This document includes applicant academic requirements for the NCEES FE and PE exams and for the Professional Engineer License. Some non-academic

requirements may be provided but may not be complete. The following information does not include other pertinent non-academic requirements of

individual state boards for eligibility of examination or licensure such as, but not limited to, fees, good moral character requirements, references,

sponsors, transcripts, continuing education requirements, background checks, social security number, US citizenship, or minimum age. Please note that

although we strive to keep this information up to date, requirements are subject to change without notice. It is in the student’s best interest to confirm

any information provided here with the appropriate state licensing board (links to state board websites provided). Also, you may visit the National

Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying website for more information.

NCEES exams: Before registering for an upcoming NCEES exam, review your unique approval and registration process for your state or territory from the

table below or from NCEES exam registration webpage.

The Fundamentals of Engineering exam (FE) is generally your first step in the process to becoming a professional licensed engineer (P.E.). It is designed

for recent graduates and students who are close to finishing an undergraduate engineering degree from an EAC/ABET-accredited program.

The Principles & Practice of Engineering exams (PE) test for a minimum level of competency in a particular engineering discipline. They are designed for

engineers who have gained a minimum of four years’ post-college work experience in their chosen engineering discipline.
