From boud at ele.uri.edu Fri Oct 2 15:41:50 2009 From: boud at ele.uri.edu (G. Faye Boudreaux-Bartels) Date: Fri, 02 Oct 2009 15:41:50 -0400 Subject: [ugrads] ***FE Exam Information for Your Students In-Reply-To: <404F0D08-688A-4BFC-84A1-5E1F873BDD6E@egr.uri.edu> References: <404F0D08-688A-4BFC-84A1-5E1F873BDD6E@egr.uri.edu> Message-ID: <4AC6577E.3080801@ele.uri.edu> The information below from Dean Veyera may be of interest to you. The FE exam is not required as frequently for Electrical or Computer Engineering jobs as it is for Civil and other engineering fields. *************************************************************** FUNDAMENTALS OF ENGINEERING (FE) EXAMINATION NOTE: Information about the FE and PE (Principles and Practice of Engineering) examinations and links to state boards of registration can be found at http://www.ncees.org/. You can also find out about the specific topics covered in the examinations, and also purchase sample exams and solutions. The information shown below has been excerpted from this site for you. In addition, you can also purchase FE (and PE) review manuals on-line. There are many good ones available and they become great handbooks to keep in your library for future reference. WHAT TYPE OF EXAMINATION IS THE FE EXAM? ? National examination given annually across the US in April and October. The FE exam can be taken in any state. WHY TAKE THE FE EXAM? ? To pursue a professional engineering license, you must first pass the Fundamentals (FE) examination. WHEN SHOULD YOU TAKE THE FE EXAM? ? You can take the FE exam at anytime during or after your senior year. ? However, since the FE exam covers material that is pretty fresh in your mind while you are still a student, it is recommended that you take the FE exam during your senior year, or shortly thereafter. WHAT MATERIAL IS COVERED IN THE FE EXAM? ? The FE exam covers subject matter taught in a typical EAC/ABET-accredited BS engineering program. It appropriately covers a comprehensive range of subjects in engineering. (See the NCEES web site for details.) WHAT IS THE FORMAT OF THE FE EXAM? ? The FE exam is 8 hours long, with one 4-hr session in the morning and another 4-hr session in the afternoon. Examinees must participate in both sessions on the same day. Exams is closed book, and reference material is supplied. All questions are multiple choice. ? The FE exam consists of 180 multiple-choice questions. During the morning session, all examinees take a general exam common to all disciplines. During the afternoon session, examinees can opt to take a general exam or a discipline-specific (chemical, civil, electrical, environmental, industrial, or mechanical) exam. AFTER I PASS THE FE EXAM, WHAT'S NEXT? Passing the FE exam is the first step toward engineering licensure. To continue the licensure process: ? Obtain at least 4 years of experience deemed acceptable to your licensing board ? Take the discipline-specific Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam. HOW DO THE FE AND PE EXAMS DIFFER (both are required for professional engineering licensure)? ? FE exam covers subject matter in a typical EAC/ABET-accredited BS engineering curriculum. ? PE exam goes beyond testing academic knowledge; includes required knowledge gained in engineering practice. WHEN IS THE FE EXAM GIVEN? ? The FE exam is given each year in April and October. REGISTERING FOR THE FE EXAM ? Download the application form from the state where you intend to take the FE exam. For Rhode Island, go to: http://www.bdp.state.ri.us/peng/ap/index.html ? Be sure to register for the discipline-specific FE exam for your area of expertise. ? APPLICATION DEADLINE DATE FOR EXAM - Application and all required documentation must be received or postmarked by January 1 for the April examination and by August 1 for the October examination. Applications received after these dates will be considered for the following test administration.

They're interested in a variety of things about you: * How did you manage the transition from high school to URI? * What classes did you take in high school that helped you in engineering? * How small/big are your classes? * Do they need to buy a computer? If so, which one (PC vs Mac) ... * What made you decide to major in Electrical, Computer or Biomedical Engineering? IEP? * Why did you select URI? etc. If you'd like to participate in this important Engineering recruitment event, please send me an email with your name, major(s), and which day(s) you can help out.

The site for the facility is located in the Chakchaken neighborhood of SMI. This trip was coordianted with a The Ixtat?n Foundation which is a local non-governmental organization (NGO) that has worked with the community over the last decades establishing schools and taking up a variety of projects including the promotion of ceramic water filters for for water treatment. The general objective of this trip was to establish a relationship between the people of San Mateo Ixtat?n, the Ixtat?n Foundation, and the University of Rhode Island, as well as determine the feasibility of a wastewater treatment project in the neighborhood. The objectives can be more specifically identified as follows: ? Establish a relationship and specific contacts between URI and the people of SMI. ? Meet with representatives of the Ixtat?n Foundation and Chakchaken to determine their understanding of and interest in wastewater treatment. ? Determine the needs of the community, as perceived by both the community and our group. ? Collect scientific data to determine possible effects of wastewater pollution, as well as geographic data to base a wastewater treatment system design. ? Set up a tentative plan for a return trip and continued interaction between the community and URI. The general and specific objectives of the trip were accomplished. Stable contacts between URI and SMI were set up, both with the Ixtat?n Foundation and community members, to convey information as the project progresses. All participants of the trip attended a community meeting in Chakchaken, and discussed the possibility of a wastewater project. It was determined that the most pressing issue was water supply, as the community, which is growing rapidly, already experiences periodic loss of water pressure in faucets. Three new springs had been found and technical expertise was needed to determine if a distribution system is feasible. A verbal agreement was made that the community would provide assistance to URI for construction of a wastewater treatment system, and URI would help in the design of a distribution system if possible. Work on the water supply system continues, though initial results indicate that using the springs is not a feasible solution. Technical data was taken from several locations along the river into which much of the wastewater is discharged. These data included pH, flow rate (and geometric river cross-section), dissolved oxygen levels, and GPS locations. These data will be used to evaluate the condition of the river and to serve as baseline data against which to compare any future improvements in river quality. Currently, a follow-up trip is being considered for the spring of 2010. In this trip, it is hoped that the final planning steps for a wastewater treatment system can be accomplished, so that the system may be installed during a third trip.

In addition, graduate student TA, Farshid Amlashi, will teach a weekly problem session in ELE 338. If you would like a personal tutor (free) or would like to request a problem review session, please contact Jack Logan via email, john_logan at mail.uri.edu. Jack has volunteered to co-ordinate the scheduling of tutors. He'll need the following information from you: (a) which course(s) are you requesting assistance (313 or 338?), (b) which time slots you're available in a typical week, e.g. Mon. 2-4pm (c) Which type of assistance you would like, e.g. one-on-one tutoring or group problem session, regards, Prof. BB From boud at ele.uri.edu Tue Oct 27 11:41:20 2009 From: boud at ele.uri.edu (G.

Its strength and relative inertness make it useful in several medical applications, but it can still suffer complications of infection, blood clotting and a lack of compatibility with the body. Surface modification of the fiber prompted by established textile processes provides ways to incorporate or link a range of bioactive substances to overcome these problems. The same substances may also be incorporated into polyester solutions that can be electrospun as submicron scale fibers with even more interesting properties. > > I have also attached an updated schedule of the Amgen Seminar Series in > Chemical Engineering which reflects the addition of the Clean Water > Conference being held on November 12^th . > > > > We hope you?ll be able to join us.
