I should have given more thought to the previous review! Talk about a big disappointment in the number of examples actually presented in this book. Very few problems have actually been solved and even these are quite too simple. I was expecting a book that would really help me prepare for the civil discipline specific portion of the EIT exam. Unfortunately this book only skims the top of major topics and does not go into any sort of detail whatsoever. The book itself is not much thicker than an average National Geographic. My suggestion would be to leave this book alone and study from reference text books.

I was looking for a more comprehensive coverage like Michael R. Lindeburg reference manual for the topics mentioned in the civil review, especially for a person who has been out of school for sometime.More subject matter is required for the topics mentioned rather than just having some typical problems solved as it is done in the book for each topic!!

This review is from: Civil Discipline Specific Review for the FE/EIT Exam (Paperback)
The book has two test and one practice test. The area this book covers are: Surveying, Hydraulics & Hydrology, Soils & Foundation, Env. Engg., Transportation, Structural Analysis & Design, Construction Management, and Materials. The practice exams are not that difficult but agian book is just to get you familiar with what kinds of question one can expect in the FE Civil part.
