Course content

6 sections • 18 lectures • 1h 7m total length

Understanding the FE Civil Exam Structure5:11
Explore the civil FE exam structure, a computer-based test with 110 multiple-choice questions. Estimate passing with scaled scoring, typically around 60–70%, and expect results in 7–10 days.

Probability basics4:32
Explore probability basics and how civil engineers assess risk and reliability using distributions, central tendency, variance, standard deviation, and expected value, with practical insight into regression, hypothesis testing, and sampling.
Algebra, Trigonometry, and Complex Numbers4:20
Calculus and Analytical Geometry3:57
Explore the time value of money, present value, future value, and cash flow diagrams to guide civil engineering project decisions via cost-benefit analysis, BCR, and IRR.
Probability and Statistics3:53

Ethics and Professional Practice3:32
Explore kinematics, including displacement, velocity, and acceleration, to describe motion over time. Apply Newton's laws, work, energy, momentum, and impulse to analyze forces and system behavior.
Engineering Economics1:12
Explore steel properties used in construction and examine the mechanical behavior of materials, including stress, strain, the modulus of elasticity, and ultimate strength, plus how to determine energy absorption.
Statics Fundamentals4:04
Explore beams and columns as elements and how forces like shear and bending moment shape load paths. Grasp stress, strain, moment of inertia, and section modulus for the FE exam.
Dynamics and Kinematics3:46
Classify soils using the Unified Soil Classification System, analyze consolidation and bearing capacity, and assess slope stability for safe foundation design.

Materials – Properties and Testing3:55
Explore traffic flow concepts, including flow, speed, and density, and how they interact to influence land width and speed limits. Examine road geometric design, signal timing, and pavement materials.
Structural Analysis and Mechanics of Materials3:49
Geotechnical Engineering Concepts4:02
Transportation Engineering Basics3:40
Apply the critical path method to identify the project duration, critical tasks, and float, while exploring estimating steps and safety concepts like PPE and OSHA across delivery methods.
Environmental Engineering Essentials4:01
Master the basics of SI and US customary units, learn reliable unit conversion and dimensional analysis between systems, and perform dimensional consistency checks to catch errors.
Water Resources Engineering4:06
Identify error types: systematic, random, and gross, and learn to reduce, account for, or recognize errors while interpreting accuracy, precision, and uncertainty for the FE exam.
Construction Engineering and Project Management3:29
