Frequently Asked Questions

Does this book include the Reference Handbook? +
No — the NCEES FE Reference Handbook is available free from NCEES.org and is provided electronically during your exam. This study guide teaches you how to use the handbook effectively and covers the content you'll need to apply from it on exam day.
Is this book only for civil engineering students? +
This guide is specifically for the FE Civil exam. Engineers pursuing other FE disciplines (mechanical, electrical, etc.) should use the corresponding discipline-specific guide. The FE Civil is the most widely taken FE exam.
