FE exam was an 8-hour exam prior to 2014. Some states such as Kansas and New York use the designation of IE (Intern Engineer), but is essentially the same as EI or EIT. Some states such as Iowa have no EIT or EI designation or certification available through their engineering boards. One just states s(he) passed the FE. An EI/EIT is not a requirement to take the PE exam; passing the FE is a requirement. Accumulate a set amount of engineering experience, typically under the direction of a PE. In most states the requirement is four years, but in others the requirement is lower. Pass the 8-hour Principles and Practice of Engineering Exam to receive a PE designation For Civil Engineers in California, passing two additional exams is required to gain PE licensure; the Seismic Principles exam and the Engineering Surveying exam.
