Simple question about a Comity Application in Ohio.
I am currently a registered PE in good standing in PA, with a 4-yr civil engineering technology degree and seeking comity in Ohio. Ohio regs state 8 years experience (two could be taken prior to graduation i.e. a co-op) is required between FE and PE with a 4-yr ABET Eng Tech degree. I took my FE and PE in Pennsylvania, and had 4 years experience, per the PA regs. Ohio will not grant comity, due to their experience requirement between the two tests. As of my time of application to Ohio, I would have had 10 years experience, though the last 6 were as a PE in Pennsylvania.
Obviously, state by state requirements are different but has anyone had something similar occur? The clerk (not the Board members) claims my only option is to retake the NCEES PE exam AGAIN as then I would have experience between my FE and (second) PE exam.
Thanks for any input
