And many institutions, especially in this era of tight budgets, arescaling back the initiatives they have put in place. In addition, by their structure, with moreemphasis on specific research groups or departments, graduate programs are less likely to beinfluenced by institutional diversity programs which are in place.

There are fourrequirements to becoming a PE: graduate from an ABET-accredited engineering program, passthe FE exam, work under a PE for three to four years, and pass the PE exam. Prior to 1996, allapplicants took the same FE exam regardless of their engineering discipline. After 1996, themorning portion of the exam was the same for test takers but the afternoon exam was disciplinespecific.
