Food Engineering? Forensic Engineering?So, I, with my Masters education, could just sit an exam to become an actual "Engineer"? How much does it cost and when are they scheduled?
And what kind of engineer is an "FE"?
EE = Electrical Engineer
ME = Mechanical Engineer
CE = Chemical, Civil, or Computer Engineer (depending on context)
FE = ???
Taking a test does not make one an engineering. In fact, the vast majority of engineers I know and work with are not licensed PE's. That's typically the domain of civil engineers. Of the EE's that became PE's, they'll be the first to say that it hasn't opened any doors for them.
IIRC, "the test", the EIT, is the first part of becoming a PE. The second is work experience and recommendations by others PE's.
