Students completing one of these degrees may wish to seek professional licensing as part of their career development. Being a licensed engineer is required in some fields (particularly civil engineering), and is strongly recommended in most other engineering fields.
The licensing process in the United States differs slightly from state to state. In New York State, the process is as follows:
- Pass the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam
- Complete a number of years of professional experience, typically working directly for or with other licensed Professional Engineers.
- Complete the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam.
