or maybe PE, since you people are all old and shit.

Fuck statics.

haha, you lose

4/17/2010 6:15:36 PM

if you had problems with statics i wouldnt have high hopes of passing.

4/17/2010 6:16:43 PM

poast. i got home about an hour ago.

haha that test is perfect for an ME. seems like we really have an advantage on the other majors (except maybe CEs).

[Edited on April 17, 2010 at 6:18 PM. Reason : ^i can understand ChEs having issues with statics on the FE]

We're old ITT.

4/17/2010 6:18:31 PM

^^yea that makes sense, heck, it took me 2 times to get through statics but the second time around i knew it like the back of my hand

4/17/2010 6:23:39 PM

yeah, i don't even realize i'm doing statics anymore. by senior year it's second nature for a ME.

4/17/2010 6:27:25 PM

my roommate was at this

4/17/2010 6:27:39 PM

Yeah, us ChE's never see static type of crap outside of like, Physics 208 or something. Which was 5 years ago for me . I could solve the problems but it took way too long and I almost ran out of time for the first session.

In the afternoon I took the ChE of course and finished early

[/so tuff]

4/17/2010 6:29:52 PM

I took the CE afternoon section

just put b for most of the thermo and electrical problems in the morning but the CE part flew by, finished in just over 2 hours

4/17/2010 6:32:38 PM

Good luck in Dynamics.

4/17/2010 6:33:17 PM

i did the "other disciplines" in the afternoon. went through and did the stuff i knew and had 15-20 i didn't know. went back and found most of the answers in the handbook.

[Edited on April 17, 2010 at 6:34 PM. Reason : didn't do ME afternoon b/c of the controls and vibrations (fucking hate diff eq)]

4/17/2010 6:33:37 PM

good luck y'all

4/17/2010 6:35:05 PM

^^ when i took it a year ago the ME afternoon had no controls and maybe one or two vibrations.. was a piece of cake test really, finished 1-2 hours early.

4/17/2010 6:38:08 PM

damn, maybe i should've flipped through the ME test before i decided

i feel like i passed, so whatever

it was actually kinda cool to have the challenge of having to figure out formulas and shit for types of problems i'd never seen before, but i'm a nerd

I flipped through the rest of the book and wrote "THEN WHO WAS PHONE???" on a bunch of pages.

4/17/2010 6:40:05 PM

LOL

I wrote "I'm 12 and what is this" on one of my GRE sheets a few months ago

4/17/2010 6:43:00 PM

^^^ you probably did, 80-90% of ME's from state pass the FE

[Edited on April 17, 2010 at 6:52 PM. Reason : .]

4/17/2010 6:51:47 PM

hell, i'm an EE/CPE that never took any power courses and still passed it

there were all of like 3 problems that actually concerned courses i took

so if you're an ME or CE and don't pass, wtf is wrong with you?

4/17/2010 7:09:23 PM

I really regret not signing up for it this semester.

4/17/2010 7:10:50 PM

i regret taking it, i'm never going to use it

got a spiffy certificate though

[Edited on April 17, 2010 at 7:13 PM. Reason : def take it while still in school - you'd be astounded how fast it leaks out of you when you're out]

[Edited on April 17, 2010 at 7:13 PM. Reason : says the guy that took it 2 years afterwards]

4/17/2010 7:12:41 PM

^^ i also regret not taking it now. by the time october rolls around I will have forgotten most or all of the material...

4/17/2010 7:14:31 PM

im part of the folk that is glad they took it since they passed it, but before taking it regretted signing up to take it
