Nah, not clever, just lucky and in-line with my pre-determined plans.

Ask any of my colleagues in college, I wasn't the smartest knife in the socket.

I'm 46. I passed the PE this year. Anyone here older than me? C'MON MAN! Gotta be someone here! lol

I passed the FE at 23 and the PE at 50 (both on the first time). I was not the oldest exam taker in the room when I took the PE.

FE was 24-25 right out of college, PE first attempt was 2017 at 49, two more attempts didn't pass yet.

Not a PE yet, but found out on Thursday I passed! I’m 23. If the board will accept my co-ops, I’ll get my license October of next year and will be 24.

 

[morphe83 PE]

I got my degree at 21, a bachelor degree in architectural engineering is 5 years in my country of origin, I was 16 when I got to college, then 2 master's degrees (1 back home and 1 in the US) and many years of experience in structural design later I took & passed the PE Civil -structural exam this year for the first time at 38! so I am kind of old based on NCEES statistics.

Samesies. .. I took and passed the exam at 37, but didn't get licensed until 38

 

[plainjane]

Got you beat at 24 when I first got my PE! Got the SE 2 years later at 26.

The SE as well, that's awesome!

Unfortunately COVID got my tests all cancelled/postponed for the better part of 6 months, or I like to think I would have had mine at 24.

Nice job! 24 with the SE is an awesome feat.
I think I could have gotten the PE 6 months earlier, which would have put me at 23. They said 9 additional days of experience was required to sit for the PE. 9 days! I could have been on vacation that entire time!

There a link to a reddit AMA where a 19 year old claims to be the youngest PE ever.

I don't buy it. Says they were 16 when they got their first engineering job, and that was outside the US. No way at 19 (just three years later) they would have :

1) Convinced NCEES to accept their experience,
2) Sat for and passed the exam, and
3) Obtained an actual license.

Literally said right in there that 4 years of experience is needed.

The math isn't adding up lol.

OP also said they have masters degree, which in some states knocks a year off experience requirement. Not that I am saying this is real, or even if it is, that it is something to be proud of. What kind of childhood is that?

Passed the CE at 25 and the SE at 28.
California exam

 

[Hai EIT]

Passed my FE at 21 fresh outta college, and passed Texas's decoupled PE MDM at 22 last year. At 23 I'm still working on the experience required before being able to get officially licensed. I'm open to recommendations for any faster way to get it than California's 2 years required

 

[Farsak Palia]

Got my California PE at 26 and SE at 27

 

[14bk41]

wow you guys made me feel really old... Perhaps I am the oldest PE taker (passed on first try but much later in my career when I realize I do need PE).

 

[Tmanwatery PE]

I'm just curious to know if anyone here are PE's that is younger than me.
I'm a Professional Engineer, 27 years old, with 5 years of engineering experience in the Building Design(Electrical) industry.

Got my license at 26.... well 26 years 359 days
