Lebanese University Faculty of Engineering Entrance Examination study guide
Lebanese University Faculty of Engineering Entrance Examination · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Lebanese University Faculty of Engineering entrance examination is the competitive admissions filter for candidates seeking a place in the Faculty of Engineering at the Lebanese University, the country's only public university. It is aimed at strong secondary-school graduates, typically holders of the Lebanese Baccalaureate in mathematics or experimental sciences, who want to enter engineering studies in the public system rather than a private university. The Lebanese University Faculty of Engineering Entrance Examination study guide has 7 sections and about 2,155 words.
01Algebra and Functions
Algebra and functions questions test fluent movement between algebraic, graphical and symbolic forms: domains and ranges, composition and inversion, quadratic and rational functions, exponential and logarithmic equations, and inequalities. Expect one direct computation and one multi-step problem in which a domain restriction changes the answer.
304 words, about 2 min02Geometry and Trigonometry
Plane geometry and trigonometry: triangle similarity and congruence, circle theorems, areas, the sine and cosine rules, trigonometric identities and equations, radian measure, and simple coordinate geometry. Questions often combine a geometric configuration with a trigonometric computation.
287 words, about 1 min03Calculus and Analysis
Limits, continuity, differentiability, derivatives and their applications such as monotonicity, extrema and asymptotes, and integration including antiderivatives, definite integrals and areas. The exam favours a limit that needs algebra first and a function study that requires a sign table.
305 words, about 2 min04Mechanics and Kinematics
Kinematics in one and two dimensions, Newton's laws, friction, inclined planes, circular motion, work–energy and momentum. Numerical problems usually need a clear choice of axes and a free-body sketch, even when the sketch is not collected.
297 words, about 1 min05Electricity, Magnetism, and Waves
Electrostatics, direct-current circuits, capacitors, magnetic forces and induction, and basic wave behaviour. Questions are usually quantitative and test whether you can combine a circuit rule with an energy or field calculation.
313 words, about 2 min06General and Inorganic Chemistry
Atomic structure, electron configuration, periodic trends, chemical bonding, the mole and stoichiometric calculations, solutions, and redox and acid–base fundamentals. Calculations are marked for units and significant figures as well as for the number.
313 words, about 2 min07Organic Chemistry and Stoichiometry
Nomenclature, functional-group identification, isomerism, the main reaction types, and stoichiometry applied to organic reactions, especially combustion and esterification. Expect a structure-drawing or formula-finding task plus a mass or volume calculation.
