Nebraska PE license requirements

In Nebraska you can take the PE right after passing the FE and graduating from an ABET- or CEAB-accredited program, but you need approval from the Nebraska Board of Engineers and Architects first (the PE exam application is free). After passing, you apply for your license ($100) with four years of progressive experience after graduation, and the board sends you an exam on Nebraska’s engineering law and rules. Licenses are specific to your PE discipline.
