Projects worked on by Industrial Engineers to become a Prof. Engineer

Projects worked on by Industrial Engineers to become a Prof. Engineer

(OP)
I would like to find out typical projects that Industrial Engineers have worked on or need to work on in order to gain work experience credit for Professional Engineering status.

RE: Projects worked on by Industrial Engineers to become a Prof. Engineer

From what I can tell, so long as you work for a licensed PE you will gain the appropriate experience. The problem I've found is that there aren't a lot of licensed industrial PE's around.

RE: Projects worked on by Industrial Engineers to become a Prof. Engineer

Many states do require that the work for your license be supervised by a PE. Check your local state requirements. In some cases you may be able to use customers and/or vendors for PE letters of support.

One source would be to contact the National Society of Professional Engineer office (www.NSPE.org). They are resources for information on contacting state societies. Many states are looking into the need to require a PE license for industry. It is good to see people like yourself pursue the PE license and encourge the need for engineering professionalism in industry. Talk to your enployeer about your needs and license goals.

Continue the course and GOOD LUCK!

I would go to the ppi2pass.com site and look at their FAQ section.
But as posted above, the best source of licensing requirements is the State Board where you intend to get your license. This site has contact information for all the State Boards; and URL's and e-mail addresses when available.

RE: Projects worked on by Industrial Engineers to become a Prof. Engineer

Most state engineering boards know that most IEs don't work for PEs.  In general, the boards want to see some number of PEs (usually 5 or more) as references along with a reference from the people you have worked for. The PE references can be in other areas of the company, vendors, customers, former profs, etc.  By the way, I'm putting on PE exam review courses for IE in Denver and Atlanta this fall.  If you are interested, call Lisa Zaken at 1-800-494-0460 or write her at lzaken@iienet.org.
