How to become a P.E.

In the United States, engineers are licensed at the state level by professional licensing boards when
they meet a combination of requirements in education, exams, and experience. Most state licensing
boards require the following:

Education
Generally, engineering licensing boards require P.E. candidates to have an EAC/ABET-accredited
bachelor’s degree. The ABET website allows you to search for accredited programs (select EAC in
the "accredited by" field).

Exams
Licensure candidates must pass the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam and the Principals and
Practice of Engineering (PE) exam.

Experience
Most states require four years of acceptable, progressive, and verifiable work experience in the
industry.
