- Historic pass rates for engineers who have graduated with at least a bachelors of science degree in engineer, passed the EIT/FE exam, and had 4+ years relavent experience and sat for the PE Electrical exam have been between 28-68% for different exams over the past 6 years. 2000 was a very bad year to have taken the PE, I think, lol...
