I have one more finals left, it's in Highway Engineering. It's tonight at 5:30 PM. I only had four classes so far. I already have grades for two of them. For Steel Structures 1, which is a Steel Design class, I got a B, and for my joke of a class Underground Coal Mining I got an A+. That coal class's grade consists of three parts; take home midterm, take home final, and attendance.


On Saturday, I have the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, which isn't required for engineers to take, but if you want to have your PE, Professional Engineer, in the future, you need to start by taking the FE exam. The PE is a status next to your name like MD. It gives you the ability to stamp the drawings and everything on a project. You basically get more responsibility and a higher salary.

Anyway..the FE exam is 8 hours long. It's split up into two 4 hour sections. The first section is about general engineering stuff that most engineers from all disciplines should know, like all forms of Mathematics (Calc 1-3, Matrices and Linear Algebra, Differential Equations), Chemistry, Computers, Ethics, Engineering Economics, Probability and Statistics, Statics, Dynamics, Mechanics of Materials, Materials Science, Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics.

The second part is on your specific field of engineering, which is Civil Engineering for me. So I'll be focusing on topics like Soil Mechanics, Structural Analysis, Structural Design(Concrete and Steel), Hydraulics, Environmental Engineering, Surveying, Transportation, Construction Management and Materials.

So it should be fun, especially considering I'm sick and I probably won't get any sleep the night before.

In a little over 2 days and a few hours I'll be on summer break until August though!
