Yup, as CAPLS said, many states just need any NCEES engineering exam passed in order to get the PE designation. Indiana (and some other states) allows the engineer to decide what he is comfortable sealing by experience instead of limiting you to your education/exam. Many states allow you to do...

You are right on! I ran into this problem with Illinois. Since I didn't have a Civil degree, they didn't accept my education and required that I have (8) years experience (an additional 29 months from where I was). After my (8) years passed, I resubmitted my work experience form and they issued...

Maji, yes the surveying exam is what has demotivated me to obtain this license. But, I suppose it is only money for a review course to get this passed. What will save me is not actually having to do surveying, but just knowing the concepts (since it is computer based). No, I don't have an ME...

I have posted this before, but I think I am getting more serious about taking the Civil PE so I can become licensed in CA. By degree I am a Mechanical Engineer (BSME) but my experience from graduation (2006) has been structural. I took and passed the 16-hour structural exam in 2012. Now I want...

You verified multiple states? Do you have to? I only requested verification from my home state and there was a fee associated with Indiana. I just sent verification for the 7 out of my other 9 states that verify for free. I won't do the other two with fees unless I need to. I don't know why...

They did fast track my migration after my third or fourth call today... I have now been migrated and I can complete the missing parts of migration [work gap, work experience (I don't know why they think my last employment ended 2 years before it actually did), Exam and license verification (I...

I just called back. You cannot send out reference requests until after the account has been migrated. Migration did not start until today when I requested a transmittal. Me linking my account last week did what? I don't know, but I do know NCEES has done a terrible job corresponding with me. I...

I stumbled across this when I wanted to submit to Ohio. Went to do a transmittal to find out that I need to link my legacy account (which will take up to 2 weeks). I saw today that I could submit a transmittal so I called Customer Support and I was told I can go through checkout but no...

Dear Civil Engineering Community, I have approached my professional career in an unorthodox way. I obtained my degree in Mechanical Engineering and found a job doing structural building engineering in Indiana. In Indiana, we are not discipline specific, so I sat for and passed the 16 hour SE...

I admit, I am indignant because education is supposed to get you to experience. Passing the SE exam shows my education. However, I will wait the two more years. I don't have to like the rules, but I will have to follow them. Wouldn't anyone else be upset if they were told their education...

I just received my response from IL. They deferred my application pending 15 semester hours of Structural Analysis and Design courses OR an additional 29 months of structural experience. This news kind of ticked me off. This is my resume: BSME from Purdue (ABET) (6) years experience 16 hr...

John - Take a look at this thread, specifically post #4. There is a link and some information I think is applicable to you.

dakota - I got the same email :oldman: I am still waiting on my supervisor to fill out my experience form so I can get my IL SE taken care of. :beat:

You have my condolences as well. This is terrible news. I'm apathetic about most things, but this I can relate to and it makes my stomach churn.

Did you log on to the NCEES website? Did it also report that you had passed?
