Registering for the PE Exam
Registering for the PE Exam
(OP)
I'm a mechanical engineer living and working in Illinois. I'm trying to apply for my PE.
I graduated with my B.S.M.E. from Marquette University in Milwaukee four years ago, and took and passed the EIT exam when I graduated. The whole process is completely disorganized, I'm trying to get information from one bureaucracy to another and there are no clear instructions. I THINK this is what needs to happen:
// STEPS TO APPLY FOR ILLINOIS PE EXAM
1. Apply for NCEES ID# [http://www.ncees.org/]
2. Apply to Continental Testing Services (the exam administrator), using your NCEES ID#. Fill out the online form and pay online with a credit card. [http://www.continentaltesting.net/ProfDetail.aspx?...]
3. Obtain an original copy of your college transcript, to prove you graduated (look around your college's website)
4. Obtain proof that you passed the EIT exam from the state that you took it in (Wisconsin in my case).
I'm really struggling with #4 - I took and passed my EIT exam, but I don't have the "license number" for it. There's a look up page [http://online.drl.wi.gov/LicenseLookup/IndividualC...] but I can't find myself searching by Engineer In Training, and also can't find classmates who I know passed the exam (it's just a last name search). Did I fail to send something in after the test? Do I need to do something to "activate" my EIT certification?
Has anyone done this successfully? How did you find your EIT license number for another state while trying to apply for the PE in another.

I never did this either after graduating but this usually doesn't matter. For each PE license or the NCEES Record, I request Pennsylvania to send my test results to whichever agency I am seeking a PE license and they send my test results to that State agency.

Might try again and find someone who knows whats going on. You might have to remind them that I(we) pay their salaries!! Usually catches their attention.
OR ask for a supervisor.

Once you pass the PE you will need to do this each time you need another PE licenses through comity. It may be easier now to send your official college transcripts and obtain an EIT number for the future.

3. Obtain an original copy of your college transcript, to prove you graduated (look around your college's website). You will probably have to pay a fee.
4. Send form CT-ENG to the state where you took your EIT / FE Exam, requesting that they fill it in and send it back to you. You will probably have to pay a fee.
5. Send your transcript and form CT-ENG to Continental Testing Services to complete your application.
