PE exam referrals

I applied for, took & passed the ME PE ~20 years ago. I worked in an industry where licensing was not required & therefore rare.

I used a couple of college profs & my supervisors (non-PE's) & I explained the situation and was allowed to sit for the exam.

I suggest you use supervisors & clients rather than strangers, the references must be familiar w/ you & your work.

If your honest about the situation & get good references you'll be able to sit for the exam

That depends on where you are. In some states (ME in particular) the board is quite unbending on the subject-- 3 references MUST be from PEs

In Ct., 4 of 5 must be licensed. I have to check whether it's a hard and fast rule. Regards, Jack

I found an app for CT on the web & it asks for 5 refs (3 of which must be PE's) the app is a rev dated May 02

The requirement for 3 PE's still might be a problem if none of your supervisors / employers were PE's.

Too bad, UT only requires that you have a PE sign for your required experience.

Maybe consider appyling for licensure in a state that has a reciprocity agreement with yours, then after you receive the PE in that state, apply in yours.
