Does anyone from Washington have a good quality vector image of George Washington? I would like to make a stamp but can't find any good images of George.

Yes, all stamps for each state are supposed to be the same. The company that had the best price on self-inking stamps doesn't sell engineering stamps specifically. He does custom stamps and you can put anything you want on them. By artwork, I meant that I created an AutoCAD version of the seal...

So, now that results have come out, is anyone trying these places out for the seal / stamp?

While the NCEES can stop people from taking exams out of state via proctoring, I don't think they will ever be able to prevent people from driving to another state and taking the exam there (as well as applying for licensure in the other state). I don't think states are allowed to bar out of...

Focus on passing the first time!

You should apply to be a PE in a nearby state or fly to CA to take the exam there. Your results from a PE exam will be sent to the NC board if you take the exam in NC. By the way, the "case by case" exemption will get the NCEES in trouble via the state boards because the states have to treat...

But most lawyers don't defend people for capital murder cases. There area whole lot of non-trial attorneys (patent lawyers, contracts, union, etc) that a person who failed the bar exam a few times would do just fine. Same thing with engineers. You may not want the engineer who failed five...

Starting with the October 2010 exam, the NCEES will no longer recognize proctored exams. That means that if you sit for the exam in New York, your results will go to the New York Board. (http://www.ncees.org/About_NCEES/Licensure_Exchange/Licensure_Exchange/Licensure_Exchange_August_2009.php)

I don't believe you the Montana board requires continuous licensure in the state where you took the test this is the case for the Montana board. I'm pretty sure I've seen in their minutes where a person was originally licensed in Montana, got comity somewhere else, let their Montana license...

I think there might be a slight misunderstanding of comity. When I apply to another state with comity, I have to fill out the complete application (experience, references, work history, etc) just as if I was a regular applicant. The only thing that comity does is allow me not to take the exam...

Sraymond, Yes, I also have read that the NCEES is against taking exams in states that you don't live in. It bugs the heck out of me because the decision on whether you should be licensed in a particular state is solely up to that state. For example, the Washington State Board doesn't get to say...

I went to college with a guy who had to take Thermodynamics 3 or 4 times because he just didn't get it. He finally passed and graduated, and now has a BSMET degree on his wall. I also went to college with many people who sailed through their freshman classes, got bored, and now work at the...

I got a 0% annual raise and a 0% one time bonus, but significant amounts of prestige from the other Professional Engineers in my group. My company paid $0 toward my P.E. license and $0 toward my PE application. But my company has some other awesome benefits (paid overtime) and are great to work...

Nevermind.....

Chaocl, If it were me (which it's not), I wouldn't trust the NCEES survey. The survey shows that Montana doesn't care if you take the PE exam early. However, during the August meeting, the board rejected 3 - 5 people that took the exam early. For what it is worth, check with the laws of your...
