Mid-Michigan AIChE
Review for the Principles & Practice Examination
The
local AIChE section has purchased a taped review course for the Principles
& Practice Examination (P.E.), otherwise known as the Professional
Engineers exam. Taught by Dr. Benny
Freeman of North Carolina State University, the course provides a good review
for candidates preparing to take the exam.
Most of the topics that would be expected to appear on the P.E. exam are
reviewed in the tapes.
The
local section plans to sponsor a review session using this taped course. The planned timing is February – March
2004. Anyone interested should contact Brett
Birchmeier (bbirchmeier@dow.com). The specific dates and times for the course
will be determined based on participants’ interest. There are about 15 hours of taped instruction, and the group may
choose to have further discussion / reviews of specific topics. The fee will be $100 for AIChE members, $150
for non-members.
Test dates for the 2004 exam are April 16 and October 29. More information on the exams and licensure may be found on www.ncees.org. Exam specifications for the P.E. examination as provided by online at can be found at www.ncees.org or at www.mmaiche.org.
Information
specific to examination in the State of Michigan can be found at the subsite http://www.els-examreg.org/michigan.php. There are strict
application and registration deadlines for each section of the two-part exam. Registration often must be completed about
two months prior to the exam date, and there is an additional required step of
getting state board approval to take the exam.
Registration dates for the April 2004 examination have just been
announced as March 1.
The
Mid-Michigan Section does not have review materials for the “F.E.”, or
fundamentals of engineering (also known as the EIT), exam. Both the P.E. and F.E. exams are required
for licensure, but passing a Fundamentals Exam is the first step toward
licensure. Please visit www.ncees.org/exams/fundamentals/ for
more information.
For
those who are interested in pursuing a professional engineering license in
chemical engineering and do not wish to participate in the course with other
individuals, the Mid-Michigan Section does offer review materials for a rental
fee on an as-needed basis. The rental
cost of the full videotape course for AIChE members is $150, non-members
$200. Several years ago, these tapes
were purchased by our Section for $1200 and are still very current. We use this small fee to recoup our original
investment in these videotapes, to provide study guides, and to finance the
purchase of future videotapes. Study
materials from the NCEES in the form of sample questions and practice tests are
available for $40 and can be purchased at http://www.ncees.org/exams/study_materials/. The Engineer-In-Training Reference Manual
(Engineering Reference Manual Series) by Michael R.
Lindeburg is available from Amazon.com for $105 when purchased with the
solution manual. The Executive
Committee believes our price for the videotapes and study material program is
an excellent value at $150.
