         <description><![CDATA[<p>Professional Engineer License.</p><p><br></p><p>Entry-level aerospace engineers generally do not need a license, but a Professional Engineer (PE) license is often required for more advanced roles, leadership positions, or for engineers who will provide services directly to the public. To get a PE license, you typically need a bachelor's degree from an accredited program, four years of relevant work experience, and to pass both the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) and the Professional Engineer (PE) exams. </p>]]></description>
