"The topics presented in this book cover the exam specifications for Mechanics of Materials in the Reference Handbook provided by the NCEES for the Fundamental of Engineering Examination in Civil Engineering. The practice problems in the handbook also reflect the format of the actual examination. To make the best of this book, an individual is expected to solve each practice problem to completion and select the best answer among the provided multiple choices prior to looking at the supplied answer and solution to a problem. Solving practice problems before reviewing the solution is a proven technique for active learning and subject matter familiarization. This book should be used with the NCEES Supplied Reference Handbook when preparing for the FE Examination."
