PEB - PE Registration Examinations

The Singapore Fundamentals of Engineering Examination (FEE) is the first examination toward Professional Engineer registration, run by the Professional Engineers Board (PEB). FEE Part 1 is a 40-question, open-book multiple-choice paper lasting 3 hours and 10 minutes, testing breadth-of-discipline fundamentals at the level of the first two years of a four-year engineering degree. From 2026 the FEE is offered in four branches: civil, electrical, mechanical and chemical engineering. Results are Pass/Fail only, with no marks released, and are mailed within twelve weeks. This 100-question bank gives original SI-unit practice across statics and mechanics of materials, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and heat transfer, electrical circuits and power, control basics, materials, engineering mathematics and chemical-engineering principles.

Sample Singapore FEE Part 1 Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your Singapore FEE Part 1 exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A steel rod of cross-sectional area 200 mm2 carries an axial tensile force of 40 kN. What is the normal (axial) stress in the rod?

A.50 MPa

B.100 MPa

C.200 MPa

D.400 MPa

Explanation: Normal stress is force divided by area: sigma = F/A = 40000 N / (200 x 10^-6 m2) = 200 x 10^6 Pa = 200 MPa. Always convert mm2 to m2 (divide by 10^6) when working in SI base units.

2A bar of length 2 m and Young's modulus 200 GPa is subjected to a uniform axial stress of 100 MPa. What is its axial elongation?

A.0.5 mm

B.1.0 mm

C.2.0 mm

D.4.0 mm

Explanation: Strain = stress/E = 100e6 / 200e9 = 5 x 10^-4. Elongation = strain x length = 5e-4 x 2 m = 1.0 x 10^-3 m = 1.0 mm. This uses Hooke's law for an axially loaded member.

3A simply supported beam of span 6 m carries a central point load of 12 kN. What is the maximum bending moment?

A.9 kN.m

B.18 kN.m

C.36 kN.m

D.72 kN.m

Explanation: For a central point load P on a simply supported span L, the maximum moment at midspan is PL/4 = 12 x 6 / 4 = 18 kN.m. The reactions are each P/2 = 6 kN.

4A simply supported beam of span L carries a uniformly distributed load w per unit length over its entire span. What is the maximum bending moment?

A.wL^2/8

B.wL^2/4

C.wL^2/2

D.wL^2/12

Explanation: For a simply supported beam under a full uniformly distributed load, the maximum moment occurs at midspan and equals wL^2/8. The reactions are each wL/2.

5A rectangular beam cross-section is 100 mm wide and 300 mm deep. What is its second moment of area about the horizontal centroidal axis?

A.112.5 x 10^6 mm^4

B.225 x 10^6 mm^4

C.67.5 x 10^6 mm^4

D.900 x 10^6 mm^4

Explanation: For a rectangle, I = b*d^3/12 = 100 x 300^3 / 12 = 100 x 27,000,000 / 12 = 225 x 10^6 mm^4. The depth is cubed, so orientation matters a great deal.

6A simply supported beam of span 4 m carries a uniformly distributed load of 10 kN/m. What is the reaction at each support?

A.10 kN

B.20 kN

C.40 kN

D.80 kN

Explanation: Total load = w x L = 10 x 4 = 40 kN. By symmetry each support carries half, so each reaction = 20 kN.

7A solid circular shaft of diameter 50 mm transmits a torque. The polar second moment of area J for a solid circle is given by which expression?

A.pi*d^4/32

B.pi*d^4/64

C.pi*d^3/16

D.pi*d^2/4

Explanation: For a solid circular section, the polar second moment of area is J = pi*d^4/32. The bending second moment is pi*d^4/64, exactly half of J, since J = Ix + Iy.

8A pin-ended (both ends pinned) column has length L, modulus E and second moment of area I. What is its Euler critical buckling load?

A.pi^2*E*I/L^2

B.4*pi^2*E*I/L^2

C.pi^2*E*I/(4*L^2)

D.pi^2*E*I/(2*L^2)

Explanation: Euler's formula for a column pinned at both ends gives Pcr = pi^2*E*I/L^2, since the effective length equals the actual length L. Other end conditions change the effective length factor.

9A cantilever beam of length L carries a point load P at its free end. What is the maximum bending moment, and where does it occur?

A.PL at the fixed end

B.PL/2 at midspan

C.PL at the free end

D.PL/4 at the fixed end

Explanation: For a cantilever with an end load P, the bending moment is zero at the free end and increases linearly to a maximum of PL at the fixed support, where the moment must be resisted.

10In a saturated soil, the total vertical stress at a depth is 180 kPa and the pore water pressure is 60 kPa. What is the effective vertical stress?

A.60 kPa

B.120 kPa

C.180 kPa

D.240 kPa

Explanation: Terzaghi's principle of effective stress states sigma' = sigma - u = 180 - 60 = 120 kPa. Effective stress governs the soil's shear strength and settlement behaviour.

About the Singapore FEE Part 1 Exam

The Fundamentals of Engineering Examination (FEE) is the first examination on the pathway to registration as a Professional Engineer in Singapore, administered by the Professional Engineers Board (PEB). The full FEE is a six-hour examination in a candidate's chosen branch, split into Part 1 and Part 2. Part 1 caters for breadth and comprises 40 multiple-choice questions on core engineering subjects typical of the first and second years of a four-year engineering degree, run over 3 hours and 10 minutes as an open-book paper. Part 2 caters for depth and is a separate written essay paper. From 2026 the FEE is offered in four branches: civil, electrical, mechanical and chemical engineering. Results are reported on a Pass/Fail basis only, with no marks released, and are mailed within twelve weeks. This 100-question bank provides original SI-unit MCQ practice across the core engineering-science fundamentals weighted across the four branches.

Singapore FEE Part 1 Study Tips from Top Performers

1Revise the breadth fundamentals from the first two years of an engineering degree: statics and mechanics of materials, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, circuits and basic chemistry, since Part 1 spreads 40 questions across these areas.

2Because the FEE is open-book, prepare an organised reference set with key formulas, property tables and worked examples you can find quickly rather than relying only on memory.

3Work every problem in consistent SI units and check unit cancellation at the end; many fundamentals questions are decided by a unit slip rather than a concept error.

4For FEE Civil 2026, practise to Eurocodes and the relevant Singapore Annexes, since answers based on other codes are not accepted (AASHTO is accepted only for transportation).

5Pace yourself at roughly four to five minutes per MCQ across the 3 hour 10 minute paper, flag long calculations, and return to them after securing the quicker conceptual questions.

6Use the official PEB FEE brochure syllabus and recommended reading lists to target weak subjects, and consider the Institution of Engineers Singapore preparatory courses if you need structured revision.

Frequently Asked Questions
