In Louisiana most forms of mapping are considered engineering as well as surveying. Only mapping that requires a surveyor as opposed to an engineer is boundary surveys. I am a GIS Professional and PE in Louisiana and Florida. GIS experience can count as engineering experience. However, if...
I'm still waiting on my license by comity. Started the process on Aug 8 and they received everything by Aug 17. Still shows under administrative review.
You must have had a bad instructor. I took the PPI civil review course this spring as well. My instructor was Andy Richardson. He was awesome. I passed the exam first try.
My NCEES record process started June 8. Went back and forth with their reviewing engineer on my experience write-up for a couple weeks. Got my record number on July 14.
You also have to list a contact to verify your engineering experience. Fortunately, two of my references will also vouch for my employment. So I only needed to bother five people total.
I do have a bone to pick with NCEES (I know, get in line). One reference that I wanted to use is a...
How long did it take to get your record? I submitted mine application to NCEES yesterday. I'm assuming it will take a while. Do that mail something for your references to fill out?
Can any of you provide some insight on the distinction between surveying services, engineering services, and mapping services? My firm is a registered engineering firm in Louisiana. We have two PEs on staff (myself and my business partner). We are a very small environmental consulting firm...

Here's what the Louisiana board told me when I asked the same question:
"We are working to license those that passed the exam by June 1, which is our next board meeting.
If that is the case, youll be notified by email and mail of your PE number. In early August, youll be sent an invoice to...
Pipeline, water resources does have some pressure and flows, but not a ton. Maybe 3-5 depth questions. A good bit of open channel plus all that environmental stuff like water / wastewater treatment, water chemistry, wells, etc.

First time taking the exam. 22 years after passing the FE. Haven't done much engineering for the past 18 years. Mainly environmental consulting. I knew this would be very tough, but it really wanted to do it. Took both PPI review courses: Civil with Andy...
