Please forgive an elementary question. Nevada requires a degree from an ABET accredited school to take the FE exam. Is it possible to have the degree evaluated by an independent agency and qualify?
 
You need to read the rules for Nevada. Most states will technically allow it, but after the evaluation they will provide a list of classes that you will need to take at an ABET accredited school before they agree to the equivalent degree. My buddy had a Masters in Structural Engineering and actually taught classes at a University. But he had to hire a company to translate the transcripts for the evaluator, pay a bunch of money for the evaluation, and then had to take a few classes to fill in the gaps. One of the classes was "Introduction to Engineering" which is funny since he already had a decade of experience. If you're trying to get an entire degree evaluated I would think that is a long shot, it all depends on the school, courses, and material covered. Be prepared for the bureaucratic paperwork process. There is a reason why Universities spend the extra money to get ABET accredited and they don't like when non-accredited schools take their business.
