Roy,

Interesting points and comparisons.


Here in the US, for the PE licensure first step is passing of the Fundamentals of Engineering exam. It's usually best to take it upon completion of 3 years in the engineering program.

The changes that are made will most likely occur due to changes in technology, not empirical formulas.

For example, one change in the PE involves the calculation of an HVAC system. This is now done with software and is broken up into smaller calcs on the PE exams and their work.


Here students have joint internships (somewhat similar to an apprenticeship) it can be in the form of summer internships or after the 2nd year of the 4 year programme 

a paid internship with IBM or other company that runs in parallel.

As for foreign students in undergrad and post-grad programmes its somewhat similar situation. Out of state tuition is higher than in-state so usually, it's a significant boost 

in to the budget of the university.
