The average pass rate for engineering students taking the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination (the first step toward licensing as a professional engineer) exceeds the national average by 30 percentage points (91.3 vs 62.8 since 1983). In fact, the pass rate was 100% in 1998! Engineering students regularly place very well in regional and national competitions, such as the national APS Electric Vehicle race held in Phoenix, Arizona (second place in 1999; highest place for a university team) and the International Environmental Design contest (first place in 1996, and second place in 1997 and 1998).
University of Idaho students have won Fulbright scholarships, Rhodes scholarships and Truman scholarships.
