Hopefully for good.

I'll find out in 12 weeks.

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam is the test you have to take and pass to become an Engineer-in-Training. Once you have gained enough years of experience, there is an application and testing process to become a licensed Professional Engineer (PE).

I feel pretty good about how I did on the test. Whenever you're doing calculation problems and you get an answer that matches a multiple choice answer, you know you either a) did something right or b) did something predictably wrong. I did the latter at least once but caught it. Hopefully I did the former much more often. When you don't get any of the answers, then you just pick something that looks nice, or just fill in a bubble.

I thought I would be really tired and brain-dead after the test (two 4-hour sessions), but I'm not. That's nice.

Have a good Lord's day.

about the FE Exam (exam you must pass to become an Engineer-In-Training, the path to becoming a Professional Engineer).

The videos A&M has online are a big help.

    I remember when Nathan took that test. It was even stressful for me!

    Good Luck! I am going to have to take it, I think in a year. Is there just one FE or is there one for each discipline of engineering?

English online?

Has anybody taken Freshman Comp (Composition and Rhetoric) and/or Tech. Writing online? I need to take them this summer. I've looked into Blinn, although I'm not sure if they offer them both as 5 week courses, or Tech, which allows you to go at your own pace, with a minimum of 1 week per credit hour.

I'm also taking Ethics in Engineering this summer (writing intensive), then my senior design project class will have some writing.

Writing. My favorite. :-)

    That would mean I would have them done before the morning they are due. Afraid that won't happen. :-)
