Can a person with a degree in Mathematics but have taken extensive engineering classes take the FE exam?

Answer:
Yes! If you browse the web site you'll find the requirements to sit for the exam. If I remember correctly, nearly any degree in calculus-based science (physics, chemistry, engineering, ect...) will allow you to sit for the exam. You now have to decide which versions to take. The morning session is general engineering. The afternoon session is either more general engineering, or discipline-specific material. Either way, passing the FE + 4 or more years of related work will allow you to sit for the PE; I assume that this is your ultimate goal. Good luck! ***Update From Goofball*** You can check the Texas Board of regulations and it specifically states that you can take the FE test with a math degree with certain qualifying credits in the mathematics curriculum. No calculus in a math degree? I would love to see a B.S. curriculum that doesn't have any calculus. Maybe it's in the same place where they say that Rutgers is not ABET accredited... You can actually sit for the PE exam if you have qualifying experience, and can actually even get exempt from the exam with the right amount of field-experience. Perhaps the two other posters would back up their claims with references?

The goofball who said yes does not know how to read the requirements. A Math degree is not an Engineering degree, it's not even a Calculus based Science degree. The release that alows one to take the PE if one has a Science degree with a calculus based instruction plan may allow Applied Physics degree holders to take the PE exam. Frankly, even then I doubt they could pass. You took a short cut. What are you expecting? Gettign a PE is not going to get someone who's looking to hire an Engineer to hire you. If you want to be an Engineer, go back and finish the degree that you should be taking. Astrobuf

No, you need a degree from an ABET-accredited program.

No, you need a ABET accredited degree in engineering. I am taking the FE exam in 2 weeks. Math is 20% only of the morning session exam, which includes Chemistry, Physics, Electromagnetism, Fluid Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Statics, Dynamics, Mechanics of Materials, Computer Programming, Engineering Economics, and Engineering Ethics. 120 questions total, 4 hours, then 40 minute break before the afternoon exam. The afternoon exam depends on what FE exam module you are taking. Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical? All of the afternoon exam questions have to do with the specific engineering major. 60 questions total, 4 hours.
