đ As someone going for the Water Resources depth I cracked up at your coverage of that section. đđ Your points are totally valid though, don't spend time on something you're not likely to encounter. I appreciate the honesty in not pretending to review something you don't know. Your highlights of the other sections sound like a really good starting point for the breadth and I think will help me prioritize my time. Thanks! đ
appreciate it catnip - im glad you know how to engineer water because i sure dont!
Very helpful. Thx
thank you! this video is excellent!
You're very welcome!
in the water resources section there is fluid mechanics as well as hydraulics that you skipped. pretty sure those are important.
Resumed my preparation postpartum. Feels like I have to put a lot of time revising the chapters I did months back!
Thank you for such an awesome video!! I passed FE Environmental Engineering last year but now preparing for PE civil with water resources.
The Water Resources section is very similar to FE Environmental handbook and actually the things you didnât study at all were the most critical in FE exam!
What about project management??? Did you get tricky questions??
And could you please elaborate more on time management??
Thank you :))
I wouldn't worry to much about the project management questions - there are very few of them and from what I remember pretty straight forward.
One thing I wish the Reference Handbook would do for Structural Engineers (I have been studying for my exam that is tomorrow :D)... I wish they would take some of the AISC and ACI Tables/Equations and include them in the Handbook. Going back and looking through ASCI and ACI without knowing where everything is exactly (besides the tabs) was hard... Especially for the obscure tables and equations that you wouldn't generally have tabbed. That has honestly been the hardest part of studying and doing practice problems... finding all the obscure equations and tables that you have to use in some problems.
Did you pass?
same i was literally studying a problem in the snow load section. It had like table 1.5-2 or something and some other table really far fro the snow load section and it's like damn i hope i can find this quick during the exam lol
Thank for walking us through the process and being honest on Water resources. Now can you tell how you will be supporting SoPe? Many people failed the PE test and said bad comments about SoPe. What is your role just marketing SoPe or actually being part of a change, so as we can get a better course being you part of SoPe. Thanks again
let me look into this a bit further and give my opinion.
Why they have not included the column load (P) -moment (M) strength interaction curves in RC design? They had several tables on FE manual tho!
I find that odd as well - maybe they are shifting away from these types of problems? ORRRR they are going to incorporate this subject matter using the interactive problem formats. check out the CBT pe exam problem video that talks about what to expect. its no longer just multiple choice
Will you go over the Depth Manuals that they provide in the exam? Thank you.
This would be tricky since it's hard to comment on the quality/usefulness of references outside of your practice area. Unless you are asking him to go over the Structural manuals. He might not be able to comment very thoroughly on, say, water resources references. However from what I've seen in the exam specs all of the provided depth manuals are industry standards for practice (AISC, ACI, AASHTO, etc), so they should all be good. :)
great response pmcatnip!
In the video, you mention we'll run across some Transportation Signal Design practice problems. I haven't seen any yet - can you recommend a source? Thank you!
i doubt transpo will have signals in the morning. for pm section, likely.
What sections are you planning on skipping?
None lol, scheduled for April 2nd!
The exam syllabus really is your guide to know what to skip in the hand book.
Lol I work in WR/E and have use the same approach with anything structures as you did with WR haha
@@Soli_KicksTV do you mean "exam specs" ?
Keep getting practice problems about max bearing pressure for footing that is eccentrically loaded. Pages in 97 and 98 in NCEES PE Civil Reference Manual version 1.1 are no help. Any idea where equations are in allowable references?
I also have had this issue super annoying. Figure it outback
Can you please provide some more Clint Eastwood references??; Outlaw Josey Wales and Fist Full of Dollars would be much appreciated; circa 1967-1975 please.
Is the FE manual and PE the same? I took the fe exam few days ago and now I am thinking to take PE exam.
they are not. the FE and PE are two very different exams. check out the NCEES website where they go into depth about the PE exam
are the codes searchable???
Yes but some codes like the AISC are not 1 document but split up into chapters/appendices so make sure you kinda know where stuff is. I believe ASCE7 and ACI and both OSHA references were all 1 document which helped a ton
your comment on water-enviro section of ncees hb 1.1 wasnt correct. there is lots of stuff in there which you will need for the am regardless of discipline. and...for a water-enviro pm, you will need most of the stuff in ncees hb 1.1 !
ps: you recently did a nice am example using the concept of buoyancy and concrete block/bearing stress. guess where the buoyancy equation lives? water chapter.
haha very true!
the hair. full effect
it was a wild ride I'll say that!
