The next F.E. exam dates are April 12, 2008 and October 25, 2008. Applications must be postmarked by December 1, 2007 and July 3, 2008 respectively.

The following is some information and advice regarding the application process:

1. Obtain a copy of the "Engineer-in-Training" application from . Carefully follow instructions for completing the application under "Directions to apply for consideration as an Engineer-in-Training", and mail to the N.J. State Board of Engineers and Land Surveyors. Payment should be by certified check or money order. Make sure you also complete the “ Child Support Questions” which should be included in the application.

2. To complete the application you must provide three references, one of which must have a valid U.S. processional engineer’s license (P.E.). Check the listings of faculty in the current Rutgers – New Brunswick Undergraduate Catalog, for faculty in your department with the P.E.’s. The application must also be notarized by a valid Notary Public. Check with your department office for assistance.

3. After your application has been received by the State Board you will be assigned an application number. At that time go to the Rutgers University Records and Transcripts Office (ASB 200L) and complete the form to have an official transcript sent to the State Board. Indicate your application number on the form so that it will be written on your transcript.

4. Currently enrolled undergraduates must have a letter sent by the college to the State Board which verifies academic status and anticipated graduation date. Visit EN – B100 to arrange for this letter to be sent after you have received your application number from the State Board. Make sure to give your application number which must appear on the college letter.

5. If you have already graduated and your degree is posted on your academic transcript, you do not need a supplemental letter. The information on your transcript will suffice. October 2007 graduates and January 2008 graduates who are applying for the April 12, 2008 exam should submit the letter described in item 4.

6. All supporting documents, including transcripts, college letter, and reference letters, must include your application number and must be post marked to the State Board no later than January 23, 2008 for April 2008 exam and no later than August 13, 2008 for the October 2008 exam.

7. Plan to arrive at the exam early. Doors are locked at the designated time.

8. After graduation you must send a final official transcript to the State Board. Include your application number. Make sure you wait until degree information has been posted on your transcript before sending it.

9. The State Board will not inform you if your application is incomplete. If you have any doubts, call their “Status Department” at (973) 504-6460.

10. Who should take the F.E. Exam? Most Civil Engineers take the exam. Other majors who are considering a career in consulting or public service should take it. Some people feel that all engineers should be licensed and therefore take the exam. See your advisor, undergraduate director or any trusted professor for advice.

11. In addition to the F.E. exam, a short “Law Exam” must also be completed prior to receiving the P.E. license. This exam may be taken at the time of the F.E. exam, the P.E. exam, or anytime between the two exams. The exam is based on the contents of a booklet entitled “Statutes and Regulations” which will be mailed to you by the State Board. Whenever you decide to take the “Law Exam”, make sure you study the booklet before you sit for the exam.
