re: Any other OT engineers bringing a small library with them to PE exam Friday?

Wrong. Finishing law school doesn't make you a lawyer; it gives you a degree. Same with engineering. You have an engineering degree, but you aren't an engineer by law.
Would it settle your jimmies if everyone just called themselves E.I.T's instead?

Part II, theres much more leeway given to practicing unlicensed engineers than unlicensed attorneys. Google "Industrial Exemption" for further information.
There is literally one person in R & D here that I am aware has a PE in EE.
It's like almost a do it at your own time kinda thing here.

The PEs stamp the signature page on front of the deliverable, but my analyses stand alone in that package with just my name on them, usually a reviewer as well (hardly ever a PE). I don't even have a mechanical engineering degree and I'm a mechancal engineer.

Took the ChemE PE 7 years ago. And yep, I took a lot of books.
A booksack and an armful. If they still do the test downtown a cart/dolly could make for a very long walk as you will likely park in a parking garage.

No. The engineer that stamps it is an engineer. That's why they stamp it and you don't.

That's funny. I was hired after I corrected his work for a previous customer of ours. I knew the Code and the origins of the equations better than anyone who worked for him. If anything I'm the scientist that creates the analyses and dumbs them down for the engineers. Way down if possible.

Well Engineers are considered Applied Mathematicians.
I dont give any Math Majors shite. Those baws look into outer space (figuratively and literally) and pull shite out of their arse.

Tell that to all the engineers working in oil for example. There are many other industries where obtaining an engineering license is not required to be an engineer.
Civil is really the only big one where it is necessary since you are usually working on designs that the public will ultimately use.

He's being an arse about this, but I'll admit it gets my jimmies rustled when I look on indeed and a hotel is hiring a "hospitality engineer"

Applied in the sense that y'all can't derive shite on your own. Every single hard subject in engineering, outside of controls and DSP, has an analogous science with PhDs that derive and create everything y'all use as fact.
I seent it.

Real engineers (aka software engineers) don't need no PE. You're welcome for all the programs we build that essentially do your pseudo engineering jobs for you

If its worth anything I still integrate and use derivatives to calculate the moment and shear functions, piecewise. I find it quicker than looking it up in a table. The person often reviewing my work hates me

Gotdamn, Mathcad Prime is awesome. You frickers are geniuses.
Pisses me off that engineering Codes don't give a shite about units.

You need Mathcad. You could show them shite that would blow their minds. Parametric studies go down the rabbit hole.

I would hate you.

DSP,
Is all based off harmonics...
I mean you can model nth harmonics. Well at least memorize quite a few of them if that's your thing.
I took DSP as an elective. Fun class. I am assuming you mean DSP = Digital Signal Processing

So the (self proclaimed) "hardest degree field on the planet" allows unlimited open books for exams?
Sounds legit....

Engineers don't memorize shite (I am terrible at memorizing). We don't see the same problem over and over. We need to know how to apply concepts to a vast array of problems to find solutions.
The reference material covers anything from specific codes or regulations to equations that are used for quite specific situations.
There's simply no good reason to remember everything. It's all about knowing where to find the information you need to be able to solve the given problem.

It might have been heavy b/c you brought three of the same edition of the highway safety manual?
