a joke. Most benefits I declined because I do not need. Also internships and co-ops are a joke to which rob you of truly learning your material and they then complain you barely know anything coming out of college while expecting you to have 2+ years of experience in internships. Can not have your cake and eat it too. Pure delusion.
Agreed. At the end of the day, it's a job. We go to our jobs for money. I'm a 2020 M.E. grad, and the mindset of allowing companies to lowball talent is quickly dying with my generation.
@@DennisLaceyVlogs Heck yeah. It is sad here in the Civil world. Over 60% of Civil's do not negotiate and recruiters sell information which both drive down Civil, especially structural salaries. Engineers need to learn the market, and demand what they need in reason. Cost of living is insane now. I laughed at several companies down in Florida who low balled me, and they tried to use the beach as a selling point. I was like, is the beach going to pay for me bills, increase my 401k, pay my car note, etc. A lot of companies out there are delusional. Sadly, you have a lot of companies being led by older generations who have no context of the cost of living just to make in on your own, yet alone, damn near impossible to raise a family and save for retirement. These company leaders had a financial gold mine to raise a family on, buy toys, take trips, etc. Companies are still paying as if it is still 2010 and even further.
Can’t wait
You're doing a phenomenal job. Keep shining.. Muhammad Abrar

1. What about the yellow plus all red time? Why is that not subtracted from the effective green time? 2. The equation you are using to calculate capacity should include N (number of lanes) in it. Are we to assume N=1? If so, where does it mention that in the HCM? Thank you!

The abrupt changing of the zoom during your intro made that part of the video hard to watch.
For the solution to be correct, the flow should be 75 cfs.
Et will be in Exhibit 12-25 (not 12-5)
Question: in the calculation of the heavy vehicle adjustment, we are looking for the Et and Pt values. The definition of Pt is about the proportion of SUTs and TTs and in this case is 10% but then when we are checking the exhibit 12-27, the column say percentage of trucks (%), is it should be 5% and not 10%? Because the 10% include TTs plus SUTs. Thanks for the videos.
Very helpful, thank you!
In the HCM Manual, the ET values are combined for trucks and bus composition, not buses and RVs.
Answer Using PE Handbook 5.3.1 (pg 286) Curve elevations = Ypvc + g1x + ax^2 -> NO EQUATION GIVEN, THIS IS JUST MATH: Ypvi = Ypvc + g1 (L/2) -> Ypvc = Ypvi - g1 (L/2) = 119.64 -> g1 = given -> a = (g2 - g1)/ (2L) = -0.000044 -> X IS THE TRICKY PART x = STAx - STApvi + (L/2) = 524.2 CORRECT ANSWER = 117.91'
Where in the HCM are the turning movement numbers defined?
