CA PE for FL civil engineer
CA PE for FL civil engineer
(OP)
Hi, I am a civil engineer working in South Florida. I passed my FE and currently have 2 years of work experience (1.5 yrs in Maryland, 6 mo in Florida). Like most states, FL requires engineers to work at least 4 years prior to sitting for the PE. I'm considering sitting for the CA PE a year early (April '07) and had TWO questions. Will the FL PE Board allow me to pass the test in '07 and petition for my PE when I have 4 yrs experience in '08? Do I have to pass BOTH the CA NCEES exam and Surveying/Seismic exam, or just the NCEES exam, to become registered in FL?
Thank you for the info,
Jim

Again, I haven't researched every state, so I could have it wrong.

It is very readable and goes thru the entire process, step by step. The discussion for PE requirements begins on page 5.

It's been a while, but seems like WA and maybe NV had similar seismic requirements to CA, so structural licenses in those states could get you one in CA as well- unlike many of the other states.

I suggest as others have, that you contact the Florida Board ( www.fbpe.org )

Indiana and a few other states, take the sequence literally. FE exam, 4 years experience THEN the PE exam. Becuase of this he would have to sit for the exam for the state of Indiana.
I would recommend waiting the four years to prevent future problems, ie 3 years compared to 4 years.
BTW - A rapidly growing number of states are not allowing licensure to individual without an ABET - EAC degree. In the past, an ABET accredited degree, regardless of EAC, TAC, ASAC or CEC, was acceptable. Some of these states are FL,AL,MS,LA,AR,TN,MI, and MO.
