State Engineer License Boards Reject Effort To Rescind 2006 'B+30' Exam Rule
An effort pushed by several state engineering licensing boards to rescind a requirement passed last year that B.S.-degreed engineers must have 30 extra credit hours before taking license exams was defeated in an Aug. 24 vote at the boards’ national convention in Philadelphia.
About 40 board representatives at the annual meeting of the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying voted against the rescission move, 19 supported it and nine abstained, according to attendees.
