FUNDAMENTALS OF ENGINEERING EXAM & REVIEW - The FE exam is a comprehensive exam of engineering principles in addition to taking a portion of the exam on your specified discipline. You MUST take the FE exam if you are interested in eventually becoming a Professional Engineer (PE). If you are interested in taking the FE exam this spring (April 2010), please be aware that you must register ON or BEFORE DECEMBER 1, 2009. Exam information here. A review will be held for the FE exam during Winter Term at OSU; registration begins in December 2009. Those who take the FE review course have a near 100% pass rate on the exam. Here is the website regarding the FE Review (updates are coming!). Further information will be available in the coming weeks. Please be aware, registering for the review DOES NOT register you for the FE exam, and conversely, registering for the exam DOES NOT register you for the review. They are independent registrations. If you have any questions, please email us at osu.fereview@gmail.com. Brent Hughes & James Ralstin, OSU IIE FE Review Chairs.
