Sample WPE Questions
For students taking the written prelims you can click on the links below to get sample tests to prepare you for your exams.
Fluids & Comp. Fluids | Aerospace Systems | Solids
- TO: All interested graduate students who have not passed or taken the written preliminary exams
- FROM: DGS
- DATE: June 7th, 2007
- SUBJECT: Written Preliminary Exam
The written preliminary exam is scheduled for April 4th and 5th, 2008:
Friday, April 4 from 3:30 - 6:00 p.m. in (TBD):
- Continuum Mechanics
- Fluid Mechanics
- Controls
Saturday, April 5 from 9:00-11:30 a.m. in (TBD):
- Dynamics
- Computational Fluid Dynamics
Currently, five exam questions are planned. Students must answer two questions from the above subjects.
Students may bring a calculator and one notebook containing their notes on the subject to each session. The questions will be open-ended and will require creative application of the subject matter.
The faculty will consider the exam papers, plus other information such as performance in course work, etc., in deciding whether the student has passed or failed the exam.
Students who pass the examination will receive higher priority in financial aid decisions. Students who do not pass the examination can retake it next year.
NOTE: These are ALL the practice exams that are available. Not every section will have a practice exam for every year.
Additional sample exams from years prior to the 2000 are available upon request. Contact Emily in the AEM Office.
