Detailed reference guide on how to program your HP 33s or HP 35s for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE/EIT) Exam.

The programs and equations contained in this guide are matched to the current FE/EIT (Fundamentals of Engineering / Engineer in Training) exam specifications and are specifically designed to solve typical NCEES questions. The guide contains simple instructions on how to use the FE/EIT programs and summarizes each program, its applications, variables, program text, and miscellaneous notes. This guide also helps the user become familiar with the programs and how they are used for the standard question types. The guide also helps the user become acquainted with some of the miscellaneous features and capabilities of the HP 35s/33s, that will be of use during the exam.

This product is more than a list of equations to be typed into the calculator. This product is a combination of programs and equations, that are expanded to incorporate the calculation steps involved in typical NCEES questions. There are over 400 lines of program and equation text. Most of these lines of text are for programs, since each equation counts as only one line of text, regardless of its length. This product utilizes the HP 35s/33s' full programming capabilities, and applies them to the FE/EIT exam. This is significantly more valuable than just typing in equations copied from the NCEES Supplied Reference Handbook or other study aid.

All of these programs have been carefully selected, reviewed and tested by two licensed professional engineers (names and license numbers available on request), and all programs are guaranteed to be error-free. A lot of time has been spent developing and checking these programs and equations. The use of this product will provide greater accuracy and speed in tackling the numerical questions on the exam, and allow more time to be spent on the descriptive and abstract questions.

The programs are designed to give maximum flexibility to accommodate any uncertainty in the format of the information presented in a question. For example, in calculating the voltage drop of an electrical circuit, the user can input either the current in amps, or the power in watts, and does not need to perform a conversion in order to use the program. Units are consistent with the NCEES conventions, and are therefore a combination of metric and imperial depending upon the particular application. Multiple calculation steps are combined in many of the programs, and in some cases, long manual calculations are reduced to seconds.

The list of programs follows:

Solution of simultaneous equations up to third order
Solution of polynomial equations up to fifth order
Linear motion calculations
Projectile motion calculations
One-dimensional particle motion calculations
Area of a regular polygon
Calculation of vector combinations up to third order
Centripetal force

9 finance formulas relating the variables F,P,A, G, I & n

The calculator can be set to operate in either RPN (reverse polish notation) or regular algebraic mode. The chosen setting does not affect the operation of the engineering programs in the guide.

No programming skills are needed to enter or execute any of the programs. The instructions provided in each version of the program guide are very simple and all button presses are clearly indicated. The user will not have to refer back to the HP User's Manual.

In April 2004, the NCEES began a policy of strictly enforcing the calculator policy, and the HP 35s is the most advanced RPN calculator that is permitted in these exams. The NCEES does permit pre-programmed calculators to be used during the exam, and there is no restriction on the data that may be programmed into a calculator provided that it is an approved model. The official NCEES calculator policy can be viewed at http://www.ncees.org/exams/calculators. The policy was updated on November 15, 2006, for the 2007 exams, and the HP 35s is still permitted.

Please refer to the feedback comments from PE candidates who have recently purchased this programmed calculator or guide, and used it in recent examinations. The Newcalc EBAY account has 100% positive feedback. Many users have indicated that they probably would not have passed without the help of these programs.
