Effective January 2014, the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exams
are drastically different. The new format, to be delivered via CBT
(computer based testing), will become the norm in 2014. The exam
can be taken throughout the year, unlike the twice a year schedule.
The syllabus for the new FE CIVIL exam is very different from the
one you would have taken if you took the paper test (last one
October 2013). The test will now have approximately 5 hours and 20
minutes available for approximately 110 questions. In the past, AM
questions were of the 2 minute variety and PM questions were of the
4 minute variety. Now, you have about 3 minutes per question. So,
the average pace of the exam is about the same. This book has a
full length practice exam with a mix of questions as recommended in
the official syllabus (www.ncees.org). The only reference that
should be used is the FE Reference Handbook, 9th edition,
preferably the electronic (PDF) version, since the CBT exam will be
supported by a PDF version of the handbook rather than a hardcopy.
The practice exam contains questions from Mathematics, Probability
& Statistics, Computational Methods, Ethics, Engineering
Economics, Statics, Dynamics, Mechanics of Materials, Fluid
Mechanics, Materials, Hydraulics & Hydrology, Environmental
Engineering, Construction, Geotechnical Engineering, Surveying,
Structural Analysis & Design & Transportation.
Two new Civil PE Practice Exams (40 questions + Solutions in each
exam) created by Dr. Indranil Goswami. All of these questions are
different from the breadth exams in the McGraw Hill publication by
the same author, which came out in 2012. Formatted in the same
manner as the NCEES exams, and representing an appropriate level of
difficulty, these practice exams can provide additional exam
practice when preparing for the Civil PE Exam.
