honestly my main struggle I think results from not having a good place to study at home, and I'm no longer a student so don't have access to their facilities
Hello, I had a weird career in engineering. I am in the military and recently got my industrial engineering degree. I plan on continuing my education to a masters in mechanical engineering fluids or design. Is a fe or pe right for me? I plan on taking the fe before i get my masters and would like to get it in mechanical to avoid career misalignment. Is this advisable
@grimshadow415 Whether or not you should take the FE or PE exam depends on your career goals. If you plan to work as a professional engineer in a civilian capacity, then getting a PE license is necessary. However, if you plan to continue your career in the military, then getting a PE license is not required. Taking the FE exam before getting your masters in mechanical engineering is a good idea, as it will show potential employers that you have a strong foundation in engineering fundamentals. It will also give you a head start on the PE exam, which you will need to take if you want to become a licensed professional engineer. I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Hi, I am Rahul from India. I have completed Bachelors in Engg. in Electronics & instrumentation. Thereafter, I worked for 3 years in a construction project in the same field of study before switching to technical sales, where I worked close to 6 years. I am in Sydney, Canada studying post-graduate diploma in Business mgmt. I want to know, whether I begin as EIT or am I eligible to write PE exam directly? May i ask your name and email address to contact you further?
@rahulshrestha4363 Hi Rahul, Whether you begin as an Engineer-in-Training (EIT) or are eligible to write the Professional Engineer (PE) exam directly depends on your specific qualifications and experience, as well as the requirements of the engineering association in the province or territory where you want to practice. In general, to be eligible to write the PE exam, you must have: *A bachelor's degree in engineering from an accredited engineering program *Four years of engineering work experience under the supervision of a licensed engineer *Passed a professional ethics exam *If you have a bachelor's degree in engineering from an accredited engineering program and four years of engineering work experience, you should be eligible to write the PE exam, regardless of whether you have worked as a technical salesperson or not. However, some engineering associations may have additional requirements for PE exam eligibility. For example, the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia (APEGBC) requires that PE exam candidates have at least two years of engineering work experience that is relevant to the engineering discipline in which they want to be licensed. To determine your eligibility for the PE exam, I recommend that you contact the engineering association in the province or territory where you want to practice. In the meantime, you can begin your engineering career as an EIT. EITs are allowed to perform engineering work under the supervision of a licensed engineer. Once you have completed your postgraduate diploma in business management and passed the PE exam, you will be able to apply for a PE license. I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
