FOREWORD
During its August 1991 Annual Business Meeting, the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES)
voted to make the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination an NCEES supplied-reference examination. Then during its
August 1994 Annual Business Meeting, the NCEES voted to make the FE examination a discipline-specific examination. As a
result of the 1994 vote, the FE examination was developed to test the lower-division subjects of a typical bachelor engineering
degree program during the morning portion of the examination, and to test the upper-division subjects of a typical bachelor
engineering degree program during the afternoon. The lower-division subjects refer to the first 90 semester credit hours (five
semesters at 18 credit hours per semester) of engineering coursework. The upper-division subjects refer to the remainder of the
engineering coursework.
Since engineers rely heavily on reference materials, the
FE Supplied-Reference Handbook
will be made available prior to the
examination. The examinee may use this handbook while preparing for the examination. The handbook contains only reference
formulas and tables; no example questions are included. Many commercially available books contain worked examples and
sample questions. An examinee can also perform a self-test using one of the NCEES
FE Sample Questions and Solutions
books
(a partial examination), which may be purchased by calling (800) 250-3196.
The examinee is not allowed to bring reference material into the examination room. Another copy of the
FE Supplied-Reference
Handbook
will be made available to each examinee in the room. When the examinee departs the examination room, the
FE
Supplied-Reference Handbook
supplied in the room shall be returned to the examination proctors.
The
FE Supplied-Reference Handbook
has been prepared to support the FE examination process. The
FE Supplied-Reference
Handbook
is not designed to assist in all parts of the FE examination. For example, some of the basic theories, conversions,
formulas, and definitions that examinees are expected to know have not been included. The
FE Supplied-Reference Handbook
may not include some special material required for the solution of a particular question. In such a situation, the required special
information will be included in the question statement.
DISCLAIMER:
The NCEES in no event shall be liable for not providing reference material to support all the
questions in the FE examination. In the interest of constant improvement, the NCEES reserves the right to
revise and update the
FE Supplied-Reference Handbook
as it deems appropriate without informing interested
parties. Each NCEES FE examination will be administered using the latest version of the
FE Supplied-
Reference Handbook.
So that this handbook can be reused, PLEASE, at the examination site,
DO NOT WRITE IN THIS HANDBOOK
