FE: Industrial Engineering Fundamentals of Engineering Exam Practice Test
The Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Industrial Engineering exam is the first step toward professional licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) in the United States. Administered by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES), this computer-based test assesses a candidate's mastery of the foundational principles and analytical skills essential to the industrial engineering discipline. Passing the FE exam demonstrates a rigorous understanding of core topics such as probability and statistics, engineering economics, manufacturing processes, systems design, and operations research. It serves as a critical benchmark of competency for recent engineering graduates and early-career professionals, validating their readiness to apply engineering principles under the supervision of a licensed PE. Earning the FE credential is a prerequisite for the subsequent Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam, which grants full licensure. This certification is widely recognized by employers, government agencies, and clients as a hallmark of technical proficiency, ethical commitment, and dedication to the engineering profession.

A public agency asks an engineer to omit a known limitation from a feasibility report because the limitation may reduce grant funding. The limitation does not make the project impossible, but it affects operating cost estimates materially. What is the engineer's duty?
A design FMEA lists severity 9, occurrence 3, and detection 6 for a failure mode. After adding an automated detection check, detection improves to 3 while severity and occurrence remain unchanged. How does the RPN change?
A planner forecasts monthly demand with exponential smoothing. Last month's forecast was 980 units, actual demand was 1040 units, and alpha is 0.30. What is the forecast for the next month?
A regression of labor hours on number of changeovers gives hours = 42 + 1.8(changeovers), with R^2 = 0.64. For a week with 25 changeovers, which interpretation is most appropriate?
A parts washer requires 18 minutes of machine time per tote. The department must wash 160 totes during an 8-hour shift. Each washer is available 85% of the shift after changeovers and minor stops. What minimum number of washers is required?
