1) Paperback Book Engineer-in-Training License Review, 15th ed by Oxford University Press, USA. As others have mentioned below, this book is so full of errors that I can´t believe it was ever edited. The problems are often incompletely stated, and the solutions skip steps so they are difficult if not impossible to follow. The text itself appears to have just come unedited from someone´s word processor. I was very disappointed. There are much better books out there for the FE exam (like the Lindeberg books.) It´s hard to imagine how this one survived to a 15th edition.¤

2) Paperback Book Engineer-in-Training License Review, 15th ed by Oxford University Press, USA. I am very disappointed with the sample problems and exercises in this review manual. While the simple solutions are explained in insulting depth, the tougher questions are hardly explained at all - almost as if the editor was gesticulating "let´s just forget about this one and move on." In working example questions, only after checking equations in other sources did I finally determine that this book was in error. What clinched it for me was finding that the answer listed for question 71 of the sample exam is (E) - The choices are (A) thru (D)! Do not waste time or money on this review material.¤

3) Paperback Book Engineer-in-Training License Review, 15th ed by Oxford University Press, USA. Thorough review, but topics do not always follow in logical progression -- chemistry and thermo chapters could be ordered better. Errors in the review questions are really frustrating. I wasted lots of time trying to find how I lost a decimal place, only to find the author did instead. Area and volume terms get mixed in the fluids section. etc¤

4) Paperback Book Engineer-in-Training License Review, 15th ed by Oxford University Press, USA. I have found this book to be extremely full of errors, and would not recommend it to anyone who is preparing for the EIT test. After the first several chapters, my confidence in the book deteriorated to the point where I had to buy a different EIT review book. Avoid this one at all costs.

(For an example of blatant errors, see the Thermodynamics chapter Rankine and VCR cycle problems)¤

5) Paperback Book Engineer-in-Training License Review, 15th ed by Oxford University Press, USA. The purpose of these EIT training books is not to teach you the material...obviously. This book does a great job preparing you for this 8 hour exam. Sample questions, sample exam...all worth its weight in gold.¤

6) Paperback Book Engineer-in-Training License Review, 15th ed by Oxford University Press, USA. This is a new book written specifically for the closed-book EIT/FE exam. Ten professors have combined their efforts so that each chapter is written by an expert in his field. These include textbook authors Lawrence H. Van Vlack (Elements of Materials Science and Engineering), Charles Smith (Statics, Dynamics, More Dynamics) and Donald Newnan (Engineering Economic Analysis).

The introduction describes the exam, its structure, exam-day strategies, exam scoring, and passing rate statistics. The exam topics covered in subsequent chapters are Mathematics, Statics, Dynamics, Mechanics of Materials, Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Electric Circuits, Materials Engineering, Chemistry, Computers, Ethics and Engineering Economy. The topics carefully match the structure of the closed-book exam and the notation of the Fundamentals of Engineering Reference Handbook. Each topic is presented along with example problems to illustrate the technical presentation. Multiple-choice practice problems with detailed solutions are at the end of each chapter.

The book includes a complete eight-hour EIT/FE Sample Exam, with 120 multiple-choice morning problems and 60 multiple-choice general afternoon problems. Following the sample exam, complete step-by-step solutions are given for each of the 180 problems.¤
