It is required if your career requires a Professional Engineering license. And that test itself can take TONS of time to prepare during your senior year.

I didn't take my FE during spring of my senior year (we were encouraged but not required) so I didn't take it until I'd been out of school a year and a half. Even with that distance from school, other than reviewing some math problems, I passed on the first try... and trust me, I was not the best student, so don't get too freaked about it!

Most engineers are not required to take the FE. The only ones that are required to take the FE are CEs. I do know that all CEs have to pass the FE if they want to graduate here at NMSU. Although every engineering student is encouraged to try to eventually get a PE.

this thread makes me really happy.
i am an IE major at my college.... [look at my name ]
and i am working with the College of Engineering here to start a engineering sorority....
then possibly rush NPC
i wish i thought of an engineering sorority last semester,
i would have loved to have other girls to hang out with.

but it's better late then never. = ]

I remember rushing as a pre med major. Now im in a great medical school. But beside the point, I had labs and more work to do. I was able to have positions in my sorority during 2 years lived in the house for 3 years. It was just a great experience. I was also a cheerleader my freshaman year but honestly I could not handle all 3 so I dropped out of that.

I know I had to miss meetings and monday night dinners on occassion because of studing or labs. Sometimes I thought it wasnt fair that my sisters had easier majors but I was not the only one with a science/engineering major but I definitly learned how to manage my time. I was also involved in other organizations around campus. I can say being both a science major and in a sorority has given me a great persepctive.

I know I will mainly be in classes with guys. But it is doable.
