Why This Guide Works
Inside the Book:
Ch. 1–2: Fundamentals & Ethics
Core math (geometry, calculus, vectors, statistics) plus professional practice (ethics, liability, licensure, contracts).
Ch. 3–4: Economics & Statics
Engineering economics (time value of money, cost, analyses, uncertainty) and statics (force systems, equilibrium, frames, centroids, inertia, friction).
Ch. 5–6: Dynamics & Materials
Dynamics (kinematics, inertia, force/acceleration, work/energy) and mechanics of materials (diagrams, stresses/strains, deformations, Mohr’s Circle).
Ch. 7–8: Construction Materials & Fluids
Materials (concrete/asphalt mix design, testing/specs, material properties) and fluid mechanics (flow measurement, properties, statics, energy/momentum).
Ch. 9–10: Surveying & Water Resources
Surveying (angles, distances, area/volume, coordinate systems, leveling) and water/environmental (hydrology, hydraulics, pumps, distribution, flood/stormwater, collection, groundwater, quality, treatment).
Ch. 11–12: Structural & Geotech
Structural (analysis/deflection of beams, columns, trusses, buckling, load paths, steel/concrete design) and geotechnical (soil classification, tests, effective stress, retaining stability, shear strength, bearing capacity, foundations, settlement, slope stability, stabilization).
Ch. 13–14: Transportation & Construction
Transportation (geometric design, pavement, traffic theory, control devices, planning) and construction engineering (project administration, operations, controls, estimating, drawing interpretation).
Ch. 15: Exam Simulation
Full-length mock exams with detailed answer explanations.
