Hi everyone,
Long story short - APEGA (The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta) required me to take the FE exam in order to get my license in Alberta, Canada. I'm internationally educated, I took my BSc in Poland and MSc in England, hence this weird requirement. Anyways, I found out that I passed the exam two days ago.
... and that's what made me think - why stop half way? Take the PE exam, get your license in the US. I'm probably never going to use it as I am happy where I am, but why stop now.
Does anyone know what is the best board to register with in the case like mine? I was thinking about Texas, as Texas does a lot of oil and gas structures like Alberta so there is a chance that I could make some use of my PE license in the US, but I don't know how they would treat a case like mine. I know that Engineers Canada has some sort of agreement with Texas Board of Engineers, but the only thing that I found based on that is that Texas Board accepts engineers from Canada and waives the requirement for US citizenship/visa/permanent residency. Any suggestions?
