what dose it mean (P.E) in engineering?

Answer 1

Professional Engineer

Answer 2

P.E. Means "Professional Engineer". That is somone who has gone to college in engineering and has taken two 8 hour long tests and they can show that they have been working as an engineer for 4 years. After doing all that the state that they work in will give them a license to work as a "Professional Engineer" All the states have rules about how to become a professional engineer. They do this to make sure that only people that are qualified can design things like bridges, buildings and pipelines like I do. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

P.E. in engineering means you are a professional Engineer.... below are the basic steps... basically you have to get a degree, take an exam, have work experience, take another exam and then you are a PE....


Step 1: Graduation

The first step is graduating from an ABET-accredited engineering program at a college or university. ABET stands for Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, the nationally recognized accrediting organization for engineering and technology curricula.

Step 2: FE Exam

The first exam in the licensure process is the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE). This exam is offered in April and October every year. Most students take the exam right before graduation or soon after while the technical information they've studied is still fresh in their minds. Once you pass the exam, you are classified as an intern, also known as Engineering Intern (EI) or Engineer-in-Training (EIT).

Step 3: Work Experience

After passing the FE exam, you will continue your journey toward professional licensure by gaining engineering experience. Many jurisdictions have specific requirements about the type of experience you need to gain. Most require that you gain experience under the supervision of someone who is already licensed, and that your experience involve increasing levels of responsibility. Once you begin work, contact your licensing board to find out what experience is needed and talk with professional engineers in your company to find out how you can gain this experience.

Step 4: PE Exam

Once you have gained the appropriate experience required, you can take the second exam in the licensure process, the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE). This exam is given in a variety of engineering disciplines. Most disciplines are offered in both April and October, but some are offered only in October.

Answer 4

Professional Engineer.

It is a state license for Engineering. It means you have passed a basic Engineering exam (FE) and passed an exam in your specialized area.

Answer 5

Potential Energy.

or

Polyethene.

Amongst other things.

The guy below is probably the one you're looking for, but a two letter acronym can stand for anything so my mistake is understandable, even if I say so myself.
