These are two features that will help you phase out of your old email. If people continue to email you after you have closed your account an automated reply will tell them where they can now reach you. You can also have those emails forwarded to you at your new email address. However, some email accounts will close completely after a waiting period, and automated replies and email forwarding will stop after that time.  For example, If you have a Microsoft account, go to “Managing your account”, and select “Email forwarding”. Enter in the new email address you want your emails to be forwarded to. Under “Managing your account” you can also select “Sending automated vacation replies”, and follow the steps to write the automated message. When you delete your Gmail account, it will not close or reuse your email, because you will still have an account through Google. If you have an Outlook.com email address, your old email address can be recycled to another user after 60 days. For example, go to Gmail, and do not go to Google Accounts. The reason this can be confusing is that you use your email account to sign into your Google account, so be careful not to delete your Google account if you are trying to delete your email. If you delete your entire account with Google, for example, you will loose your YouTube account and Google search history. Delete the email address by going to the settings for the Gmail app. This page may be under your "Settings" or the "Manage your account" tab. If you have trouble locating the page, go to the support page for your email service, and use Ctrl+F to search for “delete my account”, or just “delete”.  Follow the steps and navigate to the page to delete your account.  You will have to re-enter the password to your account to confirm your identity and delete your account. There will be a list of reasons why you want to delete the account. Choose whichever reason applies to you, or click “Other” and write in your response. The service will most likely try to convince you to keep your account. Continue to the bottom of the page, and confirm that you want to close your account. For example, in Microsoft emails the final step will say “Mark account for closure”, click on this button to finish the process and delete your account. If you change your mind and want your account back, log back into your email account, and proceed through steps to reactivate the account. Most email providers will wait for a period before they permanently close your account. Check with your email service to see how long their waiting period is by looking at the FAQs or Support page for information on their account closing policies. For example, for Microsoft, they will wait 60 days before they will completely close the account and reuse your email address.

summary: Set up email forwarding and automated replies. Go to the email app to delete your email. Navigate to the page to delete your account. Confirm that you want to close the account. Reopen your email account.

In order to relieve the pressure in your fuel system, you will need to run the vehicle without the fuel pump functioning for a short time.  In order to prevent the fuel pump from turning on with the engine, you will need to locate the fuse box that contains the fuel pump fuse.  Most vehicles have a fuse box both in the interior of the car as well as under the hood.  Refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual to locate the appropriate fuse box.  If you do not have an owner’s manual, try referring to the auto maker’s website. The fuse for the fuel pump is often in the fuse box locating in the interior of the vehicle. Once you have located the correct fuse box, use the diagram provided on the fuse box cover or in the owner’s manual to identify the fuse that powers the fuel pump.  Use a pair of needle nose pliers or plastic tweezers to remove the fuse.  With the fuse removed, the fuel pump will not function when you start the engine. There is still fuel and pressure in the fuel lines running from the rear to the front of the vehicle. Check the auto maker’s website for a fuse diagram if you do not have one. Although the engine will not be receiving a fresh supply of fuel from the gas tank, there will be enough fuel left in the lines for it to start and run briefly.  Make sure automatic vehicles are in park and vehicles equipped with a standard transmission are in neutral with the parking brake engaged.  Although the vehicle will only run briefly, it will still move if left in gear. Be sure the parking brake is engaged if you are in a standard vehicle.  The parking brake is optional but advised for automatics. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to start the motor just as you would any other time.  The engine should start easily as it expends the fuel remaining in the fuel system past the fuel pump.  If the engine turns over but then sputters out, it may not have had sufficient pressure in the lines to force the fuel into the engine. If the engine dies, the fuel pressure will be sufficiently relieved. Depending on the fuel system in your vehicle and its average fuel consumption, the amount of time it will run without a functioning fuel pump can vary greatly.  It does not need to run until it dies, however.  Instead just allow it to run for a minute or two before turning the key back to off.  Without the fuel pump functioning, the pressure will be relieved in the fuel lines fairly quickly. Allowing the engine to run until it dies may make it difficult to start it again. With the pressure relieved from the fuel system and the engine off, you can re-insert the fuse that powers the fuel pump.  Place the cover back on the fuse box and return any pieces of the trim you may have needed to remove to access it.  Make sure the vehicle is off before replacing the fuse you removed. Do not start the engine again after inserting the fuel pump fuse.

summary: Locate your vehicle’s fuse box. Remove the fuse for the fuel pump. Ensure the vehicle is not in gear. Start the engine. Allow the engine to run for a minute before shutting it off. Re-insert the fuel pump fuse.

When you're preparing for your licensing exams, you should take advantage of the prep materials offered by NCEES, the same company which administers the exams. NCEES offers practice exams that you can take to become familiar with the format of the exam. They also provide copies of their handbooks, which you will be able to reference during the exams. Depending on your field of study, the hardest part of the FE and PE exams is usually the general knowledge section, since this tests a broad range of subjects you might not be as familiar with. For example, an electrical engineer might not have as much knowledge about beams. Practice exams can help you identify the areas you might struggle with during the test. After you graduate, you should take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. This is the first step in becoming a licensed engineer, regardless of your field of study. The FE exam is administered by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES). It’s an open-book, multiple choice exam that is about 8 hours long and covers basic and advanced engineering principles. To prepare for the FE exam, sign up for a review course and take sample tests online. Since you will be able to use your book during the test, get a copy of the NCEES handbook and become familiar with its contents. This will help you easily access the information you need during the test. Once you’ve completed 4 years of field experience, you’ll need to take the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) Civil exam. This is an 8-hour open-book exam with 80 questions related to advanced civil engineering concepts.The PE Civil exam is offered twice a year.  The PE Civil exam includes 2 parts. The first part, administered in the morning, includes questions from the 5 main areas of practice in civil engineering. These include construction, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, transportation, and water resources and environmental engineering. The second part of the test, given in the afternoon, focuses on a single one of these 5 areas of practice, selected by you when you register for the exam.  The PE exam is necessary to become a licensed professional engineer. The test is designed to be challenging, but not impossible to pass, so take preparation seriously.
summary: Prepare for both the the FE and PE exams with NCEES prep materials. Take sample tests to help you study for the FE and PE exams. Take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. Pass the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam.
