Passed building lateral, passed building gravity in April so I'm done! I took the AEI class for lateral and I would highly recommend it, especially for any building engineers who are not familiar with the steel Seismic Design Manual or in-depth seismic design and detailing in general.
Has anyone received a meaningful response from NCEES or their state boards about when results should be expected? I just keep getting generic "within the next 2 weeks". But the grading seminar ended on 12/1, and for the April exams they released results starting 11 days after the grading seminar...
I guess hyperbole doesn't come through in writing. No, of course I didn't pay $150,000 for an SE prep class. But it was still expensive, like $1200. It was very comprehensive and beneficial particularly if you're an east coast engineer like myself always using R=3 for seismic and never once...
Super Nintendo Chalmers gets it. Anyway, yes I took lateral building in October for the first time. Feel decent about it. I better for the $150,000 I spent on the AEI class (worth it) plus neglecting my family for 3.5 months (not necessarily worth it).
