General Guidelines for
California Problems
Every state has an examination engineers must pass to
become a registered professional engineer. In the past
there have typically been six problems in a three hour
segment of the California Professional Engineers Exam.
Consequently one should be able to work each problem
in 30 minutes or less. Many of these problems involve an
intermediate calculation to determine the final answer.

Some Hints:
1. Group unknown parameters/values on the same side of
the equation
example:
[unknowns] = [knowns]
