Can I get a Professional Engineering License in California working for only two years?

I will graduate in civil engineering in a year. I live in Utah but would like to become a PE as soon as possible. Could I go to California and take the test two years after I graduate?

    Possibly. My understanding is that CA requires six years of experience to be licensed as a PE. Four years of experience may come from an undergrad degree in a board approved program. The remaining two years would come from work experience. Note that if you wanted to become licensed as a Structural Engineer you would need an additional three years of experience after being licensed as a PE.
