FE Prep

The following steps should be taken to becoming a professional licensed engineer:

1. Taking and passing the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam
2. Working for at least four years under a Professional Engineer to be eligible for taking the Professional Engineering (PE) exam
3. Taking and passing the PE exam

The first step in becoming a Professional Engineer is to take the FE exam which is a computer-based test with about 110 multiple-choice questions. This test is designed to measure your engineering knowledge. Usually, this test is taken during or right after undergraduate engineering studies. There are many benefits in taking and passing the FE exam, including higher earning potential and better career opportunities.
