SUMMARY
The Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam is recognized nationally, allowing graduates to pursue engineering licensure across state lines. A candidate who passed the FE exam in Arizona does not need to retake it when seeking employment in another state, provided they confirm with the respective state engineering licensing board to ensure their records are accessible. The discussion highlights the importance of verifying the recognition of the exam and the potential implications of time elapsed since passing, specifically noting that a four-year gap does not invalidate the exam results.
