The pages in each section

Each topic has one home: statics, dynamics and mechanics of materials on the mechanical pages, circuits on the electrical ones, water treatment on the environmental ones, psychrometrics on the HVAC&R ones. Hydrology, thermodynamics and fluids appear in each discipline that tests them, from its own angle: the rational method, for example, is on FE Civil water resources. The shared FE sections are on the FE practice test and engineering economics.
