As of July 1st, 2020, the NCEES has made minor updates across all FE exam disciplines.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://ncees.org/engineering/fe/|title=NCEES FE exam information|website=www.ncees.org}}</ref> For example, the topic "Computational Tools" was removed for the civil and mechanical disciplines. In other cases, topics and subtopics have been merged or combined.

Those who pass the exam are sometimes designated [[Engineer In Training]] or, [[Engineer Intern]], [[EIT]], depending on their state's licensure board's approach to recognizing those who are partway through the licensure process. Many engineering firms will judge an engineering job applicant based on whether they have passed the FE exam and registration as an EIT. Passing the FE Exam shows that an applicant has not forgotten basic fundamental engineering principles they learned as an undergraduate student.<ref>https://www.directhub.net/are-your-undergraduate-studies-preparing-you-for-the-fe-exam/</ref> After obtaining a given amount of work experience (the length of which is set by state law and may be based on the type of degree received), an EIT/EI may qualify to take the [[Principles and Practice in Engineering Exam|Professional Engineer]] (PE) exam. Actual licensure can then be applied for and awarded upon successful completion of the PE exam. The standard time of work experience (which may need to be under a [[Professional Engineer]]) is four years in most US states, for graduates of an ABET-accredited engineering program.
