AR Features In Our Book
These features enhance the learning experience and memory recognition.
Readers need a mobile device (iOS or Android)—a phone or tablet—to view the AR content. In addition, they must install the free TotalAR app. (Instructions for downloading the app are available in the book.)
Using this app, readers can scan predefined images and special codes while reading the book to perform different types of activities:
- Flash Cards – Each chapter contains a flash cards target. When the target is scanned, readers will be able to view flash cards associated with that chapter in order to learn terminology and prepare better for the exam.
- Quizzes – A quiz target also appears in each chapter. When that target is scanned, readers can take a quiz associated with that chapter to test their knowledge of the material.
- Errata List – When a predefined target is scanned, readers can see the latest errata list.
When you purchase the book, you will have one year of complimentary access to the above AR features. However, there is also premium paid AR content listed below, which is available via monthly subscription at an additional cost:
- Video Lectures – Each chapter contains a video lecture, available through monthly subscriptions. When a target is scanned, readers can view videos where a subject matter expert (SME) explains the chapter content. This should help readers understand the content quicker.
- Ask an Expert – When this target is scanned and a monthly subscription is purchased, the reader will be able to send questions to a relevant subject matter expert to clarify information via email.
- Tutoring – Scanning these targets and purchasing a tutoring package will allow readers to interact one on one with a tutor, who is also an SME, to learn the material with live interaction.
Everything You Should Know About the PE Structural Exam
The PE Structural Lateral Forces and Vertical Forces exams test for competency within civil and structural engineering. They are designed for engineers who have passed their FE exam and gained a minimum of four years of engineering experience. These two exams are one of the last steps before earning your professional structural engineering license.
Prerequisites
Before you are allowed to take the PE Structural exams, you will need to meet several requirements specified by NCEES. Because states’ requirements all vary, we suggest checking with your state board.
Exam Fees
The cost of the PE Structural exams vary by state. Please check this map to see exam-specific information, requirements, and fees.
Exam Day
These exams vary in time length and number of questions and are made up of both multiple-choice questions and alternative item types (AITs). On the day of the exam, you will be given a virtual version of the NCEES PE Reference Handbook for your selected discipline. You will also have access to a digital calculator and onscreen whiteboard. A free copy of this handbook is available for download through your MyNCEES account. You can also download the free NCEES Examinee Guide to learn more about what to expect on the day of the FE exam.
After the Exam
Pencil-and-paper exam results are generally released to the licensing boards 10-12 weeks after you take your exam. Depending on your state, you will either be notified with your exam results online through your NCEES account or with a letter from your state board.
