FE exam (foreign diploma)

[achmidt]

Hello guys!

I`m just curious if anyone had a situation similar to my situation,

I`ve got a engineering degree from Russia, from University in Nizhny Novgorod. So I was going to try to get a PE license, but prior to that I need to pass FE exam. I`ve been working in US as a mechanical engineer for the last 8 years doing structural design and FEA analisys (nothing serious). Unfortunately our company don`t have any PE`s on board....

Long story short : I started evaluation process with NCEES, took about 5 months to get responses from Russian institution, and finally NCEES sent me an unofficial evaluation of my degree.

It appears that I really don`t need to submit any paperwork to the board of PE to pass FE exam. The problem is when I was trying to schedule FE exam, NCEES site asks to add a degree and it couldn`t find my institution within their database.... So I assume the institution and my degree is not ABET accredited...

Not sure what I have to do next. I tried to contact WI board of PE`s but they sent their general message (copy/paste) with the information how to apply for PE license.

Any help/advice is appreciated.

Thanks,

Alex,

Hi! I'm also a foreign graduate and like you my school is not ABET accredited. When you log in into your NCEES account there is a live chat tab on the bottom of the window, ask them to add your school...they'll do it right away.

the best way is to contact NCEES if you don't see the live chat tab... here's the link:
