Getting an Engineering Licensure is probably the most important thing to do if you are going to be working in an engineering
field. According to the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES), in most of the states, students
may take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Examination in their junior or senior year while still attending a four-years
college or university that were accredited by EAC/ABET. The FE examination is an 8-hour supplied reference multiple choice
examination: 4-hours in the morning session and 4-hours in the afternoon session.
The FE exam covers the following topic areas in the morning session: Mathematics, Chemistry, Computers, Engineering
Probability and Statistics, Ethics and Business Practices, Fluid Mechanics, Strength of Materials, Material Properties, Electricity
and Magnetism Thermodynamics, Engineering Mechanics (Statics and Dynamics) and Engineering Economics. Read disclosure
The FE sometimes also refer as Engineering-in-trainning (EIT). The process and requirements for taking the FE exam may be
different in some states, Please contact your state boards for the guidlines. After passing the (FE), you will get a (EIT)
certificate. And with four-years of engineering working experiences, you may apply to take the 2nd and last exam : Principles
and Practice of Engineering (PE) examination. After passing the PE exam, you are finished in obtaining the Professional
Engineering Licensure, and you will be designated a title with initial P.E. meaning Professional Engineers. This may be the
highest rank in the engineering field. Note: Since laws and requirements may change at anytime, we suggest that you contact
your state board to gain more information in becoming a P.E..
The following books help you to succeed, take a minute to see how you can be prepared. We wish you all doing well in
obtaining the P.E.!
