  • 4th Down & 3 Yards to Go: How Gracie Johnson Scored a PE Touchdown

    Passing the PE exam isn't always a straight play to the end zone. Gracie Johnson knows that firsthand. After 3 attempts off by 1-2 questions, she was down to one more run — and this time, she scored the touchdown! 👇

    Gracie is a civil engineer in Texas who had a very turbulent experience with the PE exam. She got off to a rocky start in 2024, when the specs changes made the course she had bought totally obsolete. Then, she tried a review course that left her second-guessing herself. 

    Now, add in wedding planning, an unexpected apartment flood, and full-time job…and you've got quite a few curveballs to deal with. 😅

    In this episode, she dives into how she managed to pull that off even with all of this going on, and everything she learned along the way.

    From how she organized her study time around her life and her insane cadence for taking practice exams that worked really well (+ why)...all the way to the biggest surprise she’s had on the exam that may be the reason why the Transportation pass rates plummeted in latest stats.

    If you’re taking the transportation PE exam, especially if you’re a repeat taker, you’ll want to listen to this one. There’s a lot of wisdom you can apply to your own prep, from someone who walked the walk. 😉

  • How Laser Scans Can Make Tank Thickness Testing Smarter With Travis Keener

    Failure of tanks that store highly hazardous chemicals can be huge, like the Longview Tank Disaster this year. The problem? The current method used to keep track of the structural integrity of the tanks is from 1967! 😲

    There’s another way to spot thinning tank walls before they become a serious problem, and that’s exactly what Travis Keener, PE, jumps back on the show to talk about!

    After years working with SPCC plans and tank inspections, he’s been exploring with a brand-new method to measure tank wall thickness that could change the way engineers approach tank inspections forever.

    In this episode, he breaks down what this method is, how it works, its limitations, and what it means for the traditional ultrasonic thickness (UT) meters.

    Go give this episode a listen wherever you get your podcasts, or watch the full interview on YouTube. 😉

  • A Career Journey in Structural Engineering With Zach Bowden

    What does a career in Structural Engineering look like? 🤔

    Most people think it’s only the (demanding) technical side, but that’s not the case — and Structural Engineer Zach Bowden, P.E. is here to prove it. 👇

    In this episode, Zach jumps on the show to pull back the curtain on what a career in Structural Engineering looks by diving into his own journey into the field.

    From how he got into it to what he learned working on every complex project from seismic design to mass timber...all the way to the need for the PE vs SE license if you want to build a career in structural engineering.

    Do you really need the SE? Zach answers that question.

    On top of that, there’s another side to Zach’s career that’s just as interesting: Structural Engineering educator.

    He also dives into why he started The Structural Engineering Podcast, and how talking with other Structural Engineers from across the industry has helped him in his own career, as well as given back to the next generation of Structural Engineers.

  • Crushing the FE and PE Exams Just 36 Days Apart With Angello Murekye

    The normal path is getting the FE first and the PE second…but who said you can’t do it the other way around? 🤔 That’s what Angello Murekye did — and he passed both exams just 36 days apart! 😳 👇

    Angello is a civil engineer who has practiced, taught, and conducted research in Uganda, Europe, and the United States. He came to the US for a PhD at Virginia Tech and built a career in the pavement segment of transportation. 

    At the time, skipping the FE made total sense for his unique situation to get licensed in the US…until it didn’t. 😅

    In this episode, he shares the details of this unique journey to get the PE license by passing the FE second (and why!), while not holding back on exam prep tips that worked for him to get this done so soon (and so fast!) either.

    Whether you’re working toward your FE or PE, there’s a lot to take away from Angello’s story to apply to your own journey. And if you’re an international engineer, his journey offers even more useful pieces of advice for you on navigating the US path to license to supercharge your career.

    So, go give this episode a listen wherever you get your podcasts and go hear how Angello managed to pass both PE and FE just 36 days apart — and the lessons he picked along the way.
