The SIUE chapter of Chi Epsilon is providing FE review sessions in Fall 2012 in the Engineering Building at SIUE. They will run from early September through late October in the afternoons and evenings. The exam is set for October 27th and as planned, roughly ten weeks of review will be held. Tentative topics to be covered are Chemistry, Electrical Circuits, Statics, Dynamics, Mechanics of Solids, Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Mathematics and Statistics; and introductory topics in the fields of Transportation, Structural, Environmental, and Geotechnical Engineering. The review sessions are taught by the SIUE faculty members and have helped many past students and professionals pass the FE exam. The cost for non-SIUE students is only $10 per session, which will be collected at the beginning of each review session (make your check payable to “Chi Epsilon”). For the updated schedule of review sessions, please re-visit this website or contact Brad Walwer at bwalwer@siue.edu.
FE review manuals and study materials can be purchased at a discount price by using the SIUE Chi Epsilon/PPI partnership website at www.ppipartner.com/KC637
