PE Exam Study Guide II for the Computer Engineering[edit]
Study guide for the NCEES Computer Engineering PE Exam[edit]
- This is a Study Guide for the NCEES Computer Engineering PE Principles and Practice of Engineering Examination. If you know all of the information in this Wiki Book and you have a solid background in computer circuits, then you stand a good chance to pass the CE PE Exam. I strongly suggest that you review ALL of the listed Wikipedia Pages before taking the CE PE Exam. I passed the exam on the first try with this study guide -- I printed it 4-up (4 paged to one sheet of paper in a 3 ring binder). You should also have the materials available from an organization like ppi2pass.com (EE reference, approved calculator, NCEES CE PE Sample Questions). Do not be afraid to take all of the reference materials you want -- that is what everyone else will do.
- Thanks to Ryan Boyle for creating a first pass at this book -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ryanboyle2009/Books/PE. That was the inspiration for this much larger WikiBook. Kudos to Ryan!
- Note
- This WikiBook will not render due to small bugs in a couple of pages that need repairing. Please contact https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Clemenzi if you need to print it out and I will tell you what I know. If you try and it does render, then please edit out this line.
