  EIT
(Engineer In Training)

In order to become an Professional engineer certain tests need to be taken.  The first of which is the Engineer in Training Test (EIT).  This test covers the basics of engineering, everything from statics to biology.  The difficulty of the material in not hard, but the test does cover a wide variety of topics, which is why some say that the test is the hardest engineering test one will take.

Luckily CSUF-ASCE has a copy of a EIT Review book, and other resources.

Feel free to check out the EIT Review and use it to study up!

Also Texas A&M University has videos of professors covering topics.  That can be found Here.
