The exam is open to anyone with a degree in engineering, or who is currently enrolled in the last year of an ABET-accredited engineering degree program. The exam is eight hours long, split into four-hour sessions. The morning session is a 120-question test, while the afternoon session consists of 60 in-depth questions.

Programming, IT, and Website Development Jobs

Computer programmers write and test code that allows computer applications to function properly. They turn the program designs (psuedo-code) created by business managers and engineers into code that a computer can execute. Software developers start out with a bachelor’s degree in computer science or software engineering, although a degree in math is also acceptable. Computer science degree programs tend to cover a broad range of topics, including computer programming, data structures, artificial intelligence (AI), Ruby on Rails, computer graphics, visual object-oriented programming, and algorithm design. Moreover, most programmers specialize in multiple programming languages, such as php, ASP, C++, Python, JAVA, and SWIFT.

The median annual wage for computer programmers was $90,530 in May 2015. Employment of software developers is projected to grow 17 percent from 2014 to 2024, much faster than average. Software developers also need skills related to the industry in which they work. Developers working in a bank, for example, should have knowledge of finance so that they can understand a bank’s computing needs. In fact, many students gain experience in software development by completing an internship at a software company while in college.
