Description:
This program is designed for exam candidates who want to pass the fundamentals of engineering exam offered by APEGGA, APEGBC and NCEES. Conditions and regulations of the exam could be found on these associations web sites.
The FE exam is 8 hours in length: a four hour morning session and a four hour afternoon session. This workshop is been designed to train on how to answer both sessions the morning and the after noon in three streams: Civil Engineering, electrical Engineering a a and Mechanical Engineering. More streams would be considered upon request. The morning session consists of general questions that all candidates answer. The afternoon session is discipline specific where the candidate is allowed to pick the discipline to complete (including a general category).
