quick question. this has probably been answered before, but does "wall certificate" refer to that little envelope sized license that hangs on the wall, or does Florida actually send us a certificate similar to a diploma. just curious as I have no clue.

thanks.

Florida gives out ginormous certificates (at least they used...this will be the time they change it :p ) to hang/frame/show off on your wall.

^^^ The wall certificate (Diploma) I received was completely off the chain! If you intend to frame it, I think you will need to go to a specialty shop (or FES) in order to do it since it is a non-standard size. Like a bum, my wall cert is STILL in the envelope that it came in on the top shelf of a closet.

This is what the Pennsylvania Board adds to correspondence about the PE exam.

" **Note: You are NOT permitted to practice as a professional engineer or professional land surveyor until you have received your license from the Board. Allow approximately 90 days from receipt of your result letter for processing of a license."

 
I think you can say that you are, however, you can't sign anything until you recieve your certificate and license number.

Congratulations on passing! :bananalama:

This whole process is nothing but wait, wait, wait. Wait 4 years to take the exam. Wait 8 weeks for the results. If your lucky, wait just 8 more weeks for your registration to be processed. I'm tired of waiting.

My boss ordered new cards for me, so I guess I'm going with the flow. Went ahead and changed my email signature to say "PE" instead of "EIT". I like the way it looks.

 
Could somebody call themselves a PE if they stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night?

Ok, now wait and see if you are getting a substantial pay raise- Not the miserable $1/hr but at least the more significant $5.50/hour. Wait wait wait....
