1 NCEES Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Examination Review Fluid Mechanics, Hydraulics and Hydrologic Systems Instructor: Dr. Marcio H. Giacomoni 1

2 Introduction The FE examination is an 8-hour suppliedreference examination: 120 questions in the 4-hour morning session 2 minutes per question 60 questions in the 4-hour afternoon session. 4 minutes per question 2

3 FE Supplied-Reference Book It can be downloaded at: y-materials/download-fesupplied-referencehandbook/ It is very important to be familiar with the Reference book To know exactly where each topic is located 3

4 Morning Session 120 questions divided in 12 topic sections X. Fluid Mechanics (7% - 8 to 9 questions) A. Flow measurement B. Fluid properties C. Fluid statics D. Energy, impulse, and momentum equations E. Pipe and other internal flow 4

5 Afternoon Session 60 questions divided in 9 sections II. Hydraulics and Hydrologic Systems (12% - 7 to 8 questions) A. Basic hydrology (e.g., infiltration, rainfall, runoff, detention, flood flows, watersheds) B. Basic hydraulics (e.g., Manning equation, Bernoulli theorem, open-channel flow, pipe flow) C. Pumping systems (water and wastewater) D. Municipal water distribution systems E. Reservoirs (e.g., dams, routing, spillways) F. Groundwater (e.g., flow, wells, drawdown) G. Sewer collection systems (storm and sanitary) 5

6 UNITS The FE examination uses both the International System of Units (SI) and the US Customary System (USCS). See page 19 of the FE Supplied-Reference Book In the USCS system of units, both force and mass are called pounds. Therefore, one must distinguish the pound-force (lbf) from the poundmass (lbm). 6
