Professional Licensure

Mechanical engineering is a respected profession that is charged foremost with maintaining public safety. Like those in the law and medical professions, many mechanical engineers in positions of responsibility are required to be professionally licensed.

Professional licensure is regulated at the state level, and licensure requirements may vary from state to state.

To become professionally licensed, all states require a minimum level of education, typically a B.S. degree in mechanical engineering from an ABET accredited school, several years of professional experience working with licensed professional engineers, and satisfactory completion of the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam (FE exam), a standard 8-hour exam.
