Engineers

The Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) study group focuses on assisting internationally educated engineers in reviewing competencies as outlined by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES). Sessions focus on the fundamentals of engineering and are facilitated by a licensed engineer. Every week participants will complete an online quiz. The quizzes allow participants to practice and improve their skills. An online forum will be available to connect, learn from other participants and collaborate. Two practice exams of 110 questions are offered. These practice exams simulate the typical exam-day experience.

The materials covered in the facilitated sessions review the general (Other Disciplines) FE material. Please be aware that the FE exam is a discipline specific examination. For information on the FE exam please visit: ncees.org/exams/fe-exam/

* Dates and delivery mode of the study group may be subject to change. Registered participants will be notified and updates will be posted on our webpage.
