FE Exam Study Materials

If you are taking the FE Exam (short for the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam) you will need some study materials and references to aide your preparation for this exam so that you can get your EIT (Engineer in Training) Certification as soon as possible.

The things that you will want for your FE Exam review include:  The NCEES Reference manual, A good Core reference manual that covers the core of the subjects,  several practice problems, and a sample exam to ascertain what areas you need to put more preparation into.  Here are a few suggestions of study materials for the FE Exam.  Given the breadth and depth format of the FE Exam, you will likely need a materials that cover both the breadth and depth aspect of the exam.

Most of your preparation will be doing problems, but you will need the reference manual to aide you when you hit a stumbling block.  The process will be to first establish a study schedule, breaking down the exam into its subjects, and allocating time for each subject.  Then, go over the chapters for the subject in the reference manual, and work the problems in that subject.  Then, repeat for each of the subjects until you have gone through all of the material.
