]. Although there are some slight variations by state, there are fourmajor requirements to becoming a professional engineer (PE):  Graduate from an ABET-accredited engineering program,  Pass the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam,  Work under a PE for four years (three years with a Master’s in engineering), and  Pass the PE exam.Undergraduate engineering students may take the FE exam prior to graduation in their senioryear [5]. During an engineering student’s senior year, their time is limited and occupied withsenior design projects, finishing course work, and job hunting. Studying for the FE exam is oftenthe last thing on their minds. However, their interest increases when they learn that being able tolist on their resume that

Keys are an understandingthe economics of engineering decisions and being able to communicate within multi-disciplinaryteams/skill levels.Non-engineers with the ability to understand a discussion of a technical nature and have a senseof the relative advantages, disadvantages, benefits, and risks would be extremely useful to anyorganization that

With thisgoal in mind, a seamless integration of the RF courses into the program curriculum should bedevised. One of the ways to implement the necessary courses seamlessly is to use technicalelectives allowed in the program curriculum to teach the necessary RF engineering courses. Thisapproach minimizes the impact of creating the RF engineering program on the existingcurriculum.
