Fundamental Examinations
The Fundamentals of Engineering Exam is generally taken during the applicant’s final year of school or immediately after graduation. No engineering experience is required; however, evidence of acceptable education is required.
Fundamentals of Engineering Application (Initial FE Application) - $30 Fee
This application is used by first time applicants. It is also used by applicants who have failed the exam three (3) times and who have completed the 12 college credit hours necessary to apply again for the exam.
The morning session is the same for all exam takers. For the afternoon session, you will be asked during registration with NCEES to select the module (options are listed at www.ncees.org/exams) that best corresponds to your undergraduate degree. The FE exam is a closed-book; however, NCEES will provide you with an FE-Supplied Reference Handbook. The grades are typically released 8-10 weeks after the exam. You will be notified of your exam results directly from NCEES via email.
