Explained: What It Takes To Be A Professional Engineer In Kenya- Eng. Margaret Ogai, CEO- EBK 

Engineer Margret I admire your confidence and grasp of what goes on in the engineering world.

Our children are graduate engineers but it comes as a surprise that the engineering career path ends there.

Good to see CEO Eng. Ogai. Spice Fm is the best

Here at US, you sit for Fundamentals of Engineering(FE) exam after you graduate either bachelors, masters or phd in engineering. You then get the EIT designation which means Engineer in Training. FE is a 6hrs long exam. After you pass it, you then work under a licensed professional engineer for 4 years then you apply to sit for professional engineer exam which is an 8hrs long exam. You will also need 5 professional engineers (PE) to recommend you to be licensed. You will then use the credential PE in your emails and business cards. Every state has its own board that administers professional licensures and engineering firm licensure. There is also comity licensure if you are already license PE in a different state.

Finding engineers is difficult ?...

What happened to school of engineering...that was to work like Kenya school of law That will sort the transition from GE to PE..

Wait, so those taking B Tech won't be full on engineers and can't work in their own independent firms but under another engineer?

What about jua kali artisan making wonderful products in Kariobangi aren't they engineers

You graduate as an Engineer to work as a bank teller not very prudent use of resources

Big scam, these guys do nothing but collect registration and license fees
