Hi Dr. Kamalvand, I passed the FE Exam! Thank you for taking out of your time to teach the FE Refresher Course! Your session was helpful (especially the probabilities and statics session). You provided a great review of material and useful test-taking strategies. Again, thank you! -- Terri T. Kellough

The decision to become registered as a Professional Engineer (PE) is an important decision. Increasingly, engineering positions of significant responsibility require a P.E. as a condition of appointment or advancement. For engineering work dealing with the public, registration as a PE is a requirement. The first step in the registration process is to pass the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination. The FE Refresher Course is dedicated to assisting senior engineering students and professional non-students in preparation for the Engineering-In-Training (EIT), Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam. The refresher course is completely separate from the examination and is not required to take the examination. The overall objective is to provide students and non-students with useful information in preparation for the morning session of the FE exam. In each class session a brief review of theory and fundamentals is presented. Selected questions are answered and problems worked.
