This thread brings back memories of when I first considered taking the PE exam. At the time, I was juggling work and personal projects and trying to find the best resources to prepare. I remember stumbling upon a mix of recommendations—textbooks, review manuals, and even free physics courses that helped clarify some of the trickier concepts in circuits and power systems.
It wasn’t just about passing the exam but also gaining a deeper understanding of my field. The journey itself was eye-opening, especially the experience of working under a licensed PE. It showed me how much responsibility and precision the role entails.
To anyone preparing for the exam now, I’d suggest not rushing through it. Take the time to build a strong foundation, whether through formal coursework or supplementary resources with free lectures online. They can really make a difference when you’re tackling complex problems.
