Refresher Courses 

The Pittsburgh Chapter sponsors refresher courses twice yearly for both the Engineer in Training (EIT/FE) and Professional Engineer (civil discipline) exams.  Courses meet one evening per week to complement the semiannual examinations administered in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

This coming fall 2008, the PE exam is scheduled for Friday, October 24 and the EIT/FE exam is scheduled for Saturday, October 25.

The refresher courses will be held at Robert Morris University in Moon Township.  A minimum enrollment of 8 students per course is required.  A tuition fee of $350 is charged for each course, payable to Pittsburgh Chapter, PSPE. The Fall 2008 Refresher Courses are scheduled for 9 sessions beginning Wednesday, August 27, 2008 and running through Wednesday, October 22, 2008.  Each course provides 22 hours of instruction.  The deadline for course registration is Friday, August 22, 2008.  The Civil PE Review class runs concurrently on the same dates as the EIT/FE at Robert Morris University. All classes are scheduled from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM.  For more information and registration materials for these courses, please check the Chapter web-site http://www.PittsburghPE.org or contact the Chapter office at 412-391-0615.   Feel free to contact the EIT/FE instructor, Steven Musial, P.E., at 412-956-6448 for additional class information.

PSPE Basic Engineering Review Course - A Mini Preparation for the Civil Engineering PE Review

For the first time, the Pittsburgh Chapter of the PSPE is offering three basic engineering review classes for people who intend to take the PSPE Civil Professional Engineer Examination Review Classes that begin on Wednesday, August 27, 2008. The Basic Engineering Review Course is primarily for people who have already passed the FE or EIT exam but feel a need to brush up on some of the subjects that are of importance in the Civil PE Review.

This mini course is being offered because we have found that many students have not used these basic skills for some period of time and need a brief review to allow them to take full advantage of the information presented in the PSPE Civil PE Refresher Classes. Our goal is to give all students the best opportunity to be successful on the Civil PE Examination.

These classes will review selected topics in mathematics, statics, strength of materials, chemistry and physics.  Each of the three classes will be 3 hours long and will be held at the Moon Campus of Robert Morris University. The class schedule is as follows:

Date                                        Subject                                                            Instructor
 Wed. August 06, 2008            Mathematics                                        Steve Musial, P.E.
 Wed. August 13, 2008            Statics & Strength of Materials             Steve Musial, P.E.
 Wed. August 20, 2008            Chemistry & Physics                             Steve Musial, P.E.

All classes start at 6:00 PM.  Students will be notified of the room location two days before the first class begins.

 Although this mini course is intended as preparation for the PSPE Civil PE Review, it may be somewhat applicable for those planning on taking the Mechanical Engineering PE Exam.  Although those students who plan on enrolling in the PSPE Fundamentals of Engineering Review Course will be receiving instruction in the above mentioned subjects, they are also welcome to take this mini prep course if they sense a weakness in these subject areas.

 The cost of this mini prep course is $170.   The instructor can be reached at 412-956-6448 if anyone has any questions about this course.
