Course Description
This course in the fundamentals of science and engineering is designed to help those persons planning to take the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination (formerly the EIT Exam). This course is tailored for the "General" option of the FE exam. For those students desiring a discipline-specific review, six additional hours of instruction will be offered in the disciplines of electrical and mechanical engineering, if there is sufficient demand. You must be enrolled in this course prior to taking the discipline-specific review.
The course is taught in the form of a general review, with emphasis on the most essential theories and methods. The course material is not limited to the subject matter covered by the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination.
The class meets on the Georgia Tech campus on Monday and Wednesday evenings. Each class is held from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. For review purposes, students will also be allowed access to an online version of a previously delivered course.
Course Topics
The following subjects are reviewed:
- Chemistry–general inorganic
- Dynamics
- Electrical Theory
- Engineering Economy
- Fluid Mechanics
- Materials Science
- Mathematics–algebra through calculus
- Mechanics–strength of materials
- Physics–mechanics
- Statics
- Thermodynamics–heat power

- If using Screen-Reader software: JAWS (v4.02 or greater recommended) or WindowEyes (v4.21 or greater)
Video Teleconferencing
Since people throughout the state are working towards the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, Georgia Tech would like to offer the Fundamentals of Engineering course over the Georgia Statewide Academic and Medical System (GSAMS) two-way audio/two-way video teleconferencing system. The course will actually be conducted on the Georgia Tech campus in Atlanta, but can be simultaneously broadcast to GSAMS sites throughout Georgia.If you are interested in this option and there is sufficient interest in your area, we will make every effort to set up a location near you. Please send your name, address, phone and fax number to the following:
