Beschreibung
- Summarizes the theoretical background of topics covered in the Principles and Practice of Engineering Examination in the area of Environmental Engineering.
- Includes two practice exams with 100 problems each, and solutions to each problem are provided.
- Each problem includes answers that result from common mistakes, which helps readers to quickly build a solid foundation in the subject.
This review will help candidates prepare for the Principles and Practice of Engineering Examination in the area of Environmental Engineering by refreshing their memory of key concepts and theory. In addition to a review of theory, two practice exams following the multiple choice format used by the PE exam are supplied with solutions to every problem. The material covered in the book and tested in the practice exam includes:
- Water resources, distribution, and treatment
- Waste water collection and treatment
- Groundwater resources, soils, and remediation
- Air pollution transport and treatment
- Solid waste disposal, treatment, and recycling
- Hazardous waste minimization, treatment, and disposal
- Environmental assessments and emergency response
- Errors and uncertainty in environmental measurements
This book helps readers become licensed professional engineers (PE’s). Licensure demonstrates high standards of professionalism, knowledge, and ability. Moreover, there are career opportunities that are only available to PE’s. In order to meet the work experience requirement, PE examinees have generally been out of school for some time. This book summarizes topics covered in the PE environmental engineering exam, refreshing readers on subjects they may not have worked with since their undergraduate days. Sample exam questions use "logical distractors," answers that result from common mistakes, to help readers avoid these mistakes during the actual exam. Solutions to the questions, included in the book, carefully explain why the logical distractors are incorrect. Although intended for engineers preparing for the PE environmental engineering exam, the book is useful in undergraduate engineering courses that cover environmental engineering topics.
Book summarizes theoretical background of topics covered in exam Includes two or three "logical distractors" (answers that result from common mistakes) among the answer choices for each problem
