Engineering
The NCEES is responsible for the administration of the exams that engineers must pass in order to get their Professional Engineer certification. These include:
- The Fundamentals of Engineering exam (FE or EIT) usually taken during college or soon after graduating is one of the first steps to becoming a registered Professional Engineer
- The Principles and Practice of Engineering exam is a discipline specific exam required by most states to become a Professional Engineer. Typically this test is taken four or more years after completion of a Bachelor's degree in Engineering.
- The Structural I exam
- The Structural II exam
In addition, the NCEES assists with record keeping for those engineers who already have this certification. A Professional Engineer can request that NCEES submit his or her record to another state in order to be recognized as a Professional Engineer within that state. This process aids engineers by keeping their respective records in one place to transmit from state to state as they work on different jobs in different states.

Famous quotes containing the word engineering:
“Mining today is an affair of mathematics, of finance, of the latest in engineering skill. Cautious men behind polished desks in San Francisco figure out in advance the amount of metal to a cubic yard, the number of yards washed a day, the cost of each operation. They have no need of grubstakes.”
—Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
