PE Exam Foreign Degree
(OP)
Folks,
Do you know if there are states that allow you to appear for your PE if you have a Masters degree from the US but a Bachelors degree from a foreign country? I already have my EI certification.
Many States like Texas,Florida require that my Bachelors degree be evaluated to equate it to an ABET equivalent. However, I have heard that when credits that you have taken in foreign countries is evalulated, it ends up forcing you to take classes in ethics and statistics and chemistry etc.
Does anyone know if there is a way I can take my PE in another state, get it out of the way, and then work on getting taking stupid courses to get registered in Florida.

In some states, maybe many of them, you can't get your initial registration there unless you live there.

I know what is required in Florida (based on other people who have gone through the same procedure), but I want to get the PE monkey off my back (as in pass the exam first) and then worry about taking stupid classes to get registered here in FL.

For me it took nearly 2 years with ECEC. Most of it has to do with the fact that the engineering school I went in India does not have a policy to issue official transcripts & syllabi directly to ECEC. But after going through all this ECEC did the evaluation and stated that my engineering degree lacks "Basic Math" and "Humanities / Social Sciences". It is funny as they also say I have 3 times more than the required credit towards advanced math! When I talked to them they were looking for basic calculus which I had taken in pre-university level.
After getting this evaluation, I had wrote a letter to my state board stating the actual facts about the deficiencies along with a strong statement of my engineering experience and MS in USA. The board approved my application in less than 2 weeks without asking a single question. I walked in to the exam with less than 1 week of preparation and passed it.
Just don't give up. Be persistant and you will suceed. Let me know if you need any additional info.
