Employers hiring recent engineering graduates often look tosee if the applicant has successfully passed the FE exam. Passing the exam also demonstrateshow serious you are about your engineering career. The National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) is theorganization that oversees the development, distribution, and grading of the FE Exam, along withits counterpart, the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam. The FE Exam is a"limited reference exam," which means that the only reference material an examinee can useduring the exam is

Engineering graduates, especially in Northern California, with a knowledge ofnanofabrication and characterization techniques will be advantaged in job search, be betterprepared for handling tasks if they join a high-tech industry, and may be more motivated foradvancing their knowledge and skills in a nano-related field. In addition, Nanotechnology is aneffective way to introduce students to interdisciplinary sciences[7]. Therefore, in order tointroduce nanoscience and nanotechnology to undergraduate Mechanical and MechatronicEngineering students, an upper-level elective course, Nanoscale Science and Engineering MECH430, has been designed and added to the Mechanical and Mechatronic
