Background
For over two decades, the School of Engineering's Division of Continuing Education has offered engineering license examination review courses. Not only do we offer a course for the fundamentals of engineering (engineering-in-training) exam, but we also offer discipline-specific review courses (Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical) for the professional engineering exam.

In order to hold the title of "Professional Engineer", individuals must take two exams; the FE exam and a discipline-specific examination. Typically, college seniors and recent college grads take the FE exam which is held twice yearly in October and April. Once an individual passes the FE exam, he/she will work as an engineer for a specified period of time (this time varies from discipline to discipline, but it is generally 4-5 years). After this "probation" period has been completed, an individual can sit for the PE exam. For up-to-date information about exams, dates and fees, please click on the "FE/PE Exam Applications, Dates, and Fees" link located on our homepage. Please note that it is your responsibility to register for the exam.

The review courses are designed to help engineers prepare for the FE and PE examinations. The courses provide a comprehensive review of basic and advanced concepts, theories and applications with emphasis on problems. Solving problems and test-taking strategies will be an integral part of the courses. The National Council for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) prepares the FE(EIT) and PE examinations which are administered by each State Board. The national examination is used in all states and territories, including the District of Columbia. We use only the latest review textbooks in all of our courses.

All of our FE/PE courses are taught by professional engineers many of whom have taught for Engineering Continuing Education for more than a decade. Course fees for all engineering continuing education classes include handouts and a parking permit that will allow you to park near your classroom. Students will purchase their textbooks, at a discount, at PPI whose website is located at http://ppipartner.com/XA046. All of our courses meet in the evenings on either the Douglass Campus or Busch Campus of Rutgers University located in New Brunswick/Piscataway, New Jersey. Students who take an EIT/FE or PE course but who do not pass the FE or PE exam can take the course again at no charge provided that seats are available in future classes.

Course Cancellation and Refund Policy
We have minimum registration requirements that must be met in order for a course to be offered. This information is located within the course description section of this website. If we must cancel a course due to low enrollment or other extraordinary circumstances (e.g. lack of instructors), we will notify you immediately as well as refund your money in full.

If you register for a course and cancel your registration before the first day of class, we will refund your tuition in full. You will receive an 80% refund if you drop the course before the second session of the course. No refunds are given if you drop the course thereafter.

Returned Check Policy
If your check is returned to us for non-payment, you must replace that check with a Money Order or Cashier's Check made payable to Rutgers University for the amount of the check plus a $50.00 service fee.

Late Registration Policy
Students who choose to register for our classes after the registration deadline must come to our office with their completed applications and checks for tuition. At that time, they will receive our welcome packet, and a parking pass. Our office is open Mondays to Fridays from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm.

Students may not enroll in a course after the first week of classes.

Weather, Instructor Illness
Sometimes we are forced to cancel a class session due to weather or instructor illness. In the event that this happens, we will contact you by e-mail by 4:00 p.m. on the day of the scheduled class. We will schedule a make-up class. However, due to university space constraints, we may be forced to offer that make-up class on a different evening or even on a Saturday or Sunday (during the day) and in a different classroom location at Rutgers University.

Occasionally, in courses that are taught by multiple instructors (e.g. EIT/FE and Civil), we may be forced to change the order of course topics due to instructor illness or other unforeseen circumstance.
