"Most, if not all, engineers in other fields are required to pass exams and obtain specific certifications before they can find proper employment in their field."
Is not true. I know mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, and industrial engineers who do not have a PE or ever taken the FE exam.
The only engineering field that requires you to have taken your FE then eventually get a PE is civil because they tend to go into construction.
Oh, interesting! I'll admit, I am not entirely familiar with breaking into other fields, I was going off what I've heard in different discussion forums and whatnot on the topic. I'll modify my statement, thanks for the correction!
Yeah only reason why I know this is because of my formal engineering degree. Whenever I took multidisciplinary courses and they spoke about becoming an engineer (legally) you must take the FE then PE exam. Honestly, I don't think there is much information out there on who really needs a PE license besides those vaguely written articles.
Anyway, I'm glad I was able to help!

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Just wanted to point out that
