In summary, the conversation is about the FE and PE exams, which are state exams that must be passed in order to become a licensed professional engineer. The FE is taken before the PE and covers various phases of engineering, while the PE is more specific to one's field of expertise. These exams are similar to a lawyer passing the bar exam or an accountant passing the CPA. Becoming licensed as a professional engineer is often beneficial, but not always necessary.

What are Fe and Pe?

FE =Fundamentals of Engineering Test

P.E. = Professional Engineer.

Two 8 hour state exams.

You have to pass the FE first...covers 12 or so phases of engineering...ussually taken senior year of college...but not necessarily.

If you pass FE...u need at least 4 years in engineering field to qualify for PE. The PE test is in your field of expertise. Both tests are difficult.

Kinda similar to an lawyer passing the bar exam...or an accountant passing the CPA.

Being state licensed is generally a good thing. In some cases it is definitely needed...in other cases not so much.
