SUMMARY

A Professional Engineer (PE) license is not required for both majors if pursuing a double major in engineering fields such as Electrical and Mechanical Engineering or Mechanical and Chemical Engineering. The process begins with taking the Engineer in Training (EIT) exam, followed by the PE exam in the specific engineering discipline in which one seeks registration. Therefore, candidates should focus on the PE exam relevant to their primary field of study.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Engineer in Training (EIT) exam process
  • Knowledge of the requirements for obtaining a Professional Engineer (PE) license
  • Familiarity with engineering disciplines such as Electrical, Mechanical, and Chemical Engineering
  • Awareness of state-specific licensing regulations for engineers
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specific requirements for the PE exam in Electrical Engineering
  • Explore the process for obtaining a PE license in Mechanical Engineering
  • Study the differences in licensing requirements for Chemical Engineering
  • Learn about state-specific regulations and resources for engineering licensure
USEFUL FOR

Engineering students, aspiring Professional Engineers, and academic advisors guiding students in navigating dual degree programs and licensure requirements.

Im curious to know about this. Let's see i do a double major in Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering for example or Mechanical and chemical Engineering. Do i need to do take the PE exam for both engineerings?

The first step is to take the EIT. Then, you would take the PE in the field in which you want to become registered.
