What Is a PE Electrical Engineer? • PE stands for Professional Engineer. A PE (professional engineer) is an electrical engineer who has achieved a professional engineer certification. The scope of your responsibilities differs from employer to employer. • On the other hand, professional engineers are responsible for constructing and designing electrical systems or components. • Suppose you become a senior member of an engineering program or team. In that case, you have to work on developing projects, managing document reviews and are responsible for the approval of your junior designers or engineers before the work is implemented. • A PE electrical engineer can examine or review present electrical components or systems and report them.
How Do You Become a PE Engineer? • If you are looking forward to having a career as a PE electrical engineer, it would require some basic qualifications and education. Typically a bachelor’s degree in engineering will help provide you with the necessary knowledge and skills. • After you have obtained your degree, you need to pass the fundamentals in engineering (FE) to become an engineer in training. From here, you need to have four years of professional experience before taking (and passing) the principle and practice in the engineering exam. • This will qualify you as a professional engineer (PE). The whole process of becoming a PE sounds difficult, but it’s all worth it.
What are the Advantages of PE Licensing? • Flexibility: • Flexibility is one of the major advantages of PE licensing. If you own a PE license, then you can avail many career options. You can easily become a specialist or establish your own business. • The license protects you from industry downsizing or outsourcing. It allows you to go as far as your initiative and passions take you. If one path doesn’t work for you, there are many others you can walk on. • From creating the Global Positioning System to the electric power generation system, electrical engineers have a great role in making the world better. If there were no electrical engineers, the world would have been different from what it is today.
Proves that you think long term: • Every organization has the desire that they receive more PE professionals. Not only will this mean that you’ll be an amazing asset to the company. It also assures them of employees’ preservation for at least four years. • Everyone wants a person in their company who thinks of things long-term. Or else, it’s always going to be a disturbance for the company and employees themselves.
Complements more worth to your resume: • No doubt you may have achieved outstanding marks or grades in your pre-graduate engineering studies, but that is not all. You still might have to work your way up to achieve something better. • Possible business managers/owners tend to hire candidates dedicated to their job, competitive, and who want to polish themselves along the way.
High earning potential • By giving the PE (Professional Engineer) exams, one might get a chance to achieve PE licensure, which is a symbol of achievement and assurance of quality. You can get the PE licence by either working for a company or setting up your own. • It will ultimately increase your earning potential as you will be the best of the best. Then why wouldn’t you be paid high? • So, if you’re the one who seeks independence more than anything else, you must prepare your best for the PE exam.
How Hard is the Electrical PE Exam? • The most challenging part of the PE exam is probably trying to be focused on the PE exam for a straight 8 hours. This exam can be very exhausting as it has a long duration! It can be pretty hard to get ready for this experience. • You can think ahead and pack yourself a few snacks or maybe even energy drinks to take into the examination hall with you. • The Electrical PE exam is an 8-hour long exam, but it is split into AM and PM time divisions. It contains around 80 total questions, 40 multiple choice questions you have to solve in a 4-hour AM window and the other in the 4-hour PM window. • The FE exam is harder and tougher than the Professional Engineer (PE) exam because it is more wide-ranging. It’s best to take it as close to graduation as you can, with all that schooling still fresh in your mind. For me, getting a PE was my default goal after graduation.
Is it Worth Getting a PE License? • A PE license is not an obligation for some engineering jobs, recently engineering graduates have to rethink or have second thought if they want to become a PE because it takes a huge amount of work and effort to become a PE. • In some engineering fields like electrical engineering, a PE license is useful, but it is commonly not a requirement for engineering jobs.
PE Exam Computer-Based? • It is commonly asked whether the PE exam is computer-based checking. Well, the answer to that is quite simple. The principle and practice of engineering (PE) civil is moving towards having computer-based checking. • Appointments are available throughout the year at Pearson VUE test centers beginning on April 1, 2022. The exam will be offered in the same old pencil and paper format that has been used for decades. • CBT (computer-based testing) is advantageous as a man can easily make mistakes. So you won’t worry about not achieving the deserved marks.
Conclusion • The PE exam can be difficult, but you can easily get a distinction with the right guide and continuous effort. It is noteworthy that the more time you invest in your study, the more it will be reflected in your result. There are many different tips to apply for that only work if you desire to pass!
