Passing the FE Exam is your first step to becoming a professional engineer and kickstarting your career. While you will be able to use the NCEES handbook as a reference during the exam, you still need to be prepared and familiar with the information as you would any other big assessment. Taking an exam prep helps solidify your knowledge and increases your chances of passing the exam.
This refresher course is taught by world-class UT engineering faculty. Students can work through problems with instructors and ask questions as needed, which is not typically provided by other prep courses. This refresher course is broken into digestible sections to help optimize students' retention and absorption of the review material. This course also gives students the flexibility to pick and choose which sessions to attend, allowing students to focus on what areas they need to focus on while still receiving information for all sections of the exam. All sessions are recorded and are made available to students for later viewing, allowing them to refer back to the test prep while studying individually.
