Transportation is changing fast. From sustainability concerns to climate resiliency to EVs, the systems we use today will look very different very soon. That’s what Christy Mihyeon Jeon joins us to talk about. 👇

After 24 years in transportation planning and engineering, working on everything from major highway projects to electrification of transportation systems, as well as being named one of the “100 Most Influential Women in Engineering,” she’s someone everyone in the industry should listen to. 

In this episode, she pulls back the curtain on what transportation planning actually is and how it differs from the other niches within transportation engineering — like traffic operations.

But what about where the industry headed? 🤔

Way ahead of you!

She also dives into what that future will likely look like. From EVs all the way to autonomous vehicles, the future of transportation systems and infrastructure will be very different — and getting there means overcoming some really complex challenges she also talks about here.

Whether you already work in transportation or you're thinking about jumping into the field, this conversation can help you see the bigger picture for what’s currently going on in the profession…and what’s still to come.

So, hit play to give this one a listen and hear what Christy has to say about the present and future of transportation engineering. 😉

What if you could pass the FE exam on your first try…totally on your own? Clara Feitoza did exactly that — and she says CEA played a huge role in helping her get there. Here’s how. 👇

After nearly three years out of college, Clara had to juggle work, graduate school, and an insanely intense 2.5-month study plan. She listened to our podcast in every way she could and used the strategies she picked up from passing CEA students to build a game plan she could actually stick to.

And boy, did she stick to it!

Clara worked through more than 2,000 practice problems, took weekly practice exams (not a typo!), and used what she had to help her learn: AI tools as her “study buddy.”

In this episode, she shares all the details of this journey. From the tips from past CEA students that worked perfectly for her, all the way to the lessons she had to learn herself while going through the process.

If you’re taking the FE exam, there’s plenty here for you to steal and apply to your own prep to get this thing over with as soon as possible.

If the Geotechnical PE Exam is on your radar for 2027, then this next episode in our walkthrough series on the upcoming 2027 NCEES specification updates is for you! 👇

For this one, we dive into the geotechnical specifications and do what we did for the Water Resources, Transportation, and Construction exams — compare the current specs with the new one so you know exactly what's changing in 2027…and what isn't.

The good news? 🤔

The exam topics themselves have stayed the same. The real story is the updated codes and standards you'll need to be familiar with on exam day. 

So, if you’re planning to take the Geotech PE Exam next year, you’ll want to listen to this one to know what you’ll be up against — and how to prep for it. 💪

🚨 REMINDER 🚨

The official PDF document released by the NCEES for the 2027 specifications states that it’s effective 2024 for the exam content, and then that it’s effective 2027 when you scroll down to the codes and standards section. That’s correct! It means that the only thing they changed was the codes required — that’s why it reads “2027” — but the exam topics and content remain the same from the 2024 specs. Don’t let this technicality throw you off!

🧠 TUNE IN TO LEARN:

• Where to Find the New Specs for the Geotech PE Exam (+ Exam Info Recap)

• How Much Does the PE Exam Cost? 

• The Process to Apply for the PE Exam...And The Importance of Having the FE Done

• How the NCEES Goes About Updating the Specs 

• Where to Find the Required Exam Resources (And How to Use Them on Exam Day)

• The NCEES Guide and Official Prep Materials for Test-Takers

• Where to Apply for ADA Accommodations for the PE Exam

• Where to Find the Latest Pass Rates on the Official Exam

• The Biggest Confusion With the New Specs: Why Does It Read "Effective 2024"? 

• What's Changing in the Exam Content in 2027 — or is It?

• What's Changing in the Design Standards for Geotech in 2027

• The Increase in the Number of Codes Over the Years (+ The Key to Handle Them All)

Taking the Construction PE Exam? 🤔 Then check out this next episode in our series breaking down the upcoming 2027 NCEES specs for all civil PE exams. This time focused on Construction. 👇

In this one, just like we did for the Water Resources and Transportation exams, we compare the current 2024 specs with the new ones effective April 2027 so you know exactly what's changing — and what isn't.
