Calculus Refresher For The Fundamentals Of Engineering Exam

Calculus Refresher for the FE Exam was written in response to the requests of countless FE candidates. Many engineers report having more difficulty with problems involving calculus than with anything else on the FE exam. Almost everyone can benefit from a concise review of the subject! The author provides background theory, clear explanatory text, relevant examples, and FE-style practice problems (with solutions).

The FE exam, the first in the two-part engineering licensing process, is taken typically by upper-level students or recent graduates in April or October. This eight-hour exam is closed-book except for a handout provided in the examination room. The exam is divided into morning and afternoon sessions. The morning exam, with 120 multiple-choice problems, is the same for everyone. In the afternoon, examinees must choose to take a discipline-specific (DS) or a general exam, each with 60 multiple-choice problems. The Discipline-Specific Reviews are used to study for the afternoon DS exams.

This book is unique in English as a refresher for engineers, technicians, and students who either wish to brush up their calculus or find parts of calculus unclear. It is not an ordinary textbook. It is, instead, an examination of the most important aspects of integral and differential calculus in terms of the 756 questions most likely to occur to the technical reader. It provides a very easily followed presentation and may also be used as either an introductory or supplementary textbook. The first part of this book covers simple differential calculus, with constants, variables, functions, increments, derivatives, differentiation, logarithms, curvature of curves, and similar topics. The second part covers fundamental ideas of integration (inspection, substitution, transformation, reduction) areas and volumes, mean value, successive and partial integration, double and triple integration. In all cases the author stresses practical aspects rather than theoretical, and builds upon such situations as might occur. A 50-page section illustrates the application of calculus to specific problems of civil and nautical engineering, electricity, stress and strain, elasticity, industrial engineering, and similar fields. 756 questions answered. 566 problems to measure your knowledge and improvement; answers. 36 pages of useful constants, formulae for ready reference.

The best-selling review book for the general Fundamentals of Engineering (FE/EIT) exam. New to this edition are coverage of new subjects within selected topic areas -- following the official exam hand-out -- and more practice problems. Every exam topic is reviewed, and there are more than 1100 problems and a realistic 8-hour practice exam. Solutions to all problems and the practice exam are included. The EIT Review Manual features a money-back guarantee from the publisher.

I am often asked the question, "Should I get my PE license or not?" Unfortunately the answer is, Probably. First let's take a look at the licensing process and understand why it exists, then take a look at extreme situations for an attempt at a yes/no answer, and finally consider the exams. All 50 have a constitutionally defined responsibility to protect the public. From an engineering point of view, as well as many other professions, this responsibility is met by the process of licensure and in our case the Professional Engineer License. Though there are different experience requirements for different states, the meaning of the license is common. The licensee demonstrates academic competency in the Fundamentals of Engineering by examination (Principles and Practices at PE time). The licensee demonstrates qualifying work experience (at PE time). The licensee ascribes to the Code of Ethics of the NSPE, and to the laws of the state of registration. Having presented these qualities the licensee is certified as an Intern Engineer, and the state involved has fulfilled its constitutionally defined responsibility to protect the public.
