Passed my Professional Engineer Exam today!

I've looked at the PE exam for my field. I'm pretty sure I could pass it, coming in cold. But.... no real benefit except possible liability if something goes sideways.

Unless you stamp something, where is the liability? Typically, your company covers your legal costs if you get named in a claim. If they dont specifically commit to that, dont use the stamp. Pretty simple.

That aside, you must remember that stamping any design places you in responsible charge of that project essentially for the rest of your life. You gotta come to terms with that aspect. There is a significant responsibility that comes with it. That is why the requirement to work under the charge of a licensed engineer for 4 years before you can sit for the exam. The point of it is so you are exposed to how decisions need to be made and the responsibility to the general public for the work you review and approve.

I suppose that is what Errors and Omissions insurance is for.
