Professional Engineers Examination
Engineering Technology graduates from South Carolina State University can sit for the professional engineering examinations in South Carolina as a result of legislation passed by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1993. Under the new legislation, engineering technology graduates can sit for the first part of the State Board examination, Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination. Those who pass the examination are certified as engineering-in-training after four years of apprenticeship under a licensed Professional Engineer. After another four years of apprenticeship, an engineer-in-training can sit for the second part of the State Board examination, Principles and Practice of Engineering examination, and upon passing, attain the status of Tier A registered Professional Engineer (unrestricted practice) with supplemental course work or the status of Tier B registered Professional Engineer (restricted practice) without supplemental course work.
