Semiconductor industry, no PEs to work under?

[SIZE=10.5pt]Hi there, [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]I'm current a fresh electrical engineering graduate out of college and gaining experience at a large IC company in Texas. However, where I work there are quite literally no professional engineers to work under. However, I found this excerpt "However, some jurisdictions will accept experience supervised by a qualified unlicensed engineer in industry situations where there is no offering of engineering services to the public". Would anyone happen to know what jurisdictions this refers to? Thanks![/SIZE]

You might start with the Texas State Board to see what they recommend.

Some states don't require that you work under a PE - NYS is one. Looking briefly at the TBPE website, it looks like you're required to have 3 PE references but it's possible to have references from people you did not work for, so perhaps you could get references through a professional organization. As cupojoe said, your best bet is to contact the TBPE and see what they suggest.
