The Fundamentals of Engineering (FE)
exam, also referred to as the Engineer in Training (EIT)
exam, and formerly in some states as the Engineering
Intern (EI) exam, is the first of two examinations
that
engineers must pass in order to
be licensed as a
Professional Engineer in the
United States.
The exam is open to anyone with a degree in engineering or a related field, or currently enrolled in the last year of an ABET-accredited engineering degree program.
Some state licensure boards permit students to take it prior to their final year, and numerous states allow those who have never attended an approved program to take the exam if they have a state-determined number of years of work experience in engineering.
A selection of states allow those with ABET-accredited "Engineering Technology" or "TAC" degrees to take the examination.
The exam is administered by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES).
