Electronic Drives and Controls’ Zack Fischer Earns Professional Engineer (PE) License

PARSIPPANY, N.J. - Feb. 5, 2024 - Electronic Drives and Controls, Inc. (EDC), a leading control system integrator and field service company for industrial automation and drive technology, today announced that Project Electrical Engineer Zack Fischer has earned his Professional Engineer (PE) license. Fischer’s achievement marks an important milestone for both his professional growth and EDC’s ability to serve clients with even greater efficiency and expertise.

The Professional Engineer (PE) license is a prestigious credential awarded to engineers who meet rigorous educational, experience, and examination requirements. To earn this designation, engineers must obtain a relevant degree in engineering from an accredited four-year university, accumulate years of hands-on experience under a licensed PE, and successfully pass both the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) and Professional Engineering (PE) exams. They must also secure multiple professional references, including sponsorships from licensed PEs who can verify their experience and qualifications.

Fischer joined EDC in 2013, starting in the Drives Service team before transitioning to the Systems Integration team in 2016. Fischer, a graduate of the New Jersey Institute of Technology with a degree in Electrical Engineering, pursued this certification not only to further his expertise but also to become the first licensed engineer in his family’s four-generation engineering legacy. In addition to his new PE license, Fischer has also completed the Siemens Global Technical Certification, earning a near-perfect score on his exam.

“We are incredibly proud of Zack’s hard work and dedication in achieving his PE license,” said Ed Sefcik, PE, Engineering Manager. “His technical expertise, problem-solving skills, and meticulous attention to detail have always made him an invaluable member of our team. This milestone enhances the level of service we can offer, allowing us to expedite critical project approvals and maintain full control over the certification process.”
