The Civil Engineering Academy Podcast Knocking Out the FE and PE Exams in One Try With Sierra Patrick
Ever imagined passing the FE on the first try 7 years after school, doing the same with the PE just 2 years later…and all of this without having started out in engineering in the first place?!
That’s exactly what today’s guest did! 😮
Sierra Patrick was on a pre-med track before realizing engineering suited her better. Two years ago, she joined our Civil FE Review Course to finally tackle the FE exam after putting it off since college.
Fast forward to today, she’s officially a licensed PE after knocking out the PE Exam this year with our Civil PE Review Course as well. (Yep, another double-win with CEA! ✅ 👷)
From that bold career pivot to prepping for her exams, Sierra’s journey is packed with hard-earned lessons you’ll want to steal for your own exam prep.
Whether you’re gearing up for the FE or the PE, this episode has lots of study and exam-day tips from someone who’s walked the walk…and made it to the end. Just listen. 😉
