Using Foreign Experience for PE Registration
Using Foreign Experience for PE Registration
(OP)
Hi,
I'm in the process of working towards my PE and was wondering if anyone has successfully used experience gained abroad as part of the 4 years experience requirement? I have contacted the state board and they have advised that the 4 years needs to be 'under the supervision of a PE or similarly qualified individual' but wouldn't comment any further.

RE: Using Foreign Experience for PE Registration
I tried to use a P.Eng from Canada; my state board contacted me asking why one of my supervisors was not licensed. I had clearly stated which province he was licensed in, and the license number. I ended up providing an additional reference licensed in the US. Maybe it would have worked out, but it is not worth the headache if you can avoid it.

Contact your licensing board and explain your specific situation and start gathering the information for presenting to the licensing board.
