The FE Exam proceeds as follows:
Morning Session: Four hours,
120 multiple-choice, general-subject questions.
Break: One hour.
Afternoon Session: Four hours, 60 multiple-choice, discipline-specific questions.
There are currently some discipline-specific
exams (civil, chemical, electrical,
environmental, 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).
For more information about the exam and
engineering licensure, visit the
National Council of
Examiners for Engineering and Surveying homepage.
