Talk:Engineer in training

Clarification of the Term
The article states: 'The term "Engineer-In-Training" is a bit of a misnomer as people with this designation are already engineers, just not fully licensed Professional Engineers (PE). Although they are "in training," the term is misleading in that it sounds as if it implies that they have yet to become engineers.'

That is not correct. In every state in the U.S., since all 50 states and the several territorial possessions adhere to NCEES poliies and procedures, an "engineer" is designated in the law to be synonymous with "licensed" or "registered professional engineer." Legally, a graduate of an engineering program, including those ABET accredited, must when designated officially, be termed "Engineering Graduates." Those who pass the Fundamentals of Engineering examination are duly registered as EI or EIT, and are designated as such.

No one but a duly-licensed or -registered professional engineer may publicly refer to himself as an Engineer, nor use the designation on business correspondence, cards, letterhead, etc. No company or firm may use the word "Engineer" or "Engineering" in its name, unless at least one PE is a full-time employee who is in a responsible management position.

The article should be changed to reflect this. B. Polhemus (talk) 20:11, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Canada
As far as I know, Canada uses the same nomenclature (EIT), but the system is different in that no FE exams are required. Can anyone write a section on how the Canadian accreditation system operates? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.150.243.117 (talk) 00:37, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

E.I.T. Disambiguation Page
I believe that when someone searches for "E.I.T." they should be redirected to a Disambiguation page, just like a search for "EIT" does, instead of being directed to "Engineer In Transition (a specific program at a specific company)." "E.I.T." is an alternate spelling of EIT (as in "Engineer-In-Training"). I don't know how to make it direct to a disambiguation page, but I think it should. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aaronacb132 (talk • contribs) 03:50, 27 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Agreed. Fixed. &mdash;voidxor (talk &#124; contrib) 06:59, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Other article
There is another article about the EIT but its listed under the Fundamentals of Engineering exam. Can someone plese try to join the two articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.182.31.24 (talk) 19:09, 29 July 2013 (UTC)


 * "Engineer in Training" is a professional designation given to those who have accomplished the requirements. One requirement is passage of the Fundamentals of Engineering exam. One is a certification—the other an exam. Are you still suggesting a merge? – voidxor (talk &#124; contrib) 04:45, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
