Whether you’re an experienced engineer or just beginning your journey, this is a must-watch if you’re serious about passing the PE exam in 2025.
The engineering landscape is evolving, and the Professional Engineer (PE) exam is changing too. As of 2025, project management is taking center stage, becoming a crucial component that aspiring engineers must master. This shift reflects the growing importance of project management skills in the engineering field, where professionals are expected to lead projects efficiently and effectively.
Engineers often find themselves well-versed in technical skills but might struggle with the project management aspects. The challenges are real – from understanding the project lifecycle to managing resources and timelines effectively. Many might be thinking, “I’m strong in my technical field, but project management? That’s a whole different ball game.” And they’re right; it does require a different set of skills. The potential gaps in knowledge can be significant, especially for those who haven’t had extensive experience in managing projects.
Programs like EMI’s AEC Project Management Certification are specifically designed to equip engineering professionals with the essential project management skills they often don’t receive through traditional technical education.
