How to become an energy engineer?

Career: Energy Engineer

If you want to become an Energy Engineer, you typically need to earn a bachelor's degree in mechanical and energy engineering, energy engineering, energy systems engineering, or a related engineering field. Some choose to continue their education and pursue a master’s degree, but it depends on your career goals and if you want to specialize in a certain niche. If you want to lead a team of engineers or work on a project for the public, you will need to pass the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam and then earn your Professional Engineering (PE) license. This period usually involves gaining work experience while under supervision from a licensed engineer—either in the form of an internship or a paid position.
