The review course for Part A consists of 108 hours of study of basic theory and solution of typical problems in engineering fun-damentals taken from previous examinations and described indetail as follows:
Dynamics—Kinematics and kinetics; impulse, impact and momentum; work-energy of particles and rigid bodies; relativemotion, including Coriolis acceleration; conservation of energyand conservation of momentum; Newton’s Laws.
Mechanics of Materials—Shear and moment diagrams; stressand strain; basic theory of elastic and inelastic flexure and buck-ling; design of beams and columns, torsion of circular members,structural deflections, indeterminate problems in tension andcompression.
Electrical Theory—AC and DC circuits; network theorems andtechniques, transformers, diode applications, capacitance andinductance, operational amplifiers, electrical and magnetic fields.
Engineering Economics—Annual cost, break-even analysis, ben-efit cost analysis, future worth or value, present worth, risk analy-sis, rate-of-return analysis, tax considerations, valuation and de-preciation, accelerated cost recovery systems, double decliningbalance method.
Thermodynamics—Properties, First and Second Law analysis, gasand vapor cycles, chemical reactions, flow processes, mixtures ofgases, heat transfer.
Chemistry—Fundamentals of chemistry, properties of the com-moner elements and their compounds, rate of reaction andchemical equilibrium, solutions and colloids, oxidation and reduc-tion.
Mathematics—Analytic geometry, differential and integral calcu-lus, differential equations, linear algebra, Laplace transforms,probability and statistics, vector analysis.
Statics—Force, moment, determination of resultants; equilib-rium—free body diagram—determination of reactions; conditionsof stability and equilibrium; controids and moments of inertia;stress resultants; analysis of simple trusses; friction.
Fluid Mechanics—Kinematics and dynamics of fluid flow, hydro-statics, similitude and dimensional analysis.
Materials Science • Structure of Matter • Examination Skills•Ethics • Computers
Videotapes on engineering fundamentals are available for registrants to supplement lectures.
P.E. PART B: PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE(15 sessions)To reflect recent changes in the New York state engineering exami-nations, which limit the candidate to choose problems from onlyone major field of engineering, the following three courses devotedto Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering will be offered. Eachcourse consists of 56 hours of study devoted to the specialty areaand 4 hours to engineering economics as hereinafter described.
With the introduction of the “breadth” and “depth”multiple choice examinations, each registrant is advisedthat each of the Part B engineering specialty coursesprepares the engineer only for the morning “breadth”examination. Additional individual study and prepara-tion is required of each registrant to prepare for theafternoon “depth” examination.
Engineering Economics—A review of the following topics: dis-crete and continuous compound interest; comparison of simpleand complex alternate proposals, including replacement deci-sions, by means of rate-of-return, present worth and annual costcomparisons; income tax considerations; comparison of depreci-ation methodology; minimum cost and break-even analysis; andhandling risk by statistical means.
P.E. B CIVIL ENGINEERING—6.O C.E.U.Course Code E1021-01—$955A review devoted to design of beams and columns; analysis of sta-tically indeterminate structures; reinforced concrete design; hy-draulics—fluid flow in pipes and open channels; transportationand highway engineering; environmental engineering—watersupply and waste water treatment; and miscellaneous topics insoils and foundations. Latest A.I.S.C., A.C.I. and N.D.S. specifica-tions used throughout course.
Videotapes on civil engineering are available for registrants tosupplement lectures.
P.E. B ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING—6.O C.E.U.Course Code E1031-01—$955A review devoted to DC, AC and three-phase circuit analysis;diodes and transistors; amplifiers and oscillators; filters; transientanalysis; transmission lines and the Smith chart; AC and DC machinery; control systems; digital and analog computer circuitsand systems; communication systems; power systems.
P.E.B MECHANICAL ENGINEERING—6.O C.E.U.Course Code E1041-01—$955A review devoted to heat transfer; power plants; air conditioning andrefrigeration; gas dynamics and propulsion; machine design; vibra-tions; pressure vessels and miscellaneous topics in mechanical design,energy and control systems, and thermal and fluid processes.
A knowledge of basic principles on the part of the studentis assumed in each of the Part B—Principles and Practiceof Engineering, and the preceding distribution of hoursinto specific specialties should be considered tentative.

RECENT CHANGES IN PROFESSIONALENGINEERING EXAMINATIONSIn 1970 the New York State Board of Examiners of ProfessionalEngineers and Land Surveyors adopted the Uniform Examinations ofthe National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying(NCEES). The examinations will be given October 28 and 29, 2005,and April 21 and 22, 2006, to conform to the schedule of the NCEES.Part A, constituting the intern engineer portion of the examination, isdivided into two 4-hour sessions devoted to engineering fundamen-tals. The morning session of Part A is a multiple choice examination onmathematics, chemistry, statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials,fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, electrical circuits, engineering eco-nomics, materials science, structure of matter, computers and ethics.The afternoon portion of the Fundamentals examination is given in sixengineering areas: general, chemical, civil, industrial, electricaland mechanical. The review course at Hofstra is specificallytailored to only the general exam and covers exactly thesame subject areas as the morning session, to avoid studyingand preparing for two examination areas. Part B consists of two4-hour sessions on principles and practices of engineering in each offour major engineering fields: chemical, civil, electrical and mechani-cal. The candidate may answer problems from only one major field.Economics may be included in any problem in any specialty area.While all parts are corrected by NCEES, Part A is currently machine-scored. The only reference material permitted for Part A is supplied tothe candidate on the day of the exam. Although Part B is still openbook, both the morning “breadth” examination and the afternoon“depth” examination are multiple choice and are machine scored.
PURPOSE OF THE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING REVIEW PROGRAMThe primary purpose of this program is to provide an adequatereview and preparation for all parts of the revised ProfessionalEngineer’s licensing examinations. The courses are designed for theUniform Examinations of the National Council of Examiners forEngineering and Surveying (NCEES), recently adopted by the NewYork State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. Thesecourses are available to persons who qualify under New York StateEducation Law requirements to take the April 2006 examinations. Nodegree credit is granted for these courses; however, ContinuingEducation Units (C.E.U.) are given.
THE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERThe “professional engineer,” as defined by recent changes in the NewYork State Education Law, is a person who is licensed to practice engi-neering and defined as performing professional services such as con-sultation, investigation, evaluation, planning, design, or supervisionof construction or operation, in connection with any utilities, struc-tures, buildings, machines, equipment, processes, works, or projects,wherein the safeguarding of life, health and property is concerned orinvolved, when such service or work requires the application of engi-neering principles and data. To practice as a professional engineer,New York state, together with all other states of the Union, requiresa license. It is unlawful for any person to practice or to offer to prac-tice the profession of engineering unless duly licensed. To become
duly licensed, a person is required to pass a two-part series of profes-sional engineering examinations in addition to satisfying engineeringeducation and experience requirements. Passing of Part A qualifies aperson as an intern engineer.
DO YOU QUALIFY?The Part A “Fundamentals of Engineering” examination may be takenafter graduation from an approved engineering degree program. ThePart B “Engineering Specialties” examination may be taken after an addi-tional four years of acceptable engineering experience.
Part A may also be taken if the applicant has completed six years ofengineering education/experience. Twelve years of education/experi-ence are required for Part B. The education/experience credit for eachpart may be satisfied with various combinations of education andexperience. Each calendar year completed in an ABET or equivalentengineering degree program is given two years of education/experi-ence credit to a maximum of eight years, whereas each calendar yearcompleted toward a regionally accredited engineering degree or anABET or equivalent engineering technology degree is also given twoyears’ education/experience credit, but limited to a maximum of sixyears. The filing deadline for the April 21 and 22, 2006, New YorkState Professional Engineering examinations is November 1, 2005.
