IMPORTANT NEW INFORMATION ABOUT THE
FUNDAMENTALS OF ENGINEERING EXAMINATION
COMPUTER-BASED DELIVERY
Beginning in 2014, the Fundamentals of Engineering exam will be administered via computer at
PearsonVue testing centers. The exam will be offered in January, February, April, May, July, August,
October, and November. You will schedule your exam date after registering with NCEES. Exam results
will be available in 7-10 days. Continue reading for more important information.
DISCIPLINE SPECIFIC EXAMS
The content of the exam is changing significantly. Instead of a common morning portion and a disciplinespecific afternoon portion, examinees will now take one of seven individual exams that include content
from only the areas that are common to that discipline's curriculum. Each exam will consist of 110
questions, and you will have a total of 5 hours and 20 minutes to complete them. Visit
www.ncees.org/cbt to review the new exam specifications.
The disciplines are:
Chemical
Civil
Electrical and Computer
Environmental
Industrial
Mechanical
Other Disciplines
APPROVAL AND EXAMINATION DETAILS. The Board will notify you in writing whether you are
approved or not approved. You must register with NCEES’ Examination Management System in order
to sit for the exam. You may wait until you have been approved by the Board or you may register now.
If you register and are not approved by the Board to take the exam, we will cancel your NCEES
registration.
