Engineer Interns contribute greatly to the public safety, welfare, scientific progress, and defense of the nation. The results of their work have a profound effect on every phase of modern society. Engineers design industrial machinery, develop scientific equipment, supervise the construction of buildings and highways, and design consumer products and various other innovations that help people adjust to modern society. They evaluate the overall effectiveness of their new devices, as well as the cost and reliability. Although most engineers develop a specific expertise, all require a basic knowledge of common engineering methodology. The emphasis on application of scientific principles, rather than on their discovery, is the main distinguishing factor of an engineer's work from that of a scientist. The engineer's work is not limited to design and development and may include inspection, quality control, management and administration. While under the supervision of a licensed engineer, an Engineer Intern performs the same design and development functions, as well as quality control, inspection, management and administration as a Professional Engineer. Requirements: 1) Must be a graduate of an EAC of ABET accredited program, or equivalent engineering curriculum of four years or more. 2) Must pass NCEES Fundamentals of Engineering Exam. Computer Based examination: Fees payable to NCEES, Application fee: $50.00, Renewal fee (every 2 years): $10.00
