The Experience "Loophole" in the PE Licensure Process

Imagine this: you earn an ABET-accredited degree, pass the FE, and work in engineering for 15 years…only to be told you can’t take the PE Exam because there are no PEs to sign off on your experience?! 😨

That’s exactly what an engineer shared with us on LinkedIn, and that’s the same problem many engineers face in industries where the PE isn’t as common as civil engineering. 😱

So, in this episode, Mark Oakeson joins us again to dive into this loophole in the PE licensure process that leaves a lot of engineers stuck…plus different ways you can get around it if you find yourself in the same situation. 😉

If you’re a civil engineer who knows you’ll be taking the PE Exam at some point in your career, then this is a must-listen episode if you want to avoid this problem later on. 👍

Go check it out! 🎧
