o Make sure you have an apprenticeship or cooperative education
program you can jump into while an undergrad. [Tessier]

o Alternatively, make sure you have a two-year in ______ Technology,
where ______ is some discipline which offers credits that will
transfer into a four-year program in engineering. [Bean]

o Contrary to the opinions of many students, the FE is NOT a test
of what you know so much as a test of what you can understand.
Mature engineers on the review panel found that if the read the

"clueless." Faculty colleagues have said essentially the same
thing after taking the FE. Those who cannot (or will not) read
carefully will not do well. [Venable]
