Fundamentals Exams Now Computer-Based

Fundamentals Exams Now Computer-Based Fundamentals Exams Now Computer-Based Fundamentals Exams Now Computer-BasedIn a change that should make taking the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) and Fundamentals of Surveying (FS) examinations a much easier process, the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying is now offering the exams at approved Pearson VUE computer-based testing centers. Previously, the tests were only offered two times a year in the traditional pencil-and-paper format.Computer-based testing provides many advantages for both examinees and NCEES, the council said. Test takers can now schedule their exam at a time and location that is convenient for them and receive their results within 7 to 10 days. In addition, the move to computer-based testing ensures enhanced security and better uniformity in testing conditions, according to NCEES. The Principles and Practice of Engineering Exam, which engineers take after the FE exam in order to become a Professional Engineer (PE) in the United States, will still be offered in the pencil-and-paper format.To learn more about the FE and FS exams, visit http//ncees.org/exams.
