The specifications for the computer-based test (cbt) version of the fundamentals of engineering (fe) exam for the electrical and computer branch, effective from july 2020. The exam consists of 110 questions covering various topics such as mathematics, probability and statistics, ethics and professional practice, engineering economics, properties of electrical materials, circuit analysis, linear systems, signal processing, electronics, power systems, electromagnetics, control systems, communications, computer networks, digital systems, and computer systems. The exam duration is 6 hours, and it includes a tutorial and an optional scheduled break. The exam uses both the international system of units (si) and the u.s. Customary system (uscs).
