We are pleased to announce a benefit of Tau Beta Pi membership. Through a partnership with Kaplan AEC Education, Tau Beta Pi members receive a 30% discount on all print exam preparation materials for the Fundamentals of Engineering exam (FE) and the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam (PE), the two exams necessary to become a licensed engineer.

Professional licensure provides greater career opportunities. Engineering students graduating college with the FE exam already behind them have a competitive advantage in the job market over other graduating engineering students. Once out in the workforce, those going on to achieve their PE license can (according to the National Association of Professional Engineers) receive salaries as much as $20,000 higher than their non-licensed counterparts. Licensing also gives you the freedom to have a portable license, open a private practice, enter into contracts, submit plans, and more.

If you are considering taking the FE or PE exam, they are offered twice a year, once in April and again in October. It is recommended that college seniors take the FE while in school because much of the content on the exam is still fresh from classes.

To take advantage of the Tau Beta Pi discount, please provide the following information to gain access to the site.
