@holy-cow You honor I rest my case.
Those of us who actually took the PE exam are fully aware of what a crock you are presenting here. The only problem I solved that was easy was one from the Civil Engineering category that involved determining the lifespan of a certain landfill based on certain provided information. Every other potential problem to solve in any category from Chemical to Nuclear required certain assumptions to be made beyond the provided data. Solving a statically indeterminate loading circumstance is not a freshman or sophomore level test problem. The chemical engineering problem I solved was thanks to the graduate course I took in Heat Transfer not merely the introduction to the concept in the sophomore Engineering Physics courses. The mechanical engineering problem involving vibration theory and acoustic calculations was extremely challenging and definitely not a beginner level task.
Don’t know the last time you sat for a LS exam, but sometimes there’s a lot of stupid quirky historical questions that don’t really have anything to do with actual surveying.
The problem with that is the prime mover in Missouri licensure, Dr. Richard Elgin, spent his time in Southeast Asia flying choppers. Thus, he is well schooled in the “Charlie out” practice. Odds are better the correct answer is not C.
Dick Elgin was my first ‘real’ instructor in boundary law. We caught up at the 2020 Idaho conference. It was great to finally tell him the impact he made on my career..
@holy-cow Well pin a rose on you. Youre so smart.
H&MT is the best weed out class ever.
