Engineer Questions

[Starkist]

I am 3/4'ths done with my BSME, and I was hoping to pick the brain of an engineer that's working in a power plant (nuclear or fossil, scope should be similar).  I feel like I'm being groomed for the auto industry ( ) and I'm curious about my next steps. Basically considering PE/EIT vs graduate level vs "Experience" etc etc and how it applies to the power production world. I have a scripted set of questions for someone willing to take a couple minutes and answer them at their convenience.

Thanks in advance!

No matter what you chose, take the Engineering Fundamentals (old EIT) exam as soon as you can.  It's a lifetime exam, and the further you are from college the more difficult it becomes.

I agree that you should take the FE as soon as possible. I think they have it set up now that it's all computerized and you can basically take it any time you want instead of only during Spring or Fall. Feel free to send me your questionaire and I'll get to it when I can.

Thank you for your advice! I am currently picking TR's brain, and I can't see the harm in seeing what you have to say as well. As always I appreciate your guys' time for this.
