PE in Materials

PE in Materials

PE in Materials

(OP)
I'm two years out of school with one year in the metalcasting industry. I'm looking around for next steps professionally. I'm curious how worthwhile a PE in materials is? What kind of doors can it open? What kind of pay increase? How would I find a PE in materials to work under?

Are there any other qualifications worth getting. I'm thinking patent agent. NACE? NDE?

Thanks,

lkrzyzan

RE: PE in Materials

Testing labs often have PEs

RE: PE in Materials

For Materials forensics, the minimum is a PE. A PhD is preferred.

Good luck,

RE: PE in Materials

A PE in Materials/Metallurgy will allow you to consult as an Engineer. It has been very rewarding for me before and now, after retirement.

RE: PE in Materials

I use my PE in metallurgy for consulting work as well. It has been very rewarding, both financially and professionally.

RE: PE in Materials

ASNT Level III or equivalent (out of USA) certification can be rewarding.

As a non-consultant working directly for an EPC firm, I have only sealed three reports during the past 14 years. I will say that obtaing my P.E. license was strongly recommended by my employer as a sales tool.

Thanks all,

Looks like I'll try for the FE, probably in April.
