Saudi Council of Engineers

The SCE FE Industrial discipline exam is a 3-hour computer-based test with 50 multiple-choice questions in English, administered by Qiyas. The discipline portion costs 400 SAR (800 SAR total with the 90-question general part). Each part is scored pass/fail on a scaled basis; SCE/Qiyas do not publish a fixed percentage threshold. This practice bank targets the industrial discipline syllabus for Associate Engineer credentialing.

1A firm maximizes profit Z = 40x + 30y subject to 2x + y ≤ 100 and x, y ≥ 0. At the corner point (50, 0), the profit is:
A.1,500
B.2,000
C.2,500
D.3,000
Explanation: Substitute x = 50, y = 0 into Z = 40x + 30y → Z = 40(50) + 30(0) = 2,000.
2In an M/M/1 queuing system, arrival rate λ = 8 customers/hour and service rate μ = 10 customers/hour. The average number in the system L is:
A.0.8
B.2.0
C.4.0
D.8.0
Explanation: For M/M/1: L = λ/(μ − λ) = 8/(10 − 8) = 8/2 = 4.0 customers in the system.
3Annual demand D = 12,000 units, ordering cost S = 100 SAR/order, and holding cost H = 2 SAR/unit/year. The economic order quantity (EOQ) is:
A.600 units
B.1,095 units
C.1,200 units
D.2,400 units
Explanation: EOQ = √(2DS/H) = √(2 × 12000 × 100 / 2) = √1,200,000 ≈ 1,095 units.
4In decision analysis, the expected monetary value (EMV) of a gamble with 60% chance of +10,000 SAR and 40% chance of −4,000 SAR is:
A.2,000 SAR
B.4,400 SAR
C.6,000 SAR
D.10,000 SAR
Explanation: EMV = 0.6(10,000) + 0.4(−4,000) = 6,000 − 1,600 = 4,400 SAR.
5A shadow price (dual value) in LP indicates:
A.The rate of change in objective value per unit increase in a binding constraint RHS
B.The optimal primal variable value
C.The number of basic variables
D.The probability of infeasibility
Explanation: Shadow price shows marginal worth of relaxing a binding constraint by one unit, holding other data constant.
6In an assignment problem with n workers and n jobs, the Hungarian method finds:
A.A minimum-cost one-to-one assignment
B.Maximum flow in a network
C.EOQ for each worker
D.Regression coefficients
Explanation: The Hungarian algorithm solves the balanced assignment problem, pairing each worker to exactly one job at minimum total cost.
7A PERT activity has optimistic time 4 days, most likely 6 days, and pessimistic 10 days. The expected duration te is:
A.5.0 days
B.6.0 days
C.6.3 days
D.7.0 days
Explanation: PERT expected time te = (a + 4m + b)/6 = (4 + 4×6 + 10)/6 = 38/6 ≈ 6.3 days.
8For M/M/1 with λ = 9/hr and μ = 12/hr, average time in system W (hours) is:
A.0.11
B.0.25
C.0.33
D.1.00
Explanation: W = 1/(μ − λ) = 1/(12 − 9) = 1/3 ≈ 0.33 hour.
9The simplex method iterates by:
A.Moving along edges of the feasible polytope to improve the objective
B.Randomly sampling feasible points
C.Enumerating all corner points without improvement rule
D.Solving a system of nonlinear equations
Explanation: Simplex pivots between adjacent basic feasible solutions on constraint boundaries, improving the objective until optimality.
10The 5th percentile female stature is most relevant when designing:
A.Maximum reach height limits for overhead controls
B.Minimum reach for floor-level access
C.Eye height for seated workstations targeting shorter users
D.Door height clearance only
Explanation: Overhead maximum reach height limits use 5th percentile female reach so even shorter users can access controls; 5th percentile governs reach dimensions while 95th percentile male governs clearances.

About the SCE FE Industrial Exam

The SCE Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Industrial discipline exam is the specialized portion of the Qiyas-administered FE credentialing pathway for industrial engineers in Saudi Arabia. After passing the 90-question general engineering session, candidates sit a 50-question, 3-hour industrial discipline exam covering operations research, ergonomics, production systems, quality engineering, engineering economy, facilities planning, and professional practice. Passing both parts supports SCE Associate Engineer classification.

SCE FE Industrial Study Tips from Top Performers

1Practice formulating two-variable linear programming problems graphically and identifying binding constraints at the optimum.
2Memorize key queuing formulas for M/M/1 systems: L = λ/(μ − λ), W = 1/(μ − λ), and utilization ρ = λ/μ.
3Work through EOQ, economic production quantity, and safety stock calculations with consistent units.
4Master X-bar and R chart control limits and interpret out-of-control patterns (runs, trends, cycles).
5Review present worth and annual worth comparisons using a stated minimum attractive rate of return (MARR).
6Study NIOSH lifting equation variables (horizontal distance, vertical height, asymmetry) for manual handling problems.
