Fundamentals of Engineering Examination 

FE Review for currently enrolled students

What is the FE/EIT Exam?

The Fundamentals of Engineering Exam (previously named the Engineer in Training Exam) is the first step to professional engineering licensure. The FE Exam is composed of a 4-hour, 120 question multiple choice general-subject morning session, followed by a 1-hour break, then a 4-hour, 60 questions multiple choice discipline-specific afternoon session.

There are currently five different discipline-specific exams (civil, chemical, electrical, mechanical and industrial). There is also an additional general afternoon exam for students not in those disciplines (though anyone can opt to take the general afternoon exam in place of a discipline-specific one).

When is the FE Exam?   

Is this exam required?

Engineering students at the University of South Alabama are required to take and make a "good faith" effort to pass the Fundamentals of Engineering examination prior to their anticipated date of graduation. Students should be aware of the 90-day advance deadline established by the State Board of Registration for submission of examination application materials. Failure to meet the deadline could result in delayed graduation. 

Examinee admissions will take place from 7:15–7:40 a.m. The examination room doors will be closed at 7:40 a.m. Absolutely no examinees will be allowed in the examination room after 7:40 a.m. It is your responsibility to take necessary precautions to ensure you arrive on time. All examinees must be seated when instructions begin at 7:40 a.m.

Departmental secretaries are notaries and forms must be typed.  Online PDF form can be typed into and printed (may not save though)
