An Engineer-in-Training (EIT) is an individual who has completed a degree in engineering and passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. This designation is a crucial step for aspiring professional engineers, as it demonstrates their knowledge and commitment to the field. EITs typically work under the supervision of licensed professional engineers while gaining practical experience. To become a licensed professional engineer, an EIT must accumulate a specific amount of work experience, usually four years, and then pass the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam. This process ensures that engineers are well-prepared to take on complex projects and responsibilities in their careers.
