Fundamentals of Engineering Examination Elegibility

[Sorbik]

I'm currently pursuing a degree relating to Electronics Engineering Technology and wish to someday take the FE exam followed by the PE exam. I'm currently Active Duty AF PMEL (calibration technician) and wish to continue with this career field. What I don't know is if the degree plan I wish to pursue will be enough to let me take the FE exam. The link to the degree plan is Thomas Edison State College: Electronics Engineering Technology. If the link doesn't work, I've copied the degree requirements below. Any help would be great. This degree is not ABET accredited and I am a Georgia resident (could also switch to NJ as I'm currently stationed in NJ).

Thanks,

Jason

Typically once you pass the FE exam you have to then wait 4 years before you can take the PE exam, all states are different.
and technically you can take the FE exam anytime you feel you can pass it, again depends on the state.

Here is the PE info for Georgia.
Requirements for Licensure as a Professional Engineer
FOR EET, ABET and 7 years experience
OR simply having 8 years of engineering experience, passing the FE, then having 7 more years will let you take the PE

Excelsiors EET is ABET accredited, my USAF electronics credits were not recognized by Excelsior so I am stuck with TESC or remotely with Old Dominion, which is fairly military friendly.

Here in Virginia an EET and 4 years after FE qualifies to take PE.
