To get this certification, I had to pass the Fundamentals of Engineering exam (also known as the FE exam), which is the first of two examinations engineers must pass in order to be certified as a Professional Engineer.
The exam is eight hours and is split into a four-hour morning session and a four-hour afternoon session, with a lunch break in between. The morning session is a 120-question general exam for which all examinees must sit. The afternoon session consists of 60 questions and is more discipline-oriented.
