MPEP-E45: He Didn't Touch Engineering for 4 Years — Then Passed the PE Exam
Evan Adamson took a winding road to his PE license — from centrifugal pumps in California, to roller coaster wheels, to a cross-country COVID move to Texas that pulled him out of engineering for nearly four years. In this episode, he shares how he rebuilt his technical foundation from scratch, developed a study plan that had him walking into exam day with genuine confidence, and learned the crucial difference between getting the right answer and truly understanding why. He also opens up about the support system that kept him balanced through the grind and the office hours moments that changed how he approached hard problems. If you've ever doubted whether you're too far removed from the material to pass, Evan's story is the answer you need to hear.

MPEP-44: He Waited 10 Years — Then Passed the PE in 8 Weeks

Then in just 8 weeks, he passed.

MPEP-43: Didn’t Pass the Mechanical PE (TFS) the First Time? Listen to This.
In this episode, Dan Molloy PE speaks with Jonah Murray who shares how he navigated a major career pivot—from wastewater projects to overhead transmission lines—while preparing for and ultimately passing the Thermal & Fluids Systems PE exam. After coming up short on his first attempt, Jonah regrouped and rebuilt his approach, committing to early-morning study sessions during his busiest season of the year, when long workdays and officiating basketball games left little room for evenings. He opens up about managing anxiety, closing knowledge gaps, and learning to think clearly under pressure—especially when facing unfamiliar problems on exam day. This conversation is a practical and honest look at what it takes to turn a setback into momentum—and how steady preparation, patience, and the right structure can completely change your experience the second time around.
