As I've said before, I am currently only a part time photographer. Between the hours of 0630 and 1600 (and whenever my blackberry buzzes) I'm a Chemical Engineer/Systems Engineer for the US ARMY. So in the spirit of being all that I can be, I decided to become a "Professional Engineer" or licensed engineer.
The "PE" is the Principles and Practices Exam given by the NCEES a non-profit licensing group for engineers and surveyors. Basically, twice a year they organize an 8 hour long test designed to torture engineers. Its the culmination of 4 years of documented engineering work and an additional 8 hour exam taken at the start of the 4 years of work called the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam.
I think the hardest part was the long wait for the results, but that's now over. After waiting 74 excruciating days, the results from the PE exam finally came in the mail and I PASSED!!!
Its now time for a nice cold refreshing beverage to celebrate my success.
Oh yeah and the fun doesn't stop here, Renee is planning to take the PE next year in the Spring of '09. So wish her luck, even though I know she's gonna do fine.
