FE - EIT: AM (Engineer in Training Exam) w/CD-ROM (Engineering (FE/EiT) Test Preparation)

You Can Succeed on the FE: AM EXAM By reviewing and studying this book, you can succeed on the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination Morning Session. The entire FE Exam is an eight-hour, supplied-reference exam split into AM and PM sessions lasting four hours apiece; the morning session is common to all engineering disciplines, while the afternoon session is offered in five disciplines. Because the FE was formerly known as the EIT (Engineer-in-Training) Exam, many aspiring engineers know it today as the "FE/EIT." The purpose of REA's The Best Test Preparation & Review Course for the FE: AM Exam is to prepare you sufficiently for the morning portion of the FE Exam. Our book does this by providing you with 12 review chapters-each of which includes sample problems-and three full-length practice tests. Our review chapters and practice tests have been crafted by experts on the FE to reflect the scope and difficulty level of the actual FE: AM Exam. In accordance with the move by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) to all-metric AM exams, we have gone all-metric (with the necessary exception of a few problems). You'll find that our topical reviews are rich in examples that feature thorough, step-by-step solutions. REA's practice tests enable you to completely simulate the FE test-taking experience while providing the added value of detailed explanations for every answer. While availing yourself of either the reviews or the practice tests alone would surely be helpful, we strongly recommend using the two approaches in tandem. About our Authors In order to provide review material for you that properly captures all subjects and subtopics covered on the actual FE: AM Exam, every chapter in this book has been carefully prepared by text experts in various fields of engineering. Our authors and editorial review board have thoroughly examined and researched the mechanics of the FE: AM Exam to ensure that our book is accurate, calibrated to the correct difficulty level, and relevant to the FE-from start to finish. Our experts, most of whom are P.E.'s and Ph.D.'s, have been widely published and are highly regarded both within and outside academia, holding positions at leading U.S. colleges and universities and in private industry. About the Test The Fundamentals of Engineering Exam is one part in the four-step process toward becoming a professional engineer (P.E.). It is administered by NCEES and is offered twice a year, on Saturdays in April and October. Graduating from an approved four-year engineering program and passing the FE qualifies you for certification as an Engineer-in-Training or an Engineer Intern. The final two steps towards licensing as a P.E. involve completion of four years of additional engineering experience and passing the Principles and Practices of Engineering (PE) Examination, which NCEES also administers. Registration as a professional engineer is deemed both highly rewarding and beneficial in the engineering community. To register for the FE, contact your state's Board of Examiners for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. To find the licensing board in your state and to get information on the exams, contact NCEES: National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying P.O.

One section, the FE: AM, is given in the morning while the other, the FE: PM, is administered in the afternoon. This book will prepare you for the FE: AM Exam. The FE: AM is a supplied-reference exam, so candidates are not permitted to bring reference material into the test center. Instead, you will be mailed a reference guide when you register for the exam. You can also view, at no charge, the entire up-to-date FE Supplied-Reference Handbook at the NCEES Website.
