The FE is the same in all US states and valid everywhere in the United States. There are multiple testing dates each year. On exam day, you’ll have about five hours to answer 110 questions.
Find a Testing Center
You’ll take the exam on a computer at an official test center. There’s at least one in most major US cities. The location in Durham, North Carolina, is less than 10 miles from the Duke campus.
Fall Date May Be Preferable to Spring
You may find it wiser to sit for the FE in the fall of your fourth year. In the spring, you’ll be busy preparing for graduation.
Be Aware of Deadlines and Testing Dates
Our advice: start early.
Be forewarned that the application deadline for the fall sitting may be in the summer before your senior year begins.
Here’s the bottom line: Being a PE is a big deal. Licensure assures the public and your clients you are a well-prepared and highly capable professional. It’s also a credential that can accelerate your career.
