    Qualifying Civil Engineering Experience for PE License

    I ended up getting back into engineering design before going for my PE license, so I had 4 years of engineering experience on top of the construction management experience. You will also need to check the application requirements in terms of how what the California board is looking for. What...

    Qualifying Civil Engineering Experience for PE License

    Look at your board rules as it relates to references. I was in the same situation as you when I went for my PE in NJ. I couldn't count the position towards my engineering experience but I think I still included it in case there was any question about my other work. You may not have worked under...

    PE License Experience Requirements

    Based on this, the work as an undergrad wouldn't count. For work during your masters degree,it may depend on which you were doing full time vs. part-time. If you worked full-time and took1-2 classes a semester your full-time experience should govern. If you did Masters full-time and side work...

    NJ Application Status - Stuck Pending

    The standard application process usually takes a few months for them to review application, verify credentials, evaluate experience etc., verify degree etc. Due to Covid-19 restrictions that time may have been extended. After that is completed, at the Board meeting they vote on the applications...

    Getting stamps from another company

    There are a few areas of concern in this thread. 1) Unless you have your PE, you are not an engineer and can not promote yourself as an Engineer. You could be issued a violation by the Board of Professional Engineers in your state which would stay on your record and could affect you getting...

    Can I apply for PE exam without getting EIT certification? (NJ)

    The experience is required before license is issued. However, if you get your experience before taking the 2 exams, and you meet all requirements for the PE license, the time to process EIT certificate and PE license may be the same. Previously you had to apply to the Board for EIT...

    Can I apply for PE exam without getting EIT certification? (NJ)

    The EIT certificate gives you no professional power(ability to sign/seal plans, testify at hearings etc.), but gives credability and lets others know that you passed the FE exam and are working towards the PE since there used to be a 3-4 year gap in most states between passing FE exam and...

    Can I apply for PE exam without getting EIT certification? (NJ)

    Do you have the required experience to qualify for PE license? Looking over the NJ regulations, it doesn't look like you necessarily need to have EIT certification to qualify for the PE license, but you need to pass the 2 exams. As an EIT, you don't have the power to seal plans and EIT...

    NJ Results

    About 1 week after NCEES released results they sent email with license activation form to complete and payment instructions. Once test results are released, the board has to go through the applicants to make sure all items are current. This may take longer now depending on Covid-19 protocols...

    NJ Results

    License takes about 1 month or so to process. You should receive a license activation form to complete along with instructions for payment. Once DCA processes that, there is another division in NJ that issues the actual license. I am going through the process right now for my NJ Planners...

    Which is best choice for PE construction course

    EET is or at least used to be much cheaper than SoPE. The EET depth course was very thorough and helpful. Based on what I've seen and read there seems to be 2 different teaching philosophies between the 2 courses. EET broke everything down and taught what you needed to know whereas SoPE seemed...

    Pe construction CBT exam

    When it comes to codes, you will need to be familiar with whatain the code and where to find stuff. For the past open book exams you were able to tab your references. With CBT, you don't want to walk into the test clueless and go through the manuals for the 1st time during the exam and search...

    Fence over public water drainage easment

    Have you checked your property deed? Does the easement run through your property, or just adjacent to the property? The height above the ditch probably has something to do with the design storm for the trench and being able to have a certain amount of water running through the ditch during...

    Fantasy Football 2021

    I'd be in. I'm not sure if there was an actual league last year. I know there was talks about doing one, but I was going through some personal issues at the time and decided not to participate. If people are not happy with the ESPN platform, I participate in a few leagues that use the Sleeper...

    Plywood between the 2x was popular with 2x4 wall framing so that the installed header would be the same thickness as the wall framing.

    Any PEs with experience moonlighting as a drafter?

    I did this for a while. Was there a specific question you were looking to have answered?

    Comity question - PA vs DE

    You should double check the exact legal code for experience. In NJ,the 4 years has to be under direct supervision of a PE. The additional schooling is because ABET schools have to follow specific curriculum with the courses. At a non accredited school, you may not cover all required topics...

    Passed the exam in NJ- License Application Questions

    References are supposed to be confidential and sent directly to the board by the person writing your reference. If the reference may be questionable, try to avoid using them unless you need them to validate your required engineering experience.
