PE Review Course
JANUARY 23^rd, 2010 – APRIL 10^th, 2010
IN PREPARATION FOR APRIL EXAM

The North Texas Section of ASME will offer a Review Course for the Principles and Practices of Engineering Exam (or PE Exam) in preparation for the April 2010 exam.  Jeff Hanson of Texas Instruments, Inc. will facilitate the course this year. The review course provides an excellent structure and discussion group to assist in your preparation for the exam.

The Mechanical Engineering Department at SMU has graciously offered the use of a classroom.  Classes will be conducted on 10 Saturday mornings each lasting 4 hours. The first class is targeted to start on January 23rd.  The course will continue up to the exam, which will permit time for the Easter and Spring Break holidays.

You may also wish to take this review course now even if you plan to take the October 2010 exam.  NTS will not be offering a review course in the fall for the October 2010 exam.  If you are interested in taking the course, please reply to Jeff Hanson ( hanson@ti.com ).

If you have not already done so, you need to contact the Texas Board of Professional Engineers (http://www.tbpe.state.tx.us).  The site has information on applying for registration and applying for the exam.  The deadline to submit your application to the state board is December 11th, 2009 for the April 16, 2010 exam. In addition, the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) has useful information regarding passing rates, exam content, and important dates.  The NCEES can be contact at: http://www.ncees.org/

The course fee will be $450 and covers the cost of the materials, manual and practice problem manual. The cost will be $300 if you already have the book and solution manual. Net proceeds from the course go toward NTS scholarships for ME students at local engineering schools.

The course will be taught using the current edition of Lindeburg’s Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual for the PE Exam (11th and 12^th Editions) and will consist of 10 subject modules.  Each is a stand-alone training module and will be taught in a sequence similar to that shown below.
 

Note:  If you need the Fundamentals Exam (EIT), please contact the Mechanical Engineering Department at SMU to determine the availability of a review course for that exam.
