Doktora ile PE (Professional Engineer) olmak mümkün mü?

[StarWars]

Merhaba,
Emeği geçenlere teşekkürlerimi sunarım.

Buradan edindiğim bilgiye göre mühendislik alanında, önce bir sınavla EIT (Engineer in Training) olunup 4 yıllık iş tecrübesi sonrasında da PE (Professional Engineer) sınavı alınarak üst seviyede profesyonel mühendis olunuyor.

İncelediğim bazı eğitim ve iş forumlarında 2 yıl eğitim, sonra 4 yıl eğitim, sonra EIT ve PE sınavlarından bahsediyor, ayrıca bunlara paralel ya da üstü olarak master ve doktora eğitiminden bahsediliyor, kafam biraz karıştı.

Şunu sormak istiyorum; Türkiye'de Lisans ve Yüksek Lisans yaptım. ABD'de bir üniversiteden doktora için kabul aldığım takdirde, mezuniyet sonrası Dr. Mühendis olarak sınavlara girmeden PE olarak çalışmak mümkün mü?

Hayır, mümkün değil.

"I'd agree with OldEngr regarding when best to take the FE and PE but I think your question regards how they relate to higher degrees, specifically the MS and PhD. In short, they don't. The FE (used to be EIT - engineer in training) is just a stepping stone to getting a PE (professional engineer) license. But you don't need a PE for the vast majority of engineering work. The PE is only for specific duties such as signing documents requiring a PE license, usually documents that are required by local government offices. If you work for a company designing products for example, you typically don't need a PE license. If you are selling 'engineering' services to the public however, it is likely you will need one. The vast majority of engineers I know work for a company, don't sell their services outside that company and therefore don't need and don't have a PE license. However, those companies will also typically have a handful of engineers with a PE license that can sign off on documentation especially with local government agencies such as permits that towns, cities and counties require. An MS or PhD is simply a higher level of education. You don't need a PE license to get your MS or PhD and similarly, if you have an MS or PhD, you are not automatically granted a PE so you don't have the legal rights that a PE has. With an MS or PhD, you will still need to obtain a PE if you are going to do work in the public domain but just like a BS in engineering, you don't necessarily need one. If you are a student working towards an MS or PhD, you generally won't be able to obtain a PE license since a PE license requires that you first obtain an FE and then have a certain number of years experience working in an engineering position along side a PE before you are allowed to take the exam. Also, each state has their own requirements and a PE in one state does not allow you to act as a PE in another state."
