Maine PE license requirements

In Maine you can take the PE at any point after passing the FE, then apply online to the State Board of Licensure for Professional Engineers once you have the experience: four years with an accredited engineering degree, or eight years with a non-accredited or related science degree. The application and licensure fees total $170 ($50 + $120), and PE references send their forms directly to the board.
