PE License Renewal: How Many PDH Hours Do You Need?

July 9, 2024 by Anthony Fasano, P.E. Leave a Comment

In this article (and video above), I talk about the essential topic of the PE license renewal process. Join us as we unravel the mystery behind PDH (Professional Development Hours) requirements and explain exactly how many PDH hours you need to renew your PE license.

The number of Professional Development Hours (PDH) required to maintain your PE license varies significantly depending on your state or licensing board. Most state licensing boards require you to get about 30 Professional Development Hours, also called PDH, every two years to maintain your Professional Engineer (PE) license. You will need to check with your individual state board’s website to be sure of this and other license renewal requirements.

Here’s How to Find How Many PDH Your State Requires You To Get to Renew Your PE License:

1. Search “[your state name] engineering board” on Google and your state board’s website should be the first result. Alternatively, you can go to this link, click on your state, and scroll to the bottom. Here’s an example of what the Google search looks like:

Finding your state board’s website through a Google search

And here’s how it looks on the NCEES website:

2. You will need to do some searching on your board’s website to find the PE license renewal information. Look for the word “renewal” which may be near the word “licensing.” I recommend using CTRL+F or CMD+F and searching for the word “renewal” to make it easier. Here’s what it looks like on the website for Utah’s board:

3. After clicking on the link you should find at least one of three things, which will usually contain the information on how many PDH hours you need:

Renewal information, which not all state board websites have (but most do).
FAQs about renewal and licensing in general. Usually you can get the information you need from this if you can’t find it elsewhere.
The actual page you go to when it’s time to renew your license.

Here are some examples of PDH requirements in different states:

Florida: 18 PDH every two years
Texas: 15 PDH annually
New York: 36 PDH every three years

Here are a few important things to remember:

Some states have specific requirements for the type of PDH that can be used for PE license renewal. For example, some states may require a certain number of hours of ethics training.
You may be able to carry over unused PDH from one renewal period to the next. However, the number of hours that can be carried over varies by state.
It is your responsibility to stay up-to-date on the continuing education requirements for your PE license. Failing to meet the requirements could result in your license being suspended or revoked.

Many states will send an email or letter reminding you to renew about 90 days before your license expires. Where I live this comes in the mail and it contains a code that I need to use as part of the PE license renewal process.

A lot of the time, when you’re going to renew, you’ll be reminded of how many PDH you need to have to renew. Some states will require you to record and even report your PDH, so make sure you’re keeping track Save all the applicable paperwork or files to verify your PDH credits.

When you first renew, some states will waive the PDH requirement because you have so recently passed the PE Exam and finished school.

And in many instances, you’ll be able to carry over extra PDH from one renewal period into another. My state, for instance, lets me carry over 15 PDH, which is nice because I had a lot of extra from when I was finishing up my master’s degree!

Just be sure to pay careful attention to the information on your state board’s website. When in doubt, contact them and ask! I’ve done this multiple times and they’re always happy to help.

Once you’ve had your license for a couple of years, you’ll be used to this process, but that doesn’t mean you won’t forget how many PDH you may need, especially if you’re licensed in multiple states like I am!

If you get digital copies of certificates of completion, save those in a folder just for PDF documents in Google Drive or other cloud storage.

And if you’re worried you’ll forget to renew, don’t sweat it. Most states will send that reminder as I mentioned before. Even then it can be easy to forget, though, so set up a recurring reminder for a month before your license expires! Most expirations are at the same time every couple of years anyway.

Top 10 Reasons for Failing the PE Exam (and Proven Strategies for Bouncing Back)

April 16, 2024 by Anthony Fasano, P.E. Leave a Comment

In this article (and video above), I outline 10 common reasons why people are failing the PE Exam because by understanding these reasons, they can turn a short-term setback into a stepping stone for long-term success.

Let’s explore some of the common pitfalls that can lead to failing the PE exam. This isn’t about pointing fingers or feeling down – it’s about identifying these obstacles so you can overcome them in your next attempt.

1 – Being Unprepared:

The PE exam tests a wide range of engineering concepts and requires a comprehensive understanding of each topic. Many candidates make the mistake of focusing only on areas where they feel confident, neglecting weaker subjects. A thorough preparation means covering all topics listed in the NCEES® specification, understanding the underlying principles, and practicing a variety of problems. Diversifying your study material and methods can also help strengthen weak areas.

2 – Poor Time Management:

The PE exam’s time constraint means that efficient time management is crucial. Candidates often spend too long on complex questions, leaving insufficient time for others. A strategic approach would be to first address questions you are confident in, then return to the tougher ones. Practicing under timed conditions can help develop a sense of how long to spend on each question and improve your ability to work under time pressure.

3 – Lack of Rest:

Adequate rest is critical for optimal cognitive functioning. Intense study sessions without sufficient rest can lead to burnout, affecting concentration and memory during the exam. It’s important to maintain a balanced study schedule, ensuring regular breaks and a good night’s sleep, especially in the days leading up to the exam. A well-rested mind is more efficient and focused, which is essential for a lengthy and demanding exam like the PE.

4 – Underestimating the Exam:

Some candidates may not fully appreciate the complexity of the PE exam, leading to inadequate preparation. It’s essential to understand that this exam requires more than just a basic understanding of engineering principles; it tests your ability to apply these principles in complex scenarios. Respect the difficulty level of the exam and prepare accordingly, starting well in advance.

5 – Wrong Study Materials:

Using outdated or irrelevant study materials can be a major setback. The PE exam content evolves, and so should your study resources. It’s crucial to use current and comprehensive materials that align with the latest exam specifications and formats. This includes textbooks, practice exams, and online resources that are up-to-date and relevant to the current exam format.

6 – Distractions While Studying:

Distractions can severely hinder your ability to study effectively. Social media, smartphones, and other forms of entertainment can eat into your valuable study time. Creating a dedicated study space, setting specific study hours, and using techniques like the Pomodoro Technique can help minimize distractions and enhance focus.

7 – Exam Stress and Anxiety:

High levels of stress and anxiety can impair your ability to perform well in the exam. Techniques such as mindfulness, deep breathing exercises, and positive affirmations can be effective in managing stress. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and sufficient sleep also play a significant role in reducing anxiety levels.

8 – Not Knowing Exam Specifications:

A deep understanding of the NCEES exam specifications is crucial for targeted and effective study. These specifications outline the topics and subtopics that will be covered in the exam, allowing you to allocate your study time appropriately. Familiarizing yourself with these specifications ensures that no key area is overlooked during your preparation.

9 – Unfamiliarity with the NCEES® Reference Handbook:

The NCEES Reference Handbook is an indispensable resource during the PE exam. It contains formulas, tables, and other reference material that are essential for solving exam problems. Prior familiarity with the layout and content of this handbook can save valuable time during the exam. It’s beneficial to practice looking up information in the handbook as part of your study routine.

10 – Not Being Mentally Prepared on Exam Day:

Mental preparation is as important as academic preparation. This includes being in the right state of mind on the day of the exam. Strategies such as visualization, positive self-talk, and relaxation techniques can help maintain a calm and focused mindset. A healthy breakfast and arriving early at the exam venue can also contribute to a positive start to the exam day.

Failing the PE exam doesn’t define you as an engineer. It’s a learning experience. By understanding where things went wrong and taking proactive steps, you can turn this setback into an opportunity for growth. Success in the PE exam, like in engineering itself, comes from hard work, perseverance, and continuous learning.

Remember, every challenge is an opportunity to grow. Keep pushing forward, stay dedicated, and your efforts will pay off.

Mastering the Civil PE Exam: The 3-Pass Method Explained

April 2, 2024 by Anthony Fasano, P.E. Leave a Comment

In this article (and video above), I dive deep into a tried-and-true strategy for mastering the Civil PE Exam called the 3-Pass Method. This method isn’t just a theory; it’s a practical, time-tested approach that I found invaluable during my exam journey. So, let’s break it down and see how it can help you ace that test!

Time:

The Civil PE Exam, for example, is split into two 4-hour sections. While eight hours might seem ample, trust me, it flies by when you’re solving problem after problem. That’s why a solid time-management strategy is crucial, and that’s exactly where the 3-Pass Method comes in.

What’s the 3-Pass Method?

It’s a systematic approach to navigating the exam efficiently and effectively. Let’s go through each pass, step by step.

Pass 1: The Quick Wins

This initial sweep is all about quick wins and assessing the terrain. Here, you’ll flip through all 40 problems. Your goal? To identify and solve the simplest ones, ideally in less than a minute each. For those slightly trickier problems that you’re confident about but need 2-4 minutes, mark them with a “2” and move on. And for the real head-scratchers that leave you puzzled at first glance, give them a “3” and keep going. Aim to spend about 30-60 minutes on this pass in practice, but try to get it down to 30 minutes in the real exam. Ideally, you’ll have nailed at least 20% of the problems in this round.

Pass 2: The Steady Pace

This is where the heavy lifting happens. Now, you’ll revisit those problems marked with a “2”. These are the questions you feel good about, but they require a bit more time and thought. Your mission is to work through these methodically, averaging about 2-2.5 minutes per problem. Remember, if you’re stuck for more than 3 minutes, make a guess, mark it, and plan to come back to it in the final pass. Budget about 1.5-2 hours for this phase. By its end, you should have confidently tackled around 70-80% of the exam!

Pass 3: The Final Challenge

The final stretch. Now you return to the problems marked with a “3”. Often, you’ll find they’re not as daunting as they first seemed. Your brain’s been subconsciously processing them while you work through the other sections. Tackle these to the best of your ability. If there are still a few that baffle you, don’t sweat it. Guess, move on, and remember: you’ve built a solid foundation in the first two passes.

As the clock winds down, if you finish early, you have a choice: review your answers or wrap up and enjoy some extra time in your day.

Remember, the 3-Pass Method is a framework, not a rigid rulebook. Adapt it to your style, pace, and needs. Consistent practice, dedication, and strategic approaches like this are your keys to acing the Civil PE Exam.

I can personally attest to the effectiveness of the 3-Pass Method. It’s a game-changer. Practice it with your practice exams, and you’ll walk into the test day ready and confident.
