Professional Engineering (PE) Exam
A multimeter is an instrument that combines several electronic measuring functions into one device. A typical multimeter measures, at the least, voltage, current and resistance. However, there are multimeters available that provide much more functionality.
Multimeters are probably the most important device anyone performing electrical work can own. Multimeters are available in a wide range of prices and functionality. Cheap, hand-held devices can cost as little as $10 while calibration-grade devices can cost up to $5,000. Click below for a list of different multimeter models readily available. Whether you are an experienced electrician performing field service work, or a hobbyist attemping to wire a home for the first time, there is a multimeter in this list for you.

Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam
Below is a list of recommended preparation material for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam. The FE exam as of September 2014 is an online exam taking at a Pearson standard testing center. The best advice for the FE exam is to learn the standard equation sheet given to you on text day, and learn HOW TO USE IT. Every question on the FE exam can be solved by an equation given to you on this equation sheet. You just need to be knowledgable enough to apply a given equation to a given problem. With that being said, the reference materials below have been carefully selected and proven to be effective in studying for the FE exam.
