FE / EIT - Fundamentals of Engineering / Engineer in Training
The Engineer in Training (EIT) certification is the designation gained by an
individual after passing the Engineer in Training exam, also known as the
Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam, administered by the NCEES twice
a year at specified locations throughout each State.
The Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam is generally your first step in
the process to becoming a professional licensed engineer (PE). The FE is
designed for recent graduates and students who are close to finishing an
undergraduate engineering degree from an EAC/ABET accredited program.
The FE exam is a computer-based exam administered year-round in testing
windows at NCEES-approved Pearson VUE test centers. You can register
for an FE exam by logging in to your MyNCEES account and following the
onscreen instructions.
