NCEES PE Exam Prep: Disciplines & Practice
The NCEES Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam is required for Professional Engineer licensure, taken after passing the FE and gaining qualifying experience. It offers discipline-specific tracks — Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Environmental, Chemical, and many more. Here's how it's structured — with realistic COSMIQ practice.
COSMIQ prepares you for the NCEES PE Exam and administers realistic full-length mock tests — it does not administer the real exam or issue an engineering license.
Frequently asked
What disciplines does the PE exam offer?
Many, including Civil (with sub-tracks like Structural and Geotechnical), Mechanical (HVAC, Machine Design, Thermal/Fluids), Electrical (Power, Electronics/Controls), Environmental, Chemical, and more.
How is the PE different from the FE?
The FE is the first step, taken early in your career; the PE comes later, after the FE and qualifying experience, and leads to Professional Engineer licensure from your state board.
