It doesn't take confidence, it takes judgement. Even the PE exam is an exercise in good judgement.

Fortunately, you need to practice for several years under the authority of a more experienced engineer before you can even attempt the exam. So you have an opportunity to develop good judgement before you get into a position where you can get people hurt.

Remeber:

Good judgement is the result of Experience


Experience is the result of Poor Judgement
