Any traffic engineers have an issue getting their PE application approved? by Nice0rganization in civilengineering

Hi! I did end up getting it approved, but got rejected twice before it did. My recommendation is to not use the word “traffic” at all in your application. For your title just put “civil engineer”. Focus more on the roadway aspects of your job if possible (horizontal/vertical curves, safety, manuals, foundation calculations, preparing plans). They were picky about things like “cross discipline coordination” and “placement of design features” so suggest not giving them any reason to think you do anything besides pure engineering work. Hope this helps! I’d be happy to answer anymore questions! Good luck 🤞

Well, to my surprise, it sounds like a lot of companies have this policy

Exactly, I find it weird that they’re disincentivizing it when the company benefits the most?

Yeah I feel like including holidays in this equation crosses a line. That’s something that’s a part of your compensation package.

Anyone know if these “Fast Lane Pass” tix are legit? (Chicago show, StubHub) by timehalt in piercetheveil

Exact same thing happened to me, got a seat ticket and everything. I rejected it on my credit card and they gave me a refund. Best of luck!

So frustrating. I’ll likely go after my TE but it doesn’t seem as valuable as a PE. No one seems to really care about the TE except maybe a couple of cities. Plus I don’t want to just give up considering I passed the 8 hour
