摘要

Like many other programs in Civil and Environmental Engineering, the majority of students at our University take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. While not currently required for graduation, students, faculty, and employers alike see passing the FE exam as an important first step in a Civil Engineering career. Historically, FE pass rates at our University have slightly trailed both national averages and those for our Carnegie classification-based comparator group for those students taking the Civil Engineering specific afternoon exam. The relative difference in pass rates, however, has been quite variable over the years. Recently, department faculty have responded to this situation by conducting an analysis of curriculum issues related to student preparation for the FE exam and by implementing new measures designed to improve student preparation and FE exam pass rates. An analysis of the most recent test performance found that there was a statistically significant difference between our students' performance on the AM and PM exam, with the PM exam performance exceeding the AM exam performance. A comparison of the performance weighted according the relative numbers of questions for a particular topic for the AM and PM found that 67% of the overall difference in FE exam performance between our students and students in our comparator group was attributable to our students' performance on the morning exam. Furthermore, much of the difference in performance on the AM exam for our students was concentrated in just a few topics. To improve student performance Department faculty have begun a program to improve both student preparation and motivation with the aim of achieving FE exam pass rates that meet or exceed the national averages.
