FE시험준비 (+ Fundamentals of Engineering)

시험비용이 크기때문에 한번에 붙을수 있도록 준비를 해야 합니다.

FE- ELECTRICAL의 경우 시험과목이 18과목 입니다. 과목마다 출제되는 문제수가 다릅니다.(110문제, 6시간)

출제문항 및 수에 대해서는 FE reference book 맨 뒤에서 확인이 가능합니다. FE reference book은 아래 주소에서 무료로 다운로드가 가능합니다. 현재 "fe-handbook-9-4" 까지 release 되어 있습니다. 항상 최신판을 참고해서 공부해야 합니다. CBT시험에서 참고되는 자료가 최신자료로 되어있기 때문입니다.

계산기를 주의해야 합니다. 메모리기능이 있는 계산기는 안되고, NCEES에서 허용한 계산기만 가능합니다.

저는 CASIO FX-115 ES PLUS로 저렴한 제품으로 준비했습니다.

참고서

1. FE review manual : 해당과목만 공부함, 

2. FE / EIT sample examination : 예시문제, 

3. FE reference handbook : 참고자료가 눈에 익어야 합니다. 무료자료

4. NCEES 모의고사 :NCEES에서 팔고있는 자료, 많은 도움이 됨

reference handbook을 참고해서 문제를 풀기때문에 공식을 외우는 수고를 안해도 됩니다. 다만 개념 정리를 충분하게 해야 합니다. FE reference book을 잘 찾아보고 활용해야 합니다. 어떤 공식을 찾아봐야 하는지, 어디쯤 위치하는지 등의 감을 익혀놓아야 시험에서 시간을 줄이수 있습니다.

Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER CBT Exam Specifications

Effective Beginning with the January 2014 Examinations

The FE exam is a computer-based test (CBT). It is closed book with an electronic reference.

Examinees have 6 hours to complete the exam, which contains 110 multiple-choice questions.

The 6-hour time also includes a tutorial and an optional scheduled break.

The FE exam uses both the International System of Units (SI) and the US Customary System (USCS).
