Do you think the grandfathering provision is 4 years total or 4 years as a licensed PE? I'll probably end up taking the SE anyway to be able to do work in any state (my company has work scattered all over, so the SE would be a huge asset), but it'd be nice to not have to pass it in order to keep doing what I'm doing in state.

My guess is that it would be longer than the 4 years required for the PE...probably at least 4 years as a structural PE. Keep in mind though, a grandfathered PE probably wont be worth anything to California or Washington, you are going to want to pass the exam if thats your goal.

Anybody else still waiting on an email?

 

[Aikibeau]

Yes, I haven't gotten mine yet.

 

[Christopher Braden]

Still waiting on an SE email....doesnt seem like those have been released.

 

[mriemer]

Still waiting on the SE as well, They have always been rumored to be released later than the others.

Fortunately everything I've done has been structures, so as long as they accept structural experience as an EI I'll be good to go. Most of our work at this location is for projects in FL, so there'll be enough to do in state to keep me busy and employed. The SE is just a nice-to-have and makes me more valuable to the company, but it's not a deal breaker so long as I can continue to do stuff here.

It's definitely on the radar, though. The industry seems to be moving that way and I don't want to be left behind by not passing the SE too.

I was in the early talks for this bill that is being presented to the Florida Legislature. The way it was intended was to be 4 years of experience as a PE doing structures.

Any FGCU grads?DUNK CITY

Yep! First class - 2009.

 

[Christopher Braden]

I took it once before in the spring, but they released them like a month after the PE's. They don't do that in the fall...I dont know if I can handle it much longer!

 

[Christopher Braden]

Also NCEES says they have released them to the board....I can't imagine there were more than a dozen people taking it...only four in Orlando.

 

[GaryS]

Just got the email! Wooooo hooo pass! Last name S for those who are still thinking its alphabetically releasing.

Yeah, I was one of those 4 in orlando.

 

[WizIzzaPE!]

I passed!!! First time - Civil Transportation! That is a miracle. I don't even work in transportation!

Well congrats on passing. But why in gods green earth did you take an exam in a discipline you don't work in? How beneficial is that?

I currently work in construction, but I'm in the middle of a welcome career change into roadway / roadway drainage design. It seemed like a great idea at the time to prepare for my new career by taking either the transpo exam or water. In my opinion, there was too broad a spectrum of topics in the water exam, so I chose transpo. After the exam, I sure wished I had taken construction, though - thought I had failed!
