Just spoke with the board - they verified that I passed all exams and are looking into why my name isn't up.

Thanks for the update. I can't wait to check the mailbox, hopefully for good news. Tick-tock...

 

[AThib]

Good luck!

So....should we receive one letter or two letters? Some people are using the word" letter" some are using "letters"

Which one is correct?? or maybe depends, you could get one or two. I am confused.... Anybody knows????

 

[noghre111]

I expect to recieve two seperate letters. One for seismic, one for surveying.

 

[darius]

For those of you still waiting on letters there is hope. The last license number on the website is 79507 but I recieved my pass letters today with a license number 797XX. Looks like there's 200+ people who passed who are not in the database yet. Good luck!

This is a great news, but how did you come up with this number "200". Did you call the board??

 

[pe_noob]

I've just received one letter (3 sheets):

survey pass (one sheet)

seismic fail (2 sheets)

And the dream goes on...

 

[jburke]

I had two pass letters in one envelope

I'm in Colorado, just got my official pass letter from the board. Post marked the 29th. Glad to get that monkey off my back

 

[SAEngineer]

Just got my pass letter now to go talk to my department head......

 

[rezzorito]

I received both in one envelope, and I am very glad to say I passed both. However, below the pass it says "Take Home Exam: Need to Take"

Does that mean that I failed the take home? And if so do I have to pay $275 to retake it, and then wait for the next cycle to get my PE?

Congrats to all who passed, and to does that didn't keep trying. Hard work always pays off at the end.

As far i know, you have to resubmit without paying any fee, but will delay your license certificate.

Still better than missing any exam. G luck

Call and talk to the person who processed your application. They normally notify you if you failed the take home with a chance to retake it before the exam to avoid paying an extra fee. It kind of sounds like maybe they are having issues with putting the take homes into the system correctly.

 

[jburke]

My letters said the exact same thing. I called them and thy looked in my file and found the take home exam (which I passed). They just forgot to enter it or entered it incorrectly. They also said they would take care of it. I also heard from them earlier yesterday (when I was convinced I failed) that I would have received a letter a while who if I had failed the take home. Bottom line: call the board and have them look up your file.

Congats to all who passed the exams. I passed the 8hr & surveying, will be takig seismic next time. I want to take a review course for seismic. Who do you recommend? Mansour or Heiner?

Congrats nog. I was in the same boat and (luckily!) passed Seismic this last time. I self-studied but if you take a review course, def take Hiner.

 

[Environmental_Guy]

Frack!! I failed miserably on surveying, with 2 "deficient" and 2 "marginal" ratings on the score sheet. Glad to have the 8-hour done with though.

So when getting the stamp (for new Civil engineers), do we have it say 'Professional Engineer', 'Registered Professional Engineer' or 'Licensed Professional Engineer'?

I forgot what the rules are. I'm thinking we're allowed either of the 3

Any of the above, see p11 of http://www.pels.ca.g.../boardrules.pdf

According to the board rules the number should be in the middle of the stamp. Do you guys know if the number should contain any letter in front of it (like C for Civil, or E for engineer) or is it just the number from the license look up page.

 

[Trev... P.E.]

Yes, use the letter, if you search for a number in the 35000's you will find there are civil and mech licenses against it. The letter is part of the license number.

I just got my stamp, been stamping bits of scrap paper all over the desk. Feels good. Now to seal shut those thank you notes, if only I had one of those wax seals
