Architectural Engineering PE Exam Review

A four-part series

Prepare with ASCE’s AE PE Exam Review Series to gain confidence to pass the exam. Four content areas are covered in this review series: electrical systems, mechanical systems, structural systems, and project management and construction administration. During live sessions, the instructors will review tools and strategies to prepare and pass the exam and solve problems in a step-by-step manner to prepare you for the AM and PM exam. These courses also serve as refreshers for AEs seeking to refresh their knowledge base in a secondary or tertiary AE technical sector currently outside of their primary practice.
