How does the licensing process work there for Engineers? What do they test in your FE test?
I'm curious! I'm so freaking close to getting my P.Eng. and I'm the only one holding the process up. It makes me mad at myself.

Re: *dora*
To become a license Engineer, also known as a Professional Engineer (P.E) you must first pass the FE exam (Fundamentals of Engineering).
The exam has two sections, the morning with 120 question and afternoon with 60 questions. Both sections are 4 hours each. The morning section covers all the basics of engineering: statics, dynamics, chemistry, ethics, Calculus 1-3, physics 1&2, etc... The afternoon section will cover specifically your engineering field of study topics. For example, mine is civil engineering.
Once you pass the FE you become an EIT (engineer in training), and you have to work for 4 years under the license of a PE to qualify to take the PE exam.
The PE exam will cover more in detail subjects pertaining your field of engineering. These exams, depending on your field, can be up to 16 hrs long.
Oh wow, that's crazy.
Up here all you need to do to be an EIT is graduate from an accredited university w/ a degree in Engineering and sign up to be one.
To get licensed you need 4 years experience under a P.Eng (1 year can come from co-op terms that happened after the halfway point of your degree), pass the PPE (Professional Practice Exam, tests your knowledge of the Code of Practice and ethics) and, um, that's it? If you didn't go to an accredited university you can take the comprehensive exams (sounds more like your FE).
All I need to do now is submit the rest of my application. I've passed the PPE, I just need to finish my record of experience.
It is different in each province up here though.

Oh wow I'm so jealous!! We have to go through so much stuff. At this point I could be an EIT.
I think they are strict with the process because they want to make sure we are competent in the field.
