we have been fingerprinting everywhere, why can they just share the database....I applied in 2012 but it gave me a statement with info about getting my fingerprints done. I think we all may need to have it done no matter when we applied. Apparently renewals need to do it too so it doesn't appear there is any grandfathering.
Me too! I just called the board, and was told that the only thing I need to do now is to get my seal, and I can do the criminal check when I renew my license next year.Looks like I'm all done?!? I am now showing in the state roster with a grant date of 5/21/2014 and an expiration date and a PE license number. Maybe I don't have to do the fingerprinting after all (since I originally applied in 2012). Also, if there is a required state fee of $200, I guess it paid it at some point in the past 2 years.
sounds a good idea. don't know if it makes sense for me to study for a PE in a different area of electrical... no matter which area in Electrical, the roster will always say ELE....or maybe I can get a mechanical in HVAC?Awesome... now I need to work on getting Civil added as an area of competency to my Mechanical.
Thanks for the tips! since getting a new degree is most likely not an option for me, I need to find another PE in the area I would like to add to my resume, then work on it. civil always goes with mechanical, so you made a right choice of combinationI'm working in civil now but took the Mechanical test purely because I felt a better chance to pass. I just read the board rules. You can have an area of competency added one of three ways: 1) additional degree, 2) SER with 4 years of experience verified by at least one PE in the new field, 3) exam. I'm going for number 2 since I've always worked kind of a hybrid of mechanical and civil. I'm hoping my original SER and references will suffice. I need to call the board and see if that works or if it needs to be 4 years of experience after the initial application or what...
It's been 2 years since I originally applied and if I had to wait another 2 before submitting a new SER, I'd consider taking a crack at a civil exam.
You are acting fast, thumb upGot my License number today from TX. My stamp is already on order. They said the official certificate comes in a couple weeks.
Waiting on the conversation with the boss........
Yeah, I kind of had to get going on the stamp because the TX board requires you stamp a document for them before you can do anything. You also only have 60 days to do so. It will be nice to get it in the mail next week.You are acting fast, thumb upGot my License number today from TX. My stamp is already on order.
