PE Exam Education/Experience Requirements

[atymtrvlr]

I reside and work in CA and I am interested in taking the EIT and PE exams in CA.

I have 16 years experience as an Electrical Designer. I do not poses a 4 year degree. Can anyone tell me if I can sit for the PE, substituting work experience for the BSEE?

State board requirements are ambiguous in this area stating 'various combination's' of work experience/education are acceptable.

Thank you in advance,
