ESD Affiliate Council

SWE Detroit is an affiliate member of the Engineering Society of Detroit. Please feel free to visit their website at www.esd.org. Our SWE award members will be recognized at the ESD Gold Awards Banquet.

The Engineering Society of Detroit (ESD) has been preparing engineers for FE and PE examinations since 1940. A Professional Engineer license shows an engineer’s knowledge and dedication to the profession, and allows an individual to work as an independent consultant. Our track record has led to us becoming a leading figure in exam preparation; engineers prepared though ESD courses have a higher examination success rate.

The Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Review Course includes 60 hours of classroom preparation with instruction by experienced professionals and a binder of the instructor’s study notes. The Principles & Practice of Engineering (PE) Review Course brings attendees 28 hours of instruction focusing on problem solving techniques needed for the exam. The courses provide detailed instruction by qualified instructors for specialized fields in civil, electrical, environmental and mechanical engineering. 
If are seeking to advance your career, FE/PE Review Courses at ESD give you the best quality preparation for state exams. For information on dates, times and costs, visit www.esd.org or call 248-353-0735.
