Crushing the FE and PE Exams Just 36 Days Apart With Angello Murekye

Crushing the FE and PE Exams Just 36 Days Apart With Angello Murekye

The normal path is getting the FE first and the PE second…but who said you can’t do it the other way around? 🤔 That’s what Angello Murekye did — and he passed both exams just 36 days apart! 😳 👇

Angello is a civil engineer who has practiced, taught, and conducted research in Uganda, Europe, and the United States. He came to the US for a PhD at Virginia Tech and built a career in the pavement segment of transportation.

At the time, skipping the FE made total sense for his unique situation to get licensed in the US…until it didn’t. 😅

In this episode, he shares the details of this unique journey to get the PE license by passing the FE second (and why!), while not holding back on exam prep tips that worked for him to get this done so soon (and so fast!) either.

Whether you’re working toward your FE or PE, there’s a lot to take away from Angello’s story to apply to your own journey. And if you’re an international engineer, his journey offers even more useful pieces of advice for you on navigating the US path to license to supercharge your career.

So, go give this episode a listen wherever you get your podcasts and go hear how Angello managed to pass both PE and FE just 36 days apart — and the lessons he picked along the way.
