Registration as a Professional Engineer is achieved by passing an Engineering Fundamentals Engineer-In training examination, followed by an exam in a specific branch of engineering. The first examination is a test of the applicant's knowledge of fundamentals of engineering and science. About 45,000 people take this exam each year and about 65% pass it. The second or professional engineering examination is a test of the applicant's ability to apply engineering principles and judgement to professional problems. Here we are concerned exclusively with the Engineer-In-Training. A single national exam, prepared by the National Council of Engineering Examiners, is used in all 50 states. The examination consists of two four-hour sessions. The morning session contains 140 multiple choice questions. There are five choices from which to select the cor- rect answer for each question. The questions are bunched by topic. All 140 questions are required. The topics and approximate number of questions are: Mathematics 17, Statics 12, Dynamics 17, Mechanics of Materials 12, Materials Science 6, Fluid Mechanics 14, Thermodynamics 14, Electrical Circuits 18, Engineering Economics 6, Chemistry 10, Structure of Matter 6, and Computer Programming 8. One must carefully pace their time in the morning, for an average of only 1.7 minutes per question may permit understanding the questions, but allows very little time for computation, and permits essentially no time to consult reference materials. One strategy used by many applicants is to rapidly work through the entire group of questions, answering the easy, fast ones, then to return to the more demanding questions in areas of personal competence. Finally, to guess as necessary to complete the questions. Contents in 13 Chapters: Mathematics, Statics, Dynamics, Mechanics of Materials, Materials Science, Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Electrical Circuits, Electronics and Electrical Machinery, Chemistry, Structure of Matter, Computer Programming, and Engineering Economics.
