I also have an MS in structural, but have many years working as an RE and in design with underground utilities and roadways. My feeling when I took the construction PM exam was that it encompassed many portions of the other depth sections. For example, as an RE you need to know how to...

Thanks! This clears up my original concerns with Indiana's bylaws etc... Also, good to know there are additional fees I did not see in my research...

This is the most expensive comity fee I have found. I am looking into applying for a Wisconsin license and I believe it's only around $80, which seems to be the case for some of the other states I have researched.

Quick update in case anyone is wondering about this, I emailed the North Carolina board to ask since we are looking into moving there in the future. Their response was as long as we have an ABET degree, passed the FE and PE, and have 4 years of experience we can apply for comity.

Thanks, I guess I should expand on my original question. PDHs would be a great bonus, but my company is looking to grow our civil side so the ability to network/mingle would be the dominating factor. Anything like World of Concrete, ACI's concrete convention etc...?

Does anyone have a recommendation or suggestion regarding technical seminars, conventions, and conferences? Anything worth the time and money? I'm looking specifically for transportation/highway engineering topics, anything that would assist in PDH accrual is a plus. Thanks!

I just received a very vague email from the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency, basically stating they cannot legally interpret the administrative code or statutes and that they cannot affirm eligibility. The only thing they did say, after apologizing for the vagueness of their response, was...

Apparently there is a difference between comity and reciprocity - just in case you are like me and did not realize that. Comity is recognizing your license by waiving some of the administrative steps and exams that are normally required if you were not already a PE. Reciprocity basically...

Thank you for posting this topic. This has me worried too. I am looking into applying for comity in Indiana but the board administrative rules refer back to the requirements to take the exam in Indiana while referring to sub sections for reciprocity, needless to say I am a little confused. The...

^Agreed.

In case anyone is looking for another source to negotiate their salary, ASCE and ASME have a joint salary survey from 2012. It breaks down each job function, length of experience, education, industry, metro area etc... similar to NSPE's document it seems. You can download the PDF, if you want...

According to the CTS website and the way I read it, that deadline is for all applicants that have passed the FE and have an ABET accredited degree, both first time test takers and repeat takers. Their website also states that people without ABET accredited degrees need to apply directly to...

Congrats by the way! That's what I get for typing too fast

When I passed, I got a letter from CTS a few days after they posted results and a few weeks later I got a letter from IDFPR explaining my next steps. Did they change the process? I only passed in April, so I don't think it would have changed that much that much since then, but who knows.

Congrats guys!
