FE/PE 시작하기 - FE 시험범위

 

2020년 목표 중 하나: 2020년 8월 PE 취득

 - 3월 중 FE 시험응시

 - 8월 중 PE 시험응시

 

얼마 전 국내 EPC에 다니는 친구가 PE를 취득했다는 소식을 들었다. 항상 발전하려고 노력하고, 배움에 대한 갈망도 클 뿐만 아니라 지금 미국 프로젝트에 involve되어 있는 그 친구는 동기부여가 충분하지 않았나 싶다.

하지만 나는? PE를 필요로 하지도, 자격수당을 지급하지도 않는 공기업에 있다. 누군가 알아주길 바란다기 보다는 자기만족을 위한 부분이 더 크다. 부서 변경에도 도움이 되었으면 하는 마음도 어느정도 있다.(나는 이만큼 노력하는 사람이라는 것을 보여주고 싶어서)

아무튼, 우리나라 기술사를 공부하기 전에, 워밍업 삼아서, 기술사보다는 공부기간이 짧을 것으로 예상(?)...되는 PE를 취득하기로 올 상반기 목표를 세웠다!

 

지난 주 부터 열심히 사전조사를 좀 해보면서 과목도 정했다.

 

📖 과목 선택

 - FE Mechanical

 - PE Mechanical : HVAC and Refrigeration

 

📖 공부할 책 선택

 - FE 1) FE Review Manual

          2) FE Mechanical Practice Exam

 - PE 1) Mechanical Engineering Review Manual

          2) MERM Practice Problems : HVAC and Refrigeration

          3) PE Practice Exam

 

FE RM은 과목이 나눠지기 전 옛날버전(린드버그, 2판)은 구글링좀 하면 쉽게 나오는데 나머지들은 어려운 것 같다... 어떻게 구하지...

일단 FE부터 끝내자!
