FE Exam Review: Electrical and Computer Engineering
Tags: choice problems, Computer, computer engineering, Electrical, Engineering, Exam, fe exam review, Review
The Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Examination is also known as the Engineer In Training (EIT) Exam, and the Engineer Intern (EI) Exam. It is a national exam but administered by individual states. The exam covers the general base of engineering knowledge in the morning session and then one of seven engineering specialties in the afternoon.
This book covers the morning session topics, but concentrates on the electrical (and to some extent the computer) engineering test. It is a quick sommary of how you are going to be tested in the format of questions similar to those on the exam, followed by the procedure to answer the question, after that is a trial test with only the answers provided instead of the whole procedure.
In addition the book has a lot of hints that make good sense, i.e. take two calculators to the test just in case one quits, is stolen, or whatever.
And one particularly good piece of advice:
Set your wristwatch alarm for five minutes before the end of each four-hour session, and use that remaining time to guess at all the remaining unsolved problems. Do not work up until the very end. You will be successful with about 25 percent of your guesses (each question has four possible answers), and these points will more than make up for the few points you might earn by working during the last five minutes.
That’s good sense, and it shows that the author understands how the test is going to be graded.

The book is pretty good but I found an error early on in the book.
Rating: 4 / 5
This book is a good exam review of the FE/EIT. I used this book to get a review of what the test would look like. This book is designed for both parts of the general FE. So if you can get like 60% of the questions right. Your set at least for the first half of the test. After this book I managed to finish 15-20 minutes early after multiple reviews of the first half of the exam. I did not take the general second half. Make sure you study what’s going to be on the test. The bio section is on the second half of the general exam, not the first half. Have a plan of attack, create a schedule and you should do well. It’s lacking the electrical logic optimization (K maps).
Rating: 4 / 5
This book features a lot of exercises, but unless you are extremely rusty or have little knowledge in general principles I wouldn’t recommend this book. The exercises are incredibly basic, and the book is riddled with errors (I lost count after the second chapter). I’d recommend another book.

If you are looking for a book that will help you on the afternoon electrical specific portion of the FE (or EIT) don’t get this book. it helps alot with the morning session and gives alot of good ideas on being prepared and ready for the exam in general, but not alot on the afternoon portion
