SUMMARY:CONTROL SYSTEMS ENGINEERING (CSE) PE EXAM REVIEW COURSE (ENOO)
DESCRIPTION:About this course: \nThis course reviews the knowledge and skills areas included on the CSE Professional Engineer (PE) examination. This course prepares engineers with a minimum of four years of experience to take the CSE PE exam by providing instruction on the broad range of technical areas that will be tested. The exams are produced by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) and administered by US state professional license boards. EN00 course content is based on the CSE exam specification that went into effect in October 2019. Contact NCEES to schedule your exam. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDue to decoupling the PE Exam from the experience requirement\, an EIT may take the PE Exam before applying for licensure or earning the required four years of experience. The only requirement to be eligible is to be a Texas EIT. If you aren’t an EIT\, PELS encourages you to register for your EIT using the Online EIT application. It streamlines the EIT application process and allows for online payments. \n\n\n\n\nPlease use the ISA Houston promo code “HOUS2026” when registering. \nCSE PE Board Exam is on April 15th 2026 \nLearning Objectives: \n\nFollow the guidelines for taking the CSE exam\nIdentify the breadth of the knowledge and skills areas covered\nApply recognized standards for symbols and documents\nRecognize the basic calculation techniques for measurement devices\nApply process variable measurements and sensor selection\nCompare the various final control elements/valves\nExplain basic process control loops: their configuration\, operation\, and performance\nFollow discrete logic in motor and interlock control\nDescribe various signal conversion and wiring arrangements\nCompare various installation methods and techniques\nDetermine material requirements from physical parameters\nUse safety instrumented basics\nInterpret system scope statements and apply them to design needs\n\nTopics Covered \n\nSensor technologies applicable to various measurements (process variables)\nCalculations involved in process measurements\nFinal control elements\nSignal types and transmission methods\nControl Systems\nSafety systems\nCodes\, standards and regulations
