How Long Is This Course?: Electrical Engineer Licensure Exam

The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering program typically takes 5 years to complete, though some schools offer it in 4 years on a trimester system. Upon graduation, students must pass the Electrical Engineer Licensure Exam administered twice yearly by the Professional Regulatory Board of Electrical Engineering to practice as an electrical engineer. Exam preparation can take an additional 4-12 months depending on pass/fail results. The skills needed for an electrical engineering degree include analytical thinking, critical thinking, creativity, strong interpersonal skills, mathematical proficiency, and technical knowledge of engineering concepts and machinery.

How long is this course?

Bachelor of Science majors in Electrical


Engineering (also known as BSEE) are expected to
take this course for five years, although some
schools who operate under the trimestral system
offer this course for only four years.

To be able to practice as an electrical engineer,


however, you’ll need to take the Electrical
Engineer Licensure Exam upon graduation, which is
administered by the Professional Regulatory Board
of Electrical Engineering twice a year. The board
exam lasts for three days and covers a range of
subjects, including mathematics, engineering
sciences, electrical engineering professional
subjects, technical subjects and both parts of
the Philippine Electrical Code.

Board exam reviews would also demand an additional


4-12 months from you, depending on whether you pass
the exam or not.

What traits and skill sets would you need?


Aside from math and science, you’re going to need
these skills in order to cope with the workload:

 Analytical Skills– expect a lot of data


analysis in this course, so you’ll need to learn
how to decipher which data is crucial for you to be
able to solve problems.
 Critical Thinking– you’ll need to have a grasp
of reasoning and logical thinking if you are to
find different solutions to a problem.
 Creativity – expect to design different
prototypes in this course! You’ll also need this to
create the models for the designs you’ve presented
in class.
 Interpersonal Skills – electrical engineering
is also a collaborative effort between you and
other engineering majors, especially when it comes
to producing a design that would need a lot of
manpower for it to work, so your ability to get
along with people as a team will be needed.
 Mathematical Skills– engineering requires a lot
of problem solving, so you’ll need to have a good
grasp of mathematical concepts and computational
skills. 
 Technical Skills– it’s hard to not emphasize
that this course is all about mathematical,
scientific and engineering concepts. Plus you’ll
need to understand these information in order to
design and handle machinery.
