As civil engineers, the
first step towards getting your PE license is sitting
and passing the EIT. Chi Epsilon sponsors two week review
sessions for all major subjects covered on the exam.

**Important**
The fundamentals of engineering (FE) exam (formerly EIT) will be offered at Cal Poly starting with the October 25, 2008 exam. The FE exam at Cal Poly is being offered as a pilot program by the California Board for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors and is open to all current Cal Poly students. The registration deadline is February 23, 2009 (fall exam) and the registration form is available at:
http://www.pels.ca.gov/applicants/eit_lsitapp.shtml.
The application form will be updated to include Cal Poly as an approved site for Cal Poly students. In the meantime, the Board has asked that the students write "Request the Cal Poly Site" on Question 10 of the application.

Exam Tips:
- Bring food (sack lunch) at test or in car because fairground food is costly, long lines, and not enough time to leave area.
- For traveling after the test, be prepared for delays that prolong the test such as a short lunch or a late ending (such as 6:30 p.m.)
-
Drive to the test site the day before or before 7 a.m. to locate the site.
- Avoid fast food the night before
- Website will provide when the EIT test results will come (expect 13+ weeks, maybe a week before you have to submit for a new test)
- Know your formula book pretty well
- Bubble in (don’t leave blank) sections you are not familiar with and focus on your specialty, expect a fast morning section and a long afternoon section
- Ask engineering advisers in your specific major for more helpful suggestions
