CEA - Albania in Construction to USA Geotech PM with Spiro Kola

In this episode, Spiro Kola explains the good and bad of becoming a civil engineer in the US coming from another country. From lessons learned after graduating and taking the FE exam to how he landed a job in the middle of the pandemic in his chosen field, Spiro has you covered — whether you’re an immigrant or US citizen.

Tune in to Learn:

  • The biggest hurdle for international students coming into the US to study engineering
  • What civil engineering undergrads should be doing in school in addition to studying
  • Lessons learned after taking the FE exam three times you need to know
  • Alternative-Item Type Questions: how often do they appear? Are they more difficult?
  • Strategies to land a civil engineering job — plus an old-school way that still works
  • What the decoupling of the PE exam is and what it means for those who pass the FE
  • A little-known and unconventional resource for geotechnical engineers
