Scott,
You will find the PE exam to require some knowledge of the NEC.
The Electrical Engineering PE exam in NY includes:
AC/DC circuits, Three Phase Power, Power Factor Corrections, Power Transmission Lines,
Transformers, Induction Motors, Fault Current Calculations, Transients,
Semi Conductor Devices, Semi Conductor Amplifiers, Data Communications and Computer Circuits.
The reference to qualified Engineer pertains to the fact that most states permit an engineer of any discipline (and even an architect) to sign and seal on electrical drawings. So a qualified one, is one that knows something about electricity.
