Fundamentals of Engineering Exam (FE)
The Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) is required of all BS Civil Engineering and BS Construction Engineering students before graduating. Passing the FE exam and earning a BS degree are the first steps toward professional licensure, which you enter in the status of Engineering Intern. After a suitable period of practice in the profession and passing of the Professional Engineering exam, you achieve the status of Professional Engineer (PE) and are professionally licensed in whatever state(s) in which you practice.
There are usually review sessions for the FE exam held each semester, coordinated by the officers of Chi Epsilon, and you will find them helpful as you prepare yourself to take it.
