Engineering Review Program

(Available at our Northern Virginia Center)

Our Engineering Review Courses have provided thousands of engineers with the necessary review and preparation for successful completion of the national certification examinations in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC.

These non-credit review classes emphasize the solution of practical problems and testing strategies.
Three-hour sessions meet once a week for 10 weeks, and are scheduled twice a year to coincide with the fall/spring exam.

Professional examinations are scheduled each year in April and October. Engineers are encouraged to contact their state board as soon as possible for an application if planning to take the next certification examination.

The following courses are offered:

NCPR 001 Fundamentals of Engineering Review Saturdays, August 8- October 10, 9am-noon $550 Prepare for the EIT examination. This course will prepare each participant for the morning and afternoon section of the general exam by reviewing: ethics, mathematics, economics, mechanics and electricity. Chemistry is also covered but independent work is required. Independent work will also be required on the subject of computers. Textbooks are required at the first class meeting. NCPR 101 Civil Engineering Review Tuesdays, August 4-October 6, 6:30-9:30pm OR Thursdays, August 6 –October 8, 6:30-9:30 pm $645 Master the topics covered in the PE examination. The problems used in this course foucs on current PE exam content. Topics focus on hydraulics, hydrology, water quality, sanitation, soils/foundation engineering, structures, reinforced concrete, highway materials and design, highway geometric considerations, construction, and engineering economics. Textbooks required at first class meeting. Tuition includes fee for class notes. NCPR 102 Electrical Engineering Review Wednesdays, August 5-October 7, 6:30-9:30pm $645 Gain the practical knowledge and insight into the theory to help you improve performance and prepare for the Professional Engineering (PE) exam) Topics include circuit analysis concepts and signal wave forms; power measurements and power fact corrections; DC and AC machines and transformers; transmission lines, power systems, amplifiers, feedback circuits, and control systems; non-linear and switching circuits, digital logic and computers; and engineering economics. Textbooks required at first class meeting. Tuition includes fee for class notes. NCPR 103 Mechanical Engineering Review Thursdays, August 6-October 8, 6:30-9:30pm $645 Prepare for the Professional Engineering (PE) exam. Learn to identify and solve practical problems in these topics: heating, ventilating and air conditioning, fluid static’s and dynamics, hydraulic machines, fans, thermodynamics, power cycles, compressible fluid dynamics, combustion, heat transfer, mechanics of materials, machine design, dynamics, vibrations, engineering economics. Related problems from other disciplines are reviewed. Textbooks required at first class meeting. Tuition includes fee for class notes.
