Computer Part

Computer is a topic of the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam which covers in general areas in number systems, spreadsheets, digital logic etc. The current exam does not include a programming language such as C, C++, Java. We can say just Computer Basics as an engineer.

NUMBER SYSTEMS

We are going to got involved in problems directly
so if u cannot get the solution just refresh your mind by revising it.
Basically its questions are about

Conversion Between Different Number Systems

Convert the decimal number 82 to base 6:

82/6	=	13	remainder 4
13/6	=	2	remainder 1
2/6	=	0	remainder 2

The answer is formed by taking the remainders in reverse order: 2 1 4 base 6.

..........................................................................................................................................................................

1	0	0	1	1	the binary number
2^4	2^3	2^2	2^1	2^0	place values

So the binary number 10011 represents the value

(1*2^4)	+	(0*2^3)	+	(0*2^2)	+	(1*2^1)	+	(1*2^0)
=	16	+	0	+	0	+	2	+	1
=	19

....................................................................................................

(1101.1)₂ = (?)₁₀

(1101.1)₂ = 1×2³ + 1×2² + 0×2¹ + 1×2⁰ + 1×2^-1
= 8 + 4 + 0 + 1 + ½ = 13.5

(1101.1)₂ = (13.5)₁₀

The radix or base of the number system is the total number of digits allowed in the number system. Number systems often used in digital system design and programming are decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal.

This Part main problem for many is Signed Number Representation
so its easy to get its idea from here

EXAM PREPARATION STRATEGY

Overview

Everyone needs to prepare for the FE Exam in one way or another. Regarding the question “What's the best way to study for the FE exam?” the advice given by recent examinees is virtually unanimous: work practice problems, find out where your weaknesses lie, study those areas, and then work more practice problems. Taking a timed practice exam (or a partial exam) is a popular strategy. This not only gives the examinee more practice solving problems but also lets you find out how well you perform under pressure.

1. Recognize that the five topics with the most exam questions – Mathematics, Chemistry, Engineering Mechanics, Engineering Economics, and Electricity & Magnetism – account for 51 percent of the AM exam.

2. The remaining seven topic areas – Computers, Ethics & Business Practices, Engineering Probability & Statistics, Strength of Materials, Material Properties, Fluid Mechanics, and Thermodynamic – account for 49 percent of the AM exam.
