The process for applying for a Professional Engineer's (PEO) license in 2023 will likely be similar to the process in 2021.
The requirements for obtaining a Professional Engineer's (PEO) license vary depending on the jurisdiction in which you are seeking licensure. Generally, to become a Professional Engineer, you must meet certain educational and work experience criteria, pass a comprehensive exam, and in some states, complete continuing education units. Please contact your local Professional Engineers Board to find out what the specific requirements are in your state.
The first step is to successfully complete a Professional Engineer's Examination (PEX) administered by the Professional Engineers of Ontario (PEO). The PEX consists of two parts. The first part is a multiple-choice exam based on the candidate's engineering discipline. The second part is a practical exam that assesses the candidate's ability to solve engineering problems.
After successfully completing the PEX, the candidate must have their experience in the engineering field verified by three professional engineers. The candidate will need to provide references from their employers that can attest to their engineering experience.
The candidate will then need to submit their official transcript from an accredited engineering program. They will also need to submit proof of their registration in good standing with the PEO.
Once these documents have been received and verified, the candidate can apply for a PEO license. The application must be accompanied by a fee and will be reviewed by the PEO's licensing committee. The committee will review the candidate's qualifications, experience, and references before deciding whether to grant a license.
Once the applicant has received their license, they must renew it every two years to maintain their status as a professional engineer. Renewal requires the submission of a renewal fee as well as proof of continuing education credits.
The Professional Engineers of Ontario (PEO) website is a great resource for more information about the PEO licensing process in 2023.
