However, I do not consider myself a "young engineer". I'm 50 years old and even though I graduated in 2006 (yes it took me 8 years and I worked as an Engr. Tech) sometimes I feel that I should push this out of my mind and consider myself a "young engineer". Any advice on not letting my age make excuses for me? I do feel younger than 50 and I'm trying to work that one! I really like the article Holiday Spirit and that Looming PE Exam. However, I do not consider myself a “young engineer”.

However, I would expect that ploting the circle would not be part of the test, it would more likely be determine the effective stress or some other stress they are asking for based on the information they give you.

I suggest you contact your state's board and pose the question directly. Hope this helps.
