The collection of formulas, tables, and data serves as the single permitted resource during the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. It provides a readily accessible compilation of information relevant to various engineering disciplines covered on the examination. For instance, examinees can find equations for fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, electrical circuits, and other subject areas within this resource.
Its importance stems from its role in standardizing the information available to all examinees, ensuring a level playing field. It eliminates the need for test-takers to memorize an extensive list of formulas, allowing them to focus on applying engineering principles to problem-solving. Historically, the availability of such a reference tool has significantly influenced the exam’s structure and the preparation strategies employed by candidates.
