Great Product. Detailed problem solutions and clearly explained concept summaries. Formulas that are included in the official NCEES Reference Manual are highlighted in green so that you know what formulas will be provided for you on test day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Michael Lindeburg is my Hero, October 26, 2010

This review is from: FE Review Manual: Rapid Preparation for the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam (Paperback)

Why bother with a 4 year engineering degree when you have Lindeburg?

I am a law student, and I NEEDED to pass the FE to attain patent bar eligibility. I'd never studied engineering in my life, although I did major in mathematics in undergraduate, which did prove helpful. I picked up Lindeburg's 2nd edition manual, and I dedicated 5 weeks to this book. I was also a full time law student and working part time at an awful firm 20 hours a week. I spend every spare minute with it, flew to Michigan in April, and I passed the FE on my first try.

There's no way I would've passed without this book, and I recommend it to EVERYONE. I actually love it. I am now applying to engineering schools to pursue a masters in electrical engineering because I found this book so inspiring. If you want to pass the FE, buy this book.

This review is from: FE Review Manual: Rapid Preparation for the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam (Paperback)

This book provides an excellent basis from which to study for the FE exam. It doesn't have explicit sections for the individual (afternoon) exams, but most of that information is covered somewhere between the front and back covers. For example, I took the Mechanical exam, and it has Thermodynamics, Dynamics, Fluids, and Material Sciences sections, all of which were covered on the exam.


I have to say that if you are a current student, this book might be more than what you need to study, especially if your university has FE review sessions. However, it would make EXCELLENT and thorough study material for someone that has been out of school for a little while.

Also, make sure that you pick up a copy of the FE provided booklet that you receive on exam day. If you are a student, your college might have some loaner copies, and you can pick them up on Amazon relatively inexpensively. It is very important to have knowledge of the (only) book that you can use during the exam.
