The Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam confirms the technical knowledge of engineering graduates. The National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) in the United States administers this exam.If you intend to practise engineering in the United States, the FE exam is usually the first step to obtaining a P.E. licence in the U.S. APEGA is not involved in US state board licensing decisions. APEGA recommends that Members interested in applying to a state board contact that board directly for more information regarding their licensure requirements and application process.
If you are an applicant, the APEGA Board of Examiners (BOE) may assign you the FE exam – on its own or with other technical exams – to confirm your technical engineering knowledge. Do not write the FE exam before receiving a decision from the BOE, as you may not need to write it.
