Why Become A Professional Engineer (PE)

[@kindaconservativeengineer2902]

Great video. Every engineer should strive for it. Good thing to have under your name. After I got licensed, the next morning my life changed completely. It will be a good year this year

[@alfonsoperez1762]

What was the salary increase by 4-20K? Just wondering 💭

[@javierfromvenezuela]

it's been a year, how good was it?

Thank you.

[@fdggfgdfgd251]

why would he want to put the minimum if the client is willing and arguing to go above that. that is silly

[@michaelescobar3746]

Did he just say a 7.5k raise for obtaining a license? A 7.5k raise seems quite small.

[@PassthePEExam]

Michael it really depends on the companies, some people have told us that $7,500 is a large raise for them.

[@alfonsoperez1762]

That’s about 2-3 dollar and hr increase

[@vivianledonghae4eify]

sometimes it not always about the $$$... being able to pass the PE exam is quiet challenging.

[@ITubeYouK]

I received a $5000 bonus for passing my exam and a 20k salary increase after I actually obtained my license.

[@eddiepacman2011]

Is this good for computer engineers

[@PassthePEExam]

@eddiepacman2011 While the video focuses on the PE license in general, it's definitely relevant for computer engineers. PE license = more credibility, better career options, and potential for higher pay. The specific requirements for obtaining a PE license in computer engineering can vary depending on your location. Be sure to research the licensing process in your area to understand the steps involved.

Thank you for this very interesting topic. SUGGESTION: How about doing a video on INTERNATIONAL RECIPROCITY, and how the US PE License compares and contrasts with Engineering Licenses from other countries (e. g. UK, Canada, etc.)?

[@PassthePEExam]

You are welcome Dwight and thank you for the suggestion. We will look into that.

hey, thank you for your excellent videos. I am a refugee who just arrived in the US, I have bachelor of Power Engineering from Afghanistan and I wanna know how to start PE, shall I validate my bachelor certificates first or I can proceed with FE now and start studying it easily?

[@magiala5577]

CA is complicated for Civil Engineers when it comes to certification for PE. Last time I checked (2017-2018) I think that state requires the PE exam, a seismic exam, and a third exam based in surveying (particularly light surveying).

Can you make a video on how to prepare for conceptual questions for FE exam?

Yes we will do!

@@PassthePEExam thank you!

[@ComicEnthusiast01]

What is FE exam?

[@stuckinthepast]

@@ComicEnthusiast01 Fundamentals of Engineering Exam, which is the first test required for the PE exam. If your engineering major leads to jobs which are to stamp and certify design plans this is the first step into getting all the necessary requirements to do so and is highly recommended to take around senior year while all the info is fresh. However, some fields may not care so much, like mine, Electrical. I've spoke to many EE and almost all do not have these certifications and you do not need the requirements to work for big companies such as Boeing.

Hello, thanks for this video. I have a question. Is it necessary to get supervision from other PE engineers when you try to get your PE in New York? For example, if I work at a company that does not have PE engineers, can I still get the PE after working on projects for over 4 years? I am young engineer, jus graduated and I am taking the FE next month, I am curious about that. I have been looking for information but seems to be kinda hard to find. I know in Texas you don't need to work on a company with PE engineers but, what about New York?

[@PassthePEExam]

In New York, to become a licensed Professional Engineer (PE), you generally need to meet specific requirements set by the New York State Education Department's Office of the Professions (NYSED). While I can provide general information, it's important to consult the NYSED or a qualified professional for the most accurate and up-to-date guidance. Here are some key points regarding the experience requirements for obtaining a PE license in New York: Engineering Experience: To be eligible for a PE license in New York, you typically need to have a combination of education and engineering work experience. The NYSED specifies that you must have at least 8 years of acceptable engineering experience, with a minimum of 4 years being progressive engineering experience beyond the Bachelor's degree. Supervision by a Licensed PE: It is common for engineering work experience to require supervision or oversight by a licensed Professional Engineer. The NYSED may require you to have a licensed PE serving as your supervisor or mentor during the experience period. This is to ensure that your work is in compliance with professional standards and regulations. Verification of Experience: As part of the licensure application, you will need to provide documentation and references to verify your engineering experience. This may include detailed work experience descriptions, supervisor references, and supporting documentation to demonstrate the nature and scope of your engineering work. Alternative Pathways: In some cases, if you do not have direct supervision by a licensed PE at your current workplace, you may explore alternative pathways to meet the experience requirements. For example, you might work under the supervision of a licensed PE on a project basis or engage in engineering work through external collaborations or consultancies. It's important to note that the NYSED may evaluate your experience on a case-by-case basis. They will assess the relevance, quality, and depth of your engineering work to determine if it meets the requirements for licensure. To obtain precise information about the specific requirements and procedures for obtaining a PE license in New York, it's recommended to contact the NYSED's Office of the Professions directly. They can provide you with comprehensive guidance tailored to your situation and clarify any questions or concerns you may have regarding the experience requirements in New York.

​@@PassthePEExam I will keep this in mind, it really helped me. One day, I will be a PE and will never forget how your videos have potentially encouraged me to go farther than just the degree. Thanks!

Great video

[@PassthePEExam]

Thank you

[@azapps]

I would not likely hire an engineer with a P.E. license in my engineering consulting company. We don't need it for the work we do, and I don't want to deal with someone who has to maintain their license that does nothing for my company. But if I were designing public infrastructure for the state, then a P.E. might be necessary.

[@PassthePEExam]

All industries are different, I agree the license isn't as applicable in all industries.

[@magiala5577]

What kind of engineering consulting do you do? And what state are you in? You be in the mechanical field or just a drafting drawings and sending them to engineering firms.

[@azapps]

@@magiala5577 We do electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and software development for consumer products, medical devices and aerospace, all for private companies across the country. There are a number of regulations and standards, FDA, FCC, MIL and other requirements that we design to. But none of our products or services fall within the licensing authority of the state.

[@dekev7503]

This certification is only relevant for traditional engineering careers. If you work in tech or certain niche Engineering fields like microchip design, etc, Employers couldn't care less.

[@PassthePEExam]

De Kev I would agree that the license is more important to certain fields, but even an engineer in software, could end up on their own consulting in 10 years from now and in that case, the license would be valuable.

[@dekev7503]

@@PassthePEExam there are countless software engineering consultants with their own companies that don't even have software engineering degrees. Like I said, when it comes to traditional engineering projects that require high safety standards, this certification might come in handy, as for many modern niche fields, your past projects and pedigree are more important than hour paper certification.

[@mecanuktutorials6476]

@@dekev7503glad someone mentioned this. The PE is for public safety first and foremost. Engineering services he’s talking about are Civil and Power projects. It’s not useful in the slightest for Entrepreneurs or managers unless you want to append “P. Eng” to your name to impress MBAs and CxOs.
