Assistant Dean and Director: PE Exam Review
Prepare for the October 24, 2008 Exam
PE review courses are offered twice a year, corresponding to the spring and fall exams. These review courses (19 sessions each) are designed to help the engineer prepare for the Principles and Practices of Engineering Examination, to provide a general refresher in a given field, and to present an introduction to other engineering fields. Taught by University of Delaware engineering faculty and engineers from industry, the review courses are offered in chemical, civil, electrical, environmental‡, and mechanical engineering.‡
"John Richards has an extraordinary depth of knowledge in every aspect of chemical engineering. He is also very approachable and explains the material extremely well."
Registration Due Date: April 30, 2008
(Seating is still available for the Civil Engineering PE Review, so contact us right away!)
"I passed the P.E. and wanted to thank [the civil engineering instructors]. ... It [the review course] was definitely helpful ... "

**The only "textbook" for the PE review courses in chemical, electrical, and mechanical engineering consists of a (very large!!) notebook of instructor-prepared materials. For the environmental engineering PE review course, the notebook of instructor-prepared materials is essential along with the Lindeburg textbook (see below). Therefore, those registering for any of these review courses should include the $90 for the notebook in their registration costs.
The only textbook for the civil engineering PE review course is the latest (11th) edition of Lindeburg's Civil Engineering Reference Manual that can be purchased at a 15% discount on-line at http://www.ppipartner.com/DT685
The 19-session (57 hours total) video or cd-rom review courses for environmental
and mechanical engineering can be shipped to you upon receipt of your registration,
pending availability of materials.

"I just wanted to let you know that because of your Environmental Engineering PE Review CD-Rom course, I passed my Environmental PE exam. Many questions were exactly like the ones Ravi and Paul went over on the CDs and assigned. I really do believe that the PE Review Course is the only reason I passed and the CDs were great!! ... Ravi and Paul, they did a great job!!"
