PE Exam in ECE: Computer Engineering

Part 1: Summary

Professional Engineering Licensing is an official recognition that exhibits an engineer’s devotion to a higher level of principles. It also demonstrates a person’s higher levels of responsibility and authority. Again, professional engineering licensing acts as a protection to the public by enforcing values that restrict practice to competent individuals who have met particular credentials in learning, work experience as well as in the exam. The whole process of licensure is carried out and regulated by the state government. For instance, engineers in the United States are licensed at the state level by respective professional licensing boards. Further, I have learned that the NCEES is the one responsible for developing and scoring the FE and PE exams for engineering licensure.

Part 2: Interest in PE exam

I think the PE Exam in ECE-Computer Engineering test closest to my interest is to ensure that the minimum level of competency in my engineering discipline is achieved. The state is performing a great work which helps to minimize the number of unauthorized and incompetent engineers from flooding the market as well as ensuring quality work is done in the state.

Part 3: Questions

How many attempts is one given after failing the PE test?

Is the PE license obtained in the state universal documentation?

What happens to other engineers from other countries who have gained a minimum of four years’ post-college work experience in their chosen engineering discipline or have attained a PE license from their state and want to work in California State?

Part 4: My Plan to prepare for the test

For the first criteria (Power) I can take a class in Mathematics and physics (Math 123 and phys 152).

For the second criteria (Power) I can take a class Capstone (EE 430 Analog Electronic Circuits II)

For the third criteria (Power) I can take a class in Math and Science (EE 220 Materials Science for Electrical Engineers)

For the fourth criteria (Power) I can take a class in Electronics EE 202.
