The Fundamentals of Engineering Exam (FE)

The Fundamentals of Engineering (FE), formerly Engineering-In-Training (EIT), is a test taken after a student has completed most of their undergraduate education. It is one step toward becoming a Professional Engineer (PE). This test is administered twice a year, once in April and October. It is recommended to take the FE exam during or soon after graduation. After several years of practice, an engineer may take the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam to qualify for a PE.
