What is a PE?
PE licensure is the engineering profession’s highest standard of competence, a symbol of achievement and assurance of quality.
Why get licensed?
Licensure is the mark of a professional. It’s a standard recognized by employers and their clients, by governments, and by the public as an assurance of dedication, skill, and quality.
How to get licensed?
Though the specific requirements for licensure can differ from state to state, licensure candidates follow the same basic steps throughout the U.S. and its territories.
