1.0 out of 5 stars
Terrible and Full of Mistakes,
By
This review is from: How to Prepare for the FE/EIT Exam: Fundamentals of Engineering (Barron's Fe: Fundamentals of Engineering Exam) (Paperback)
I bought this text thinking it would be a succinct and useful review of the core fundamentals of engineering--it is anything but that.
It appears that nobody bothered to proofread this text before printing it, as it is full of errors ranging from misnumbered or completely missing equations and references to problem solutions solved using different values than those provided in the problem statement or that are just fundamentally wrong. The dynamics section and circuits section are the worst I have encountered so far, but I expect to find more mistakes before I finish looking through the text. Having prepared for several standardized tests in the last two years, I can say with certainty that this is the worst review text I have ever purchased. Do not buy this book unless you like to be confused and irritated or like to correct someone else's mistakes.

Don't waste your time...,

This review is from: How to Prepare for the FE/EIT Exam: Fundamentals of Engineering (Barron's Fe: Fundamentals of Engineering Exam) (Paperback)
I bought this book thinking it would give me a good idea of the EIT exam. I read through it and looked at the examples and worked the problems - and found quite a few mistakes (confirmed by fellow engineers who also bought and used this book). As it turns out, the exam is simple anyway - its hardly worth the time to "review" for it. There may be other books out there that are helpful, but this isn't one of them...good luck with your exam!

1.0 out of 5 stars
Full of typographical errors and poorly presented problems.,
By A.J. (Brunswick, ME) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Prepare for the FE/EIT Exam: Fundamentals of Engineering (Barron's Fe: Fundamentals of Engineering Exam) (Paperback)
Although this review book provides a good coverage of the topics for the EIT, it has been poorly edited and contains numerous errors in the sample problems. It will leave you second guessing your correct answers due to typographical errors throughout the solutions to practice problems. Another draw back to this book is its lack of standard conventions and equations that are provided in the Supplied Reference Handbook that you will use for the exam. This will lead you to memorize unneccesary equations and methods for problem solving. DO NOT BUY
