FOE101 Fundamentals of Engineering Exam Review (FE)

Program Description/Overview

The purpose of UNC Charlotte's FE Review Program is to help engineers prepare for the N.C. State Board of Registration Fundamentals of Engineering Examination. Classroom lectures are designed to supplement and guide home study. Each session emphasizes step-by-step solutions to problems similar to those on the exam. Therefore, terms, formulas and concepts are explained relative to solving exam problems.

Please note that most, but not all, of the exam topics will be reviewed in class. Additional self-study will be necessary to fully prepare for the exam.

Benefits of this Review Course
Have you forgotten information that you studied several years ago? Did your undergraduate study fail to focus on applications or on solving inter-disciplinary problems? Do you find it hard to get started and stay on schedule when studying on your own?

This review course provides guidance and direction not available in independent study. You'll have the opportunity to network with others in the program who may wish to form study groups. It also helps set a pace that focuses your studying efforts to insure that all areas will be reviewed before the exam.
