States that allow Engineering FE Exam with No Degree

Hello,
Does anyone know which states allow examinees to take the Electrical and Computer Fundamentals of Engineering exam without having an undergraduate degree in engineering?

I know that Texas allows graduate students enrolled in a master's or Ph.D. engineering program to take the test, but I don't know of any other states with such "liberal" policies.

If memory serves well, I think Ohio permits students without an undergrad degree in Engineering to sit for the FE exam. In order to get your PE license you will need to have a lot of years of experience, and I mean a lot. There are many other states that have similar policies.

I hope it helped

 

Greetings.

Some time ago I did quite a bit of research in to all things PE related (except for the actual engineering <g>).

According to a representative of the licensure board of New Hampshire (Live free or die!), in response to my query:

By "anyone", I believe that they meant anyone with a high school diploma. Then again, perhaps they really do mean anyone at all. One really shouldn't need to pre-screened applicants for a well designed test. The fact that most states do pre-screen suggest something, although I'm not sure what.

I believe (???) that it is more typical for state boards to require a would-be EIT test-taker to have some combination of education and/or experience before letting him take the test. What qualifies as education or experience is not necessarily consistent or self-evident (or rational <g>). You can see the requirements of each state board by visiting the extremely helpful web site www.ppi2pass.com (they also sell EIT/PE/etc. test prep stuff; if only to say thanks, buy something!). "Click" on "State Board Info" (left side) and then search away! Don't forget to verify your findings!

Good luck, and do pass along any information you discover! (I can't do everything myself. <g>)


Cordially,
