Practice of Engineering (PE)

The first national Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam was administered in 1966, and by 1984, each state and U.S territory had adopted the uniform national PE exam.

Today, the NCEES offers PE exams for many disciplines. State licensing boards offer the larger disciplines twice each year, while offering the other more specialized disciplines once per year.

Why is it important?

One of the most important decisions you can make early in your engineering career is to place yourself on a course to become a licensed professional engineer. The profession is regulated through the licensing boards in each U.S. state and territory. The high standards set by the licensing boards help protect the public by requiring that professional engineers demonstrate their competence to practice in a manner that will safeguard the public health, safety, and welfare.

The Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam is an 8-hour open-book exam given in two sessions. The exams have 80 questions (Environmental has 100) and are objectively scored. The questions are practice-oriented problems. The exams are offered in multiple formats, depending on the discipline taken. Although the exam is open-book, some boards may limit the material that is permitted in the exam room. It is worth checking with your board to be sure of the rules that apply locally.

Mallik bhai . . . . . . . U can surely get this exam in saudi. . . . But u don't have ABET accredited degree . . . . . So there is a long process to get through credential check exams.
Ya this would be only helpful if u work in the U.S or Canada.
