The Importance of being a Licensed Engineer © Cici Mattiuzzi 9/20/07


When things are great in the labor market people think it will last forever. Unfortunately that is never the case. Having a backup plan is required. One of the most important things you can do regardless of your major is to have a professional license. It gives you the ability to work in more environments and it allows you to slip from industry to government to self-employment with ease. You need to have job options in order to have income security. A professional license gives you those options.


Over time it is also important to have a license for your career growth. For engineers, many organizations will sort candidates based on whether they have an Engineering-in-Training (EIT) at the bachelor’s level and for experienced engineers the Professional Engineer license (PE). The EIT leads to the PE as you acquire “qualifying experience” and pass an exam. For computer professionals, many employers are looking for Project Management (PM) certification.


With many government agencies you cannot even apply for an engineering position if you do not have an EIT. In order to advance beyond staff engineer (or to be referred to as an engineer) in many jobs, licensing is required. Without reasonable progress to the PE in other organizations you will be terminated.


Not all jobs require licensing. Some companies have an “Industrial Exemption”. With an Industrial Exemption engineers working at the company don’t need to be licensed. However, a number of engineers needing to change jobs find it difficult to shift industries without an engineering license. I have had numerous engineers employed in the electronics industry tell me that when they were trying to move into a government agency after a layoff they were passed over because they failed to take the EIT exam. Private industry tends to run hot and cold so you need to be prepared to explore opportunities in government or private practice.


Passing the PE is a challenge. It is also difficult to pass the EIT, more so with the passage of time after graduation. The pass rates for California averages around a 40% pass rate for the FE/EIT and PE according to the CA Board of Registration. For the Electrical PE the pass rate hovers around 20% and has gone as low as 11% in some years. To pass the exams, a score of at least 70% is needed. It is not hard to understand why people do not pass the exam. THIS IS A DIFFICULT EXAM YET only 20% of test takers prepare for the exam by taking a review course.


It is certainly not difficult to find a review course. EIT review courses are offered every semester here in the College of Engineering and Computer Science at CSUS. In addition, engineering the CA Society of Professional Engineers offers seminars and review courses for the FE/EIT and PE exams.


Dennis Dahlquist, PE, who is on faculty at CSUS College of Engineering and Computer Science offers some sage advice to individuals interested in becoming licensed. He indicates that with his course the pass rates reach 85%. Here are the details.


Steps to Becoming a P.E.


1. Acquire a Bachelors (BS) or a Masters (MS) engineering degree from an ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology www.abet.org) accredited school. You will receive four years of credit for your PE by graduating from an accredited university.

2. Take the FE, the first exam on the way to a professional license is the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE). The FE exam is often refereed to as the “EIT” exam. Once the FE exam is passed, an Engineer In Training (EIT) license is issued. Take the FE in your junior or senior year when the information is still fresh. If it has been awhile since taking engineering courses a more extensive review is needed. Professional review courses are tailored for people who have been out of college for some time.

3. Rack up qualifying years of experience. After working in an engineering position for the requisite number of years, take the Professional Engineer (PE) exam. Time required varies based upon education, discipline, and state. Exams are grouped by discipline (CE, ME, EE, etc.). To pass the PE exam a review course is highly recommended.

hazardous substances. Fewer hazardous substances means less hazardous waste, less air emissions, fewer
natural resources consumed, less wastewater, and an overall healthier environment. The California Green Chemistry Initiative is an opportunity for businesses, their consultants, academia,
and others to become involved in developing guidelines for establishing a blueprint for keeping
California in the forefront of protecting health and the environment in a robust economy. Green
Chemistry can make a difference! California is leading the effort to fundamentally change the way it
deals with its chemicals and waste. The Green Chemistry web site provides all interested parties a forum

Have you thought about studying abroad but wondered where to start?  Start at the Study Abroad Fair on
campus in the library quad. The date is Wednesday, September 26, from 9:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. Pick up
information and talk to past participants and current international students of the CSU International
Programs and our own university study abroad programs. It is your chance to ask questions! Participants
of the CSU and our university study abroad programs earn resident credit and pay the same registration
fees as if they took classes on our Sacramento campus. Financial aid applies and scholarships are
available. Call the Office of Global Education at 278-6686 or come into Lassen Hall 2304 for more
information on the fair and on studying abroad. Monica Freeman Coordinator, International Programs Global Education
