I will have the necessary PE experience beginning July, 2016 which will allow me to get my application in the nick of time for the October, 2016 PE exam.

I have done a decent job cataloging my experience by creating folders of all the work I have done on my computer. I need to start putting this experience down on paper. Would anyone have a template of how this experience looks on paper for the Texas PE? Their website states the following:

"While gaining experience, it is equally critical that you document it in such a way that you can summarize it for the Board. As you go about your weekly tasks, you should keep a detailed diary of your activities: the starting and ending dates of the project(s) on which you worked, name and address of each employer, job title(s), the name, present addresses and phone numbers of the engineers and other persons with which you personally worked who can serve as a reference to substantiate your experience, identification of the project, the scope of the project, and the engineering activities that you personally performed."

I work for a large construction company and most of my work is as a temporary structures engineer as well as heavy lift designer. I may work on 5-10 projects in a year, throughout the year. So I may work on project A this week, project B next week, and jump back to project A 3 weeks down the road. So my project start and end dates would not be chronological because I hop around. Any advice for dealing with that?

Also, I am debating taking the Construction PE just because it looks easier, then I would take the Structural PE the following 6 months. I am not sure if I ever would try and take the SE, took my bosses several tries and I feel they are way smarter than me. Any thoughts on taking the "easy" route by doing Construction PE first?
