Exam Review Course
An Announcement from Joe
Parker
The Professional
Engineering Exam for Chemical Engineers is offered twice annually: in the
middle of April, and at the end of October.
In the past, the East Tennessee Section of AIChE has offered a review
course for those planning to sit for the exam. The winter months seem to be more conducive
to studying for the exam, so the course has traditionally been offered in
February and March. Many who do not
plan to sit for the exam until October also attend the class, however, in
order to refresh their memories about the topics they will be reviewing. If you
are interested in attending this course, please contact Joe Parker at
423-229-3850 (e-mail jlparker@eastman.com) so we can determine if there is
sufficient interest to hold the course next year. The
class would meet one night a week for six weeks; each week, a different
subject would be reviewed. 2009 Preliminary PE Review
Course Schedule
Each
session would last two to three hours.
The course would begin around the first week in February, and the cost
would be $25 per person. EVEN IF YOU ALREADY HOLD AN
ENGINEERING LICENSE, YOU Nu-Energie Plant Tour
