NCEES wants an accounting of your entire work history from graduation up to your current employment, along with supervisor references to verify. However, there is a place to explain gaps in employment. You might be able to document your non-engineering experience that way. I graduated in 2004...

My degree is in chemical engineering, but my all of my work experience has been mechanical engineering. I took and passed the PE in ME-TFS in October. From your description of you most recent job experience, I think TFS sounds like a good fit. Either way, there are going to be topics on the exam...

I searched my name on the license lookup just now and I have been assigned a number! Much sooner than I expected.

I got an email this morning saying that my file is now administratively complete for submission to the Board for review. It says I will be notified by mail of the Board's decision. I'm assuming this is the status update previously promised, and they're letting me know that they don't need...

The multiple choice questions weren't bad, all of the applicable rules and regulations can be found online so it's just a matter of educating yourself. I was able to find a copy of the questions on the NCBELS website ahead of time. Now that we are into the new year, I'm hoping they will start...

I'm in the middle of the season, but I like it so far. Have you watched it or are you trying to decide if you want to watch?

Bumping this one up for the new cycle :) I submitted the short form and transmitted my NCEES record today to NCBELS. When I submitted the short form, the confirmation page said I will be notified by the Board via email about the status of the application within 7-10 business days. I'm not sure...

As a mom of two girls... I hope that wasn't my daughter. If it was, she was probably playing with the legos too.

For anyone who's following, I thought I'd give an update. After I re-submitted the two entries that I received feedback on, all 5 of my entries stayed at "Pending (NCEES)" for the last week. I finally saw some movement this morning and I have one entry 100% complete, two entries pending...

I filled it out. I passed TFS so I don't know my score. 42/80 seems low to be the highest failing score based on all the discussions about cut scores before results were released. Do you normally see failing scores higher than that? It seems to indicate that either there were a lot of problems...

I will add my experience as well. I hesitated to take the exam for years because my degree doesn't like up exactly with my work experience, so I didn't feel confident I would be able to be successful in either subject. I have a Chemical Engineering degree but my job has always been mechanical...

I submitted all of my work experience entries on Thursday. Yesterday evening I got feedback on two of them (out of 5) asking for revisions. The rest still said they were under review by NCEES. The two I got feedback on are not in chronological order, so I'm not sure how they decide what order to...

Yes. In some states, you are allowed to sit for the exam without having to meet the experience requirements. I'm in NC and I know of two people in my office who have taken the exam before they had four years of qualified experience.

I submitted my work experience to NCEES today. I have everything else processed and ready to go. Any idea how long it takes NCEES to review and send to your supervisor(s) for verification? Now that I know I passed, I wish I had already done this part too. But I was afraid to tempt fate.

It's for real, I passed, but I'm not sure I believe it yet.
