How does that work? I am totally ignorant about what PEs do, and how
they become qualified.
You need to take a qualifying test, and then work under the supervision of
a PE. Then pass a state test and be signed off by a PE. I took the first
test Engineer In Training EIT when I graduated university. My problem was
I worked in companies without a PE, and most of the computer peripheral
makers did not have a PE on staff. So was in a non PE position. Basically
a PE says you know what you are doing and are liable for your output.
