PE Registration: Recommended Reading
The Professional Engineering exam is used to determine those candidates who are minimally competent for professional registration. "Minimum competence," as measured by the examination components of the licensing process, is the lowest level of knowledge at which a person can practice professional engineering in such a manner that will safeguard life, health and property and promote the public welfare. Bring at least one reference from each category when you sit for the exam, but only bring references that you are familiar with.
