Hi all! I tried real hard to find out whether my state, CT requires the credentials evaluation for FE exam? but FUBAR. :( I heard there are some states that don't require any evaluation. Do you know if your state requires the credentials evaluation, if you completed you Undergraduate from Nepal? Do you like to recommend any agency for this purpose? If you have any experience, knowledge, links, thoughts, please share. Many Thanks.

eventually you gonna have to do credential evaluation.  some states do not require evaluation if you have masters degree from US school.  go to www.cpees.org which will be helpful for your evaulation process.  if you want to take FE without evaluating your degree, you can do so with many states, such as michigan, louisiana, texas, arizona just to name a few.  however, there are states which requires you to evaluate your transcript even to take FE exam, such as nebraska, illinois, viriginia, florida, if i am not wrong.

I know 4 approved evaluation services:   CPEES www.cpees.org P.O. Box 720010 Miami, FL 33172 800-464-7650   AACRAO www.aacrao.org 1 Dupont Cr., NS, S. 520 Washington, DC 20036 202-293-9191   FCSA www.fcsa.biz 1910 Justin Lane Austin, TX 78757 512-459-8428   SpanTran www.spantran-edu.com 7211 Regency Blvd., S. 205 Houston, TX 77036 713-266-8805   I did mine from AACRAO, washington DC, one good thing bout AACRAO is photocopy of your transcripts are what they want. Unlike some others who ask for sealed transcripts. Bad thing is they are real slow in processing.  Good luck  Last edited: 16-Feb-09 01:10 PM

are you sure all these services are approved for all states in US?  i heard some states approved the evaluation done from cpees only.

Not 100% certain about that buddy, you can always ask your state's license board. These names were provided to me by  Oklahoma St. Bd. of Licensure for Professional Engineers & Land Surveyors.( i'm in OK btw) My thinking is they should be good in most of the states.

Thanks guys! Chikitsuck, you did your credential eval for you FE or PE and how long did it take?

FE,   They took around 3 months to send my evaluation report. AACRAO will only ask for photocopies of your previous transcripts. They contact your undergrad school and order (if needed) copy of your originals on their own (should be one reason for being slow).

Not sure about other states but Virginia accepts evaluation from CPESS only.

Got a link about PEs, hopefully that applies to FE as well, https://commerce.ncees.org/sur... Last edited: 16-Feb-09 06:31 PM Last edited: 16-Feb-09 06:32 PM Last edited: 16-Feb-09 06:51 PM

HI 2 ALL Attend the FE from Michigan State. Just fill the form and attend the exam. Don't need 2 provide any document.
