The Key Differences Between the WRE and the Environmental PE with Matt Fanghella

The Key Differences Between the WRE and the Environmental PE with Matt Fanghella

PE Water Resources vs. PE Environmental Exam: what’s the difference?

Even better, if you work in any of these two fields…which one do you take if they overlap quite a bit? 🤔

You’ve probably asked yourself those same questions, and this week’s guest, Matt Fanghella, has the answers to both! 💪

Matt is a PE and CFM (and one of our CEA Team members too!) with lots of experience in both worlds, both regarding his career and his journey to licensure.

As someone who worked in Environmental early on in his career, and then transitioned to Water Resources, he found himself in the spot you’re in right now.

In this episode, he dives into his process for spotting the (small) differences between the two exams, how he decided which one to take so you know how you can do it for yourself…

…all the way to brand-new CEA resources he’s working on to help you tackle the Environmental FE and PE exams if you’re going that route. ✅ 🏗️
