Bring whatever you have tabbed/bookmarked properly. Time management is the hardest part

The structural you might need that much, but if you can get your hands on the schoolof PE’s notes, those would be all you need.

Update us on how it goes and what you needed. I am civ/structural taking the PE in the Fall.

I'm bringing
Testmasters binder
HCM Vol. 1-3
Roadside design guide
Design of pedestrian facilities
Green book
MUTCD
Highway safety manual
Lindeburg CERM
The Lindeburg book and highway safety manual are probably the two most useless ones I'm bringing. I have them all tabbed just in case.

Only 9 books? 
Us who took the petroleum exam brought at least 20 books

Yeah, if you go to the NCEES page theres a list of references that could be called on. PE is open book.
Gotcha. Has anyone here taken the EE PE?

I know some guys taking the environmental and water resources tests. Have mercy on them.
I'm not far behind them

the only books I ended up using...
Lindberg "Blue Book"
Steel Manual
ACI 318
NDS
Geotech textbook from school. (there was one soil testing question)
I brought all kinds of other crap but didn't touch it.

Fix your thread title. You're not an engineer until you pass that test.

shite, I don't even have a degree in my field and the engineering projects I'm responsible for (by myself) are mind fricks compared to these tests...and I say that based on this thread. References, pfft.

You aren't an engineer yet, son.

This is about the dumbest thing I suspected the OT would say about this thread.

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.

Should I change the title to "Are any other Engineer Interns, duly certified by the State of Louisiana, bringing a small library..."?

Part II, theres much more leeway given to practicing unlicensed engineers than unlicensed attorneys. Google "Industrial Exemption" for further information.
