Derek Pham, PE, SE

Happy #LicensedPEDay! Why am I an engineer? Because I want to make a positive impact on people's lives through the quality and care of my work. If you are not licensed already, join me on this important journey! thestructuralguy.com/why-you-need-a…

So you passed your PE or SE exam (congrats!), but do you know what to do next? Check out the post below for some must-dos. thestructuralguy.com/5-important-ta…

@mtmiran This was done a few years ago but the total demolition cost was $5,000. The price included everything, not just the concrete demolition.

@MrPhamSE Cool, may I ask how much did it cost for demo and hauling away debris? I guess it didn't take more than a day with this machine...I am dealing with a similar project :)

@chemathsm @NCEES Check out this article for some answers to your questions. thestructuralguy.com/eitfe-everythi…

@NCEES I'm thankful for such warm feelings & cool wishes! I'd raise 4 queries; 1. How long does a result of a CBT FE exam take? 2. What kind of result will the examinee get? Pass/Fail, a grade, or a percentage? 3. Is there a searching technique in the digital handbook (i.e., CTRL+F)?

From everyone at NCEES, we wish you a happy, healthy, and peaceful holiday season.

@mtmiran The cost of concrete demolition was minimal for my 570 square foot ADU. They used this mini excavator to remove the concrete. It even fit through my relatively small side gate.

@MrPhamSE Interesting, wasn't a huge cost to cut and remove all that concrete?

Pray for me this week, that I need to get ready for my Civil FE test

@CivilEngAcad @TeslaSolar It will be interesting to see how NEM 3.0 will work out in California this year and what that will do to the solar market here in the future.

@MrPhamSE @TeslaSolar Great article and experience shared! I found this article very interesting about net metering in general. thehill.com/opinion/energy…

@JeezJose @NCEES Yes, I do think they have the most comprehensive and best program out there.

@MrPhamSE @NCEES Yeah i was reading it, so PPI it is i see..

All PE exam results from the April 2021 pencil-and-paper engineering exams were released to NCEES member licensing boards on June 2. Results from the 16-hour Structural exams were released on June 11. How and when examinees receive their results vary by state.

@JeezJose @NCEES Check out this post for recommendations regarding the EIT review courses thestructuralguy.com/7-easy-steps-t…

@NCEES Do you recommend any specific EIT tutoring courses???..

@heyimsp Congrats on completing your program! Everyone's situation is different, but I think good networking is the best way to get a job. Start with people you know (friends, classmates, professors), then LinkedIn and job search engines. Good luck!

@MrPhamSE Thank you sir for connecting with me. I'm about to complete my Structural Engineering prog. in a couple of days now and am looking for starting my career in structural designs. Any suggestions on where should i start?
