CEA - FE Tips and Advice with Maithili Dey

Today I have a special guest come on - Maithili Dey. She recently passed the FE exam last year and has some great tips and advice she's picked up along the way. Come learn more from her in this episode!

Although the majority of PE/FE test takers may be from the US itself, international professionals who have had their academic careers outside of the country also need to go through the same process in order to be able to work in the US. And in today’s episode, Maithili Dey (from Bangladesh) elaborates on her journey as a trained civil engineer and gives some tips, as well as critical habits that helped her pass the FE exam.

She is an extremely experienced professional who has had the opportunity to build a strong network of professionals, in addition, to add a lot to her knowledge along the way. She was part of the Emergency 2007 Cyclone Recovery in Bangladesh, helping build shelters for people during natural calamities.

If you are a FE/PE future test taker from the US, this episode will give you a kick start on your journey to prepare for these exams by providing you with the best advice on how to practice your problem-solving skills using time management and other tools. And, if you are an international professional who wants to come to the US and work here as an engineer, Maithili’s story will definitely serve as a model and a guide for you.
