Ⅲ. More about Korea PE
1. Unlike the US, in Korea, architectural engineering and civil engineering are separated.
- Civil engineering is called "Civil Engineering" in the US and Europe, and architecture belongs to art colleges.
- Even in Korea, there were often attempts to change architecture to an art school and strengthen it toward architectural design, and to take charge of construction and structure in civil engineering, but it was said that it was canceled for various reasons.
- There is a saying that architecture belongs to the engineering school as architecture and architectural design due to the influence of the Japanese colonial period, but this has not been confirmed. However, if you look at the curriculum of actual university education, the classification of related universities is similar.
2. The American PE is similar to the Korean engineer's license, but there is a clear difference from the test method.
- American FE can be regarded as an "기사" engineer in Korea, and PE can be regarded as an "기술사" Professional Engineer level, but it is also an open book and can be obtained in Korea as it is possible to take an online test.
