Post QFE Operation

We are about to install EGPWC with provision for calculation of geometric altitude, thus enabling us to operate in QFE environment. Anyone who can tell me what QFE stands for. Also, are the letters QFE an abbreviation ?
As I’m in engineering, not a pilot, I could like to hear from someone knowledgeable where or when we are in QFE environment.

What are QNH and QNE, as opposed to QFE ? Explanations appreciated.
