SUMMARY

A professional engineer (PE) is a licensed individual who has met specific educational, experience, and examination requirements, typically holding a degree in engineering or a closely related field. In many cases, a bachelor's degree in physics can qualify an individual for the engineering licensing process, provided they meet the necessary criteria set by their state's licensing board. The path to becoming a PE involves passing the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam, gaining relevant work experience, and passing the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of engineering principles and practices.
  • Familiarity with the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam.
  • Knowledge of state licensing requirements for professional engineers.
  • Experience in a relevant engineering field.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the requirements for obtaining a Professional Engineer license in your state.
  • Study for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam.
  • Explore the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam content and format.
  • Gain practical experience through internships or entry-level engineering positions.
USEFUL FOR

Engineering students, aspiring professional engineers, and individuals seeking to understand the licensing process for engineers.
