    The steps to become a licensed engineer are: 1) Graduating from an ABET-accredited program, 2) Passing the FE exam, 3) Gaining 4 years of work experience under a professional engineer, 4) Passing the PE exam.

    The requirements for taking the FE exam are graduating with at least 84 credit hours in an ABET-accredited engineering program and preparing by taking practice questions and attending preparation classes.

    Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam: a required step in the process for obtaining engineering licensure (Professional Engineer (PE)

    License)

    Engineering licensure - what is it? Licensure Demonstrates that you've accomplished a recognized standard Sets you apart from others in your profession Provides career options and opportunities that might not have been available otherwise Serves as a protection of public health, safety, and welfare Is legally required to offer your services as a consultant

    How do I get licensed?


    Step 1 Graduation

    The first step is graduating from an ABET-accredited engineering program. You can take the exam 84 CR HRS toward an ABET accredited degree by the time you apply to take the exam.
    Step 2

    FE Exam The first exam in the licensure process is the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE). This exam is offered in April and October every year. Work Experience In general, four years under a Professional Engineer.

    Why bother with licensure? Your career could last 40 years or more. Changes can take place. Only licensed professionals are allowed to offer their services to the public and sign and seal plans for the public. This path can lead you to higher wages, a wider range of career opportunities, and a higher level of respect and credibility among your engineering peers.

    Why take the FE now? 75% pass rate now (higher for CU) 52% pass rate in two years But, dont take the FE if you arent going to take it seriously. Results reflect on everyone at CU. Pass rates are known to employers and other schools.
    Prepare now Attend FE preparation classes in Spring 2011. Take practice questions on web.
