In the January 2022 Newsletter, Art is giving a breakdown on the experience required to get your Professional Engineer (PE) license. Until recently–with a 4-year degree–you had to obtain 48 months of experience to qualify. The Florida Legislature recently changed the law and you will now need 72 months of experience before you can apply to be a PE. More about it in the newsletter…
In the November/December 2021 Newsletter, Art announced that he will review the process to get a PE license in the next couple of months, because there have been several significant changes to the process in recent years. He provided a brief overview of important changes.
In the October 2021 Newsletter, Art explains the role of the Florida Engineers Management Corporation (FEMC). More information at the FBPE website.
