Somehow I agreed to lead a review session for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam, electrical engineering specialization. The lesson I learned from that experience is teaching is not as easy as it seems. This is an examination that is administered by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES). The purpose of the FE exam is to be the first step on track to a Professioanl Engineer (PE) certification, also from the same agency. The PE certification then allows the holder to approve engineering designs that may require safe operation. Here is some basic study material for those who are trying to cram it in the last few weeks remaining before the October test date, or those who are looking to prepare for later. Looking over the benefits and my desire to get into the biomedical field, I am now thinking about taking the FE exam in the Spring, so hopefully I can study better than I can teach.
