In general, the path to professional licensure in engineering will consist of obtaining a four-year engineering degree, taking and passing the FE Electrical exam, earning at least four years of engineering experience, and then taking and passing the PE Electrical exam. The PE Electrical exam is the final step for individuals seeking their professional engineering license.
Before Taking the Exam
Before you can sit for the PE Electrical exam, you must fulfill certain requirements specified by NCEES. Although each state may have different licensing requirements, they typically will all require the following: a four-year degree from an accredited program, a passing grade on the FE, over four years of engineering experience, a background check, and a detailed work experience report. Because state requirements all vary, we suggest checking with your state board to make sure you are following the right guidelines.
