Calculating the Velocity of a Falling Ball | FE Exam Prep

May 19, 2022 by Anthony Fasano, P.E. Leave a Comment

In this article, (and video above), we calculate the velocity of a falling ball. A question on this topic would typically be found in the Dynamics section of the FE Exam and therefore will give you a better understanding of what you can expect during the exam. This week’s problem was created and solved by Enrique Ivers, an Engineer in Training.

Question:

The velocity (in m/s) of a falling ball is described by the equation:

What is the acceleration at time t=2s?

Solution:

Steps to Take When You Pass the FE Exam

February 8, 2022 by Anthony Fasano, P.E. Leave a Comment

In this article, (and video above), I explain all the steps you need to take right after you pass your NCEES Fundamentals of Engineering exam to make the most of your achievement. 

Here Is What You Will Need to do After Passing the FE Exam:

  • You will need to send your transcript to the state board where you want certification, and then wait to receive your EIT certificate in the mail.  Here are some things we recommend you do once you receive your EIT certificate.
  • Place these credentials after your name wherever you can.  For example, add EIT after your name on your LinkedIn profile.  This is important because it shows potential employers that you are on track to receive your engineering license.
  • While it may be too early to start studying for the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam, it’s not too early to create an experience log and keep it up to date between now and when you take the PE exam, logging all of your experience. This is critically important, because when you go to apply for the PE exam, they will ask for a list of all of your experience which will include the projects and tasks that you worked on and which professional engineers you worked under.  These professional engineers will need to sign the application for you.  Too many engineers wait to try to prepare this list when they are applying for the exam and they forget all of the details of what projects they worked on. 
  • Last but now least, you must gain engineering work experience as soon as possible.  Get out there in the field and start working as soon as you can to build up your experience which will help you to be able to sit for the PE exam sooner in most states.

The FE Exam Passing Score Is…

March 9, 2021 by Anthony Fasano, P.E. 1 Comment

 

In this week’s Pass the FE Exam article (and video above), I discuss what FE Exam passing score you will need to achieve to pass the FE Exam. 

Firstly, you should know that there is no set number of problems or specific quantitative scores that we can cite as the passing score for the FE Exam, it doesn’t exist.

The exam is scored on a pass or fail scale and NCEES, the organization that administers the exam, does not provide an exact score needed to pass. NCEES has used a term “scaled score” in the past, which is confusing

Angle of Rotation Problem (Practice and Solution)

January 26, 2021 by Anthony Fasano, P.E. Leave a Comment

Angle of rotation problems can come up in several NCEES FE Exams: Civil, Mechanical, and Other Disciplines. In mathematics, the angle of rotation is a measurement of the amount, of namely angle, that a figure is rotated about a fixed point, often the center of a circle. 

A clockwise rotation is considered a negative rotation, so that, for instance, a rotation of 310 degrees (counter clockwise) can also be called a rotation of negative 50° (since 310 degrees + 50 degrees = 360 degrees, a full rotation ( or turn)). 

A counter clockwise rotation of more than one complete turn is normally measured modjulo 360 degrees, meaning that 360 degrees is subtracted off as many times as possible to leave a non-negative measurement less than 360 degrees. 

Before I move ahead, let me remind you that the FE EXAM or fundamentals of engineering – is the first step to getting your professional engineering license, and through the videos on this channel, including this one, you will learn not only how to properly prepare for the exam, but how to ensure you PASS THE FE EXAM!

Preparing for Conceptual Questions: FE Exam
