PE Seal & Stamp

[Booo]

I'm pretty sure Wyoming requires PDHs.

Eww

All states should require PDHs

Yeah, they probably all should, but gosh I’m glad mine doesn’t!

I want Wyoming so I can be a cowboy

I mean, they were the first state to issue a professional engineering license so I want them just for that reason alone, but yeah the stamp is badass!

And Pennsylvania already requires PDH's, so not a big deal if Wyoming does too.

Fun fact: There is a "Professional Engineer's Day". I didn't know this. It's August 3rd, same as my parents' anniversary, who are still happily married after 53 years.

See below. Charles Bellamy became the first PE in Wyoming in 1907.

What's the crossed out small image on the left?

A fit it.
I made the graphic shortly after the fitbit fiasco.

I needed something on the other side to balance with the can of old bay. I tried a traffic jam photo but it wasn't legible.

What is the Fitbit fiasco?

What is the Fitbit fiasco?

Some dude got kicked out of a testing facility on account of they were wearing a fitbit inside and NCEES got worried they were going to cheat with it by recording stuff, etc.

I have a GPS watch, so technically not a smart watch so it's "legal" by NCEES definition, but I didn't want to take a chance. Not knowing whether a clock would be inside the testing room and it being my first P/P attempt, I brought the only other watch I have, a mechanical Invicta (It was a gift; I'm not really into watches, or jewelry for that matter). I failed the exam and considered the watch bad luck after that. I took the watch out and wore it the day after I found out I passed the CBT since the curse had been lifted.

I think technically anything with a gps would be considered a smart watch. I figure it like this: if there is any remote possibility of a connection with anyone or anything outside the exam room, that piece of equipment is illegal and should not be brought in.

I know that the guy behind me this time around had a smart watch, a phone, and multiple pens, pencils, and erasers with him and he had to put everything up on the front table with the proctor. But he made like 4 trips cause he kept saying "Oh, I have this too."

Like how hard is it to read the rules and just leave everything but your books and a calculator at home?

So nobody has this number?

Everyone I know uses one of these!

I have this one. I don't plan to use it unless I'm signing off for another perspective PE candidate. I don't do any design work. I manage the people who manage the people who manage the people who stamp drawings.

I got mine from Acorn as I saw the 30% off promo code banner here. I forget exactly which one i bought but the free digital seals was a nice bonus. And they send them in a few formats (.dxf, pdf, jpg and i think one more) so you can just plop it however needed.

@csb can you confirm?

Wait- you all DON'T have PDH requirements?

WA doesn't have any.

 

[steel]

WA doesn't have any.

Neither does California. Though they're special and make it more difficult to get a license there so I guess it evens itself out that way.

There's a number of states that don't require any continuing education. According to this:

• Arizona
• California
• Colorado
• Connecticut
• Hawaii
• Massachusetts
• Rhode Island
• Washington

But the site may not be completely accurate. I know they still show the old LA continuing education requirement. LA's requirement changed in 2018 I think.

Nope, at this point I think the BPELSG couldn’t handle it! I think we’re close to (if not surpassing) 100k civil engineers. Granted, that’s since they started registering them, but still, it would be a massive requirement. Of course, I will never say never!
