After doing so, all IA PE exam applicants must attest to the following 5 statements before they can proceed with the registering for and scheduling an exam:

    1.   I am a graduate of a four-year Bachelor’s program in engineering from an ABET/EAC or CEAB-accredited engineering program;

    2.   I have passed the NCEES Fundamentals of Engineering examination;

    3.   I acknowledge and understand that passing this NCEES PE examination does not guarantee future licensure in any state or jurisdiction.

    4.   I acknowledge I have read and understood the IA Engineering Rules, and specifically the Examination and Licensure minimum qualifications criteria to be eligible for initial PE licensure in Iowa.

    5.   I understand that once I pass the NCEES PE exam, and have earned the necessary qualifying experience, I am required to apply directly to the IA Board to continue the initial licensure process by submitting the required application and fees, along with all documentation as required by the Board.

    Applicants for Louisiana planning to take a Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) Exam must meet these requirements to register directly with NCEES:

    (1) Applicant has graduated with a BS degree from an EAC/ABET-accredited program and has submitted a transcript to NCEES.

    (2) Applicant has passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam.

    All other applicants must apply to the Louisiana Board for authorization to take the Principles and Practice of Engineering Exams. Applicants must complete an Application for Certification to ensure you have met the educational, FE examination requirements and when applicable, the experience requirement.

    You can check to see if your FE exam has already been verified by looking at the right side of your dashboard when you log in and following the Exam Verification link. If your FE exam has not been verified, you will need to submit a verification request to the board where you took and passed the FE exam. Please note that a verification response may take up to 30 days and plan accordingly.

    To qualify for the auto approval process, you must meet the above referenced requirements prior to registering directly through NCEES.

    After you have confirmed verification of your FE and your transcript, register online with NCEES to reserve your seat for the exam.

    Examinees who remain categorized as “pending board approval” in their My NCEES account after submitting a transcript and having their FE verified were not accepted for auto approval by NCEES. The NCEES “pending” status means that you need to submit an application to take the examination directly to the Board for authorization to take the exam.

    Your exam type, discipline, module, and/or site cannot be changed after the NCEES registration deadline.


    The West Virginia State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers (WV PE Board) no longer requires examinees to submit a pre-approval application or fee to the Board prior to registering for and scheduling to take the NCEES SE exam. However, the following items are required to be submitted to NCEES prior to PE exam registration:


    • Official college transcript(s) sent directly from your institution to NCEES. The WV PE Board requires that the transcript show you have earned an EAC (engineering) or ETAC (engineering technology) ABET-accredited bachelor’s degree; or written approval from the WV PE Board to register with NCEES for the exam. All examinees should visit the ABET website at www.abet.org to ensure their bachelor’s degree is from an EAC or ETAC ABET-accredited program at their specific institution. Examinees without EAC or ETAC ABET-accredited degrees or prior written approval should contact [email protected] for pre-approval procedures before beginning the NCEES PE Exam registration process.
    • Verification of passage of the FE exam submitted directly from the state where you passed the exam. You can check to see if your FE exam has already been verified by looking at the right side of your dashboard when you log in and following the Exam Verification link. If you do not see your FE exam verified here, you must request for your FE exam to be verified in your account. To accomplish this, go to the right side of your dashboard when you log in, where there will be a link to click to Request Exam Verification and simply follow the steps to make the request to the state board where you took and passed the exam. Keep in mind that some state boards require ample time to process the verification, and plan accordingly.

    The WV PE Board requires all examinees to visit the Board’s website at  https://www.wvpebd.gov/ to review the WV Engineering Law and PE application materials for initial licensure to guarantee they understand the minimum qualifications. After doing so, all WV SE exam applicants must attest to the following 5 statements before they can proceed with the registering for and scheduling an exam:

    1. I am a graduate of a Bachelor’s program from an EAC or ETAC ABET-accredited engineering program or I have written approval from the WV PE Board to register for this examination;
    2. I have passed the NCEES Fundamentals of Engineering examination;
    3. I acknowledge and understand that passing this NCEES PE examination does not guarantee future licensure in any state or jurisdiction.
    4. I acknowledge I have read and understood the WV Engineering Law, and specifically the Examination and Licensure minimum qualifications criteria to be eligible for initial PE licensure in West Virginia.
    5. I understand that once I pass the NCEES SE exam, and have earned the necessary qualifying experience, I am required to apply directly to the WV PE Board to continue the initial licensure process by submitting the required application and fees, along with all documentation as required by the Board.
