EPCI-Steel
Structural
I am going to take the April 13 PE Exam.
Civil breadth and construction depth.
I am an engineer with 14 years experience, 4 in structural design and 10 in design, fabrication, transport and installation of offshore structures.
Now I find myself working as consultant (3rd party review and onsite verification) for critical lifting operations, transports and construction (Also a CWI).
I have aspirations of starting my own engineering / fab / construction company hence the need for a PE.
For those of you who have taken the PE Exam recently, especially those who used a prep course, I have some questions:
The NCEES recommended construction design standards for this exam include ASCE 37, ACI MNL-15, ACI 347R, and ACI SP-4.
ACI is pretty proud of their codes, and buying these codes just for the exam is a bitter pill to swallow. I know 2 others who took this same exam solely with their review course notes as reference material and passed with no problem. I like being prepared but I'm on the fence here.
So for those of you who took this exam did you find it necessary to have these codes for the afternoon portion? Or do you think I'll be OK without them? If it helps any I'm doing the school of PE review course.
