According to the National Society of Professional Engineers, only 20% of engineers obtain their PE License.
A Professional Engineering license is a certification that highlights an engineer’s adherence to higher standards. It is an indicator of dedication to integrity, hard work, creativity, and an assurance that the individual engineer has passed at least a minimum screen of competence.
Furthermore, the PE license demonstrates that you have the equivalent of a four-year engineering degree, four or more years of progressive experience, multidisciplinary understanding of physics and engineering, and have passed 2 very comprehensive engineering board exams
