What is an electrical engineer in training?

An Electrical Engineer In Training (EIT) is a recent graduate or early-career professional who has completed an accredited engineering degree and passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. EITs work under the supervision of licensed engineers, gaining hands-on experience before becoming eligible to take the Professional Engineer (PE) exam. The EIT designation indicates a commitment to the engineering profession and is a key step toward full licensure as a Professional Engineer. Typical responsibilities include assisting with designing electrical systems, conducting tests, and preparing technical reports.
