Very quick question

Very quick question

Very quick question

(OP)
I took the FE exam yesterday and am very confident that I passed. I've been out of school and working for a year. Does the year that I've been working prior to taking the FE count towards my 4 years of experience required for the PE? I know I should probably check what my state says about this but I was just wondering if anyone knew.

RE: Very quick question

Yes.

RE: Very quick question

Hmmm...I think you'd better check with your board...not so sure it does.  I seem to remember seeing some wording in some state's requirements that mandate "after" the EIT status is achieved.

RE: Very quick question

Depends on the state.  In some states you can take both exams in the same weekend (not my idea of a really fun time).

RE: Very quick question


Yeah, you better check the actual state board.  I live in PA and it says something along the lines of "4 years of experience AFTER recieving EIT".  It used to not be like that though.  I think they recently changed that rule.  You used to be able to take the FE and PE exams at the same time if you wanted.
