Relevant Work Experience for P.E.?
Relevant Work Experience for P.E.?
(OP)
Has anyeone come from a manufacturing background and been able to use their time spent in manufacturing towards the 2 years of experience required for your P.E.? I'm an EE and I spent 2 years as a electrical process engineer doing mostly programming, very little design, some design review, and lots of working with vendors to resolve equipment issues and I'm afraid that it won't help me qualify to become a P.E. ... do you have any advice?

So where are you located? I thought the requirement was 4 years experience?

dpc -- I'm in California. The requirement is 4 years of school and 2 years of work experience in this state. They also charge $275 to apply for the P.E. and only refund half if you do not qualify, which is why I figured I would see if anyone had any advice before donating my $137.50.

The first check is the hardest one to write - you'll be writing many more to the state after you get your PE. And they do need the money
Maybe your employer will reimburse you?
You could also call the State Board and just ask them.

Of course the PE board literature is the source document you should be looking at. I think the PE license application has some guidance that helps you understand the requirements.
For future reference, if it is simply a question of board requirements, then I think this discussion should be in some other forum

On the other hand, I guess your question was specifically related to people with similar experience and how their experience was evaluated in PE application so I understand why you posted here.

Then talk about those one of two times where you had almost a near miss of a total breakdown and how someone, not necessarily you, saved the day and what was your role in the salvage plan.
dig in you will find plenty.
