Tennessee PE license requirements
In Tennessee you must complete an Application to Test ($30) online and be approved by the Board of Architectural and Engineering Examiners before registering with NCEES. Year-round computer-based PE exams have no board deadline; for disciplines offered only in October, apply by June 15. After passing a computer-based PE, email your score report to the board, then pay the $140 biennial registration fee.
