Course Teaching Methods
The course is team taught, with a different instructor per meeting time. Some instructors may teach multiple sessions, and some sessions may be taught by multiple instructors.
Instructors vary in their approach. The majority spend time reviewing concepts analogous to an end of course review session on the particular topic of the week, focusing on topics requested by students, followed by problem solving examples. Some instructors incorporate exam taking strategies.
Student Requirements:
The review manual (required class textbook) is used by students as a reference. Students are expected to have taken coursework in each of the topics, as the sessions are intended to review the material.
Textbook & Review Manual
You should purchase Michael Lindeburg’s review manual for the exam that you plan on taking (Civil Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or Other Disciplines test). Available at https://ppi2pass.com/, Amazon, Barnes and Noble etc.
You should also obtain the NCEES FE Reference Handbook.
