The Florida Board of Professional Engineers (FBPE) requires every student applicant to obtain a certification from their school to show their “Good Standing”, before being allowed to sit for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering feels that it bears the responsibility of assuring good academic standing of its undergraduate students through a readiness evaluation procedure, as follows:

1. The student must have completed all the prerequisite courses listed on the "FE Exam Readiness Evaluation matrix" with a minimum grade of C.

2. The student must take and pass the CGN 4980 (FE Seminar) course before the deadline to complete the FE application package to the FBPE. This will require the student to take CGN 4980 the semester prior to the one in which he/she will sit for the FE exam.
