  2. About: • Are you about to complete your undergraduate engineering degree and contemplating becoming a professional licensed engineer (P.E.)? We’ll help you make your decision by diving into the benefits of passing the FE exam and obtaining the EIT certification which is the first step toward a P.E. license. • The Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam is a computer-based testing examination designed to test your undergraduate engineering competency. It contains 110 questions and you are given a total exam time of 5 hours and 20 minutes which roughly translates into less than 3 minutes per question. • As mentioned on the NCEES® website, “this exam is primarily designed for recent graduates and students who are close to finishing an undergraduate engineering degree..” This doesn’t mean that it is not for you if you’ve been out of school for a while but it does mean that the sooner you take this exam the easier it will be for you.

  3. Here are 6 key benefits that might encourage you to consider the FE exam: • More career opportunities • Increased chances of being hired • Higher salary • Recognition and status • Raise your profile within the company and outside • Gain confidence to take on bigger challenges

  4. More Career Opportunities • Passing the FE exam opens up a whole new world of career opportunities. After passing the FE exam, you can apply for an EIT certificate with the local state board. This certificate indicates to your current and prospective employers that you are on your path to becoming a PE very soon. • If you are already employed, you may qualify for a promotion and also get a chance to work on more exciting projects. If you are looking for work then passing the FE exam and having an EIT certificate can help you get your foot in the door of your dream employer.

  5. Increased Chances of Being Hired • There’s no doubt that having a professional engineering license can give your career a boost. But did you know that simply passing the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam can also make you more attractive to potential employers? • In today’s job market, any boost you can give yourself is important. If you’re still in college or just starting your job search, taking and passing the FE exam is a great way to make yourself stand out from the crowd. • Considering the fact that the FE examination is not a graduation requirement at most universities and is considered an ‘add-on’ by most graduates, having an EIT certificate will definitely give you an edge over other candidates that are not even thinking about this examination. Moreover, simply passing the FE exam will open up a larger pool of job vacancies for you. As mentioned earlier, several job postings clearly indicate a preference for candidates that have passed the FE exam and hold an EIT certificate.

This exam is the first step in becoming a licensed professional engineer (PE). With a PE license, you can transition into higher-paying managerial roles or you can even open up your own personal consultation practice and increase your income streams.

  7. What Is The Purpose of The FE Exam? The FE engineering exam is a stepping stone to becoming a Professional Engineer (P.E). Once you pass your FE exam, after 4 years of working as an Engineer in Training, you’re eligible to take the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam which grants you a PE license. Of course, the PE license means you’re playing in a different league altogether and opens up multiple opportunities we discussed above. If you’re thinking about taking the FE exam, we highly suggest that you go through some professional tips for passing the FE exam.
