Description
This is a portion of a full course on the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam that I am currently developing. This portion is free and hopefully, you will find it useful. The current lectures only cover truss and beam topics including bending and shear forces and stresses. The topics include truss analysis using the method of joints and method of sections, bending and shear diagrams, equilibrium equations and the corresponding stresses.
I share the fundamentals of solving structural problems as well as some tricks to solve multiple choice questions without actually solving the entire problem. The rest of the lectures on the PE exam will be released at a later date if there are a few people who think they are helpful.
I passed the PE Civil Structural exam in 2018 on my first try while I was working as a structural engineer and doing my Ph.D. I would like to share some of my thoughts on important concepts as well as skills for writing exams. I will continue to make more videos if you find these helpful. If you have any suggestions or would be interested in taking the full course on PE Civil structural exam, please leave a comment or contact me directly.
