I am planning to appear the Civil Engineering PE exam soon. I called Pennyslvania board and they say "even after having US masters and EIT you need do credential evaluation of your undergrad from CGFNS. NY state has residency requirement and an extra year than other states. California is the best place for these requirements, they dont care if you have a US degree and also 1 yr experience is enough, but the Siesmic and survey exam is a pain. Could you guys share your idea how it works in other states? I guess texas may be easy, they had no issue when appearing EIT?

Yes dude! Dai mainle pani just NY state ma email enquiry gareko, they replied me good thing. They are talking close about you. These ass need 12 years or more engineering coursework + practices. Tapainko ta mazzale pugcha ni!!! 80 dollar na ho. Kill that bill. I am also non NY resident, but I started. Just you need three NY PE stamps and 2 prof. signature (yo chanhi kirte dhasde pani huncha). Rest is luck, if you need three stamps...

@ dimehot Your information is quite confusing/misleading. You are true about 12 yrs of education and experience for NY state but bachelors degree counts as 8 yrs of education and will need 4 yrs of experience (used to be 5 yrs). See this table http://www.op.nysed.gov/prof/p... I found this link which gives requirements of all states. http://www.ppi2pass.com/ppi/PP... @granite: It is very difficult to show experience from Nepal. I would rather wait some more. @Nepal_ko_lato: Did u give PE from Maryland? Please share some ideas.

@ harke hawaldar, Thanks for the information. I have found that they also consider higher academic than bachelor level as work experience but only as an partial fulfilment for the required work experience (http://www.op.nysed.gov/prof/p.... But no idea how many yrs' work exp they consider for masters degree. I had emailed to them for inquiry. According to them, these fother muckers need at least 2 yrs work experience in US. If you found anything new, please share.

NY gives 6 years of credit for B.E. degree from Nepal as opposed to 8 years. It gives 1 years of credit for Master degree from US university. Hence total credit: 7 years for education Required credit: 12 years Work experience required: 5 years (2 years of exp. shud be using US codes n standars hence shud be in US) to be eligible to give PE

Unlike some of the states where the applicant shud go thru educational credential evaluation thur CGFNS or othere agency, NY does by itself. After they receive your transcripts they do the credential evaluation and give you 6 yrs of credit; Nepalese university not being a ABET credited University. Master's degree recieves no more than 1 yr of credit.

ल त्वांके हरु हो तिमीहरुले सोधेर खाने भएनौ , घर मा गएर दारु ठोक्न थाल कुरो चाँही यो हो To become licensed as a professional engineer in New York State you must complete a combination of education and experience for which years of credit are awarded. The credit awarded for your education determines the required number of years of experience you will need. A summary is provided below: -- A Total of 6 years of credit is required for admission to the Fundamentals of Engineering examination (Part A). -- A total of 12 years of credit is required for admission to the Principles of Practice examination (Part B) for licensure. If you would like your education to be evaluated for credit toward licensure, you must send Form 2 to the school(s) you attended and request they forward original documentation directly to us for evaluation. For a guidance document on various education programs please visit our websitehttp://www.op.nysed.gov/prof/p... Experience acceptable for licensure must be of a scope and nature satisfactory to the Department and must be appropriately verified by the Department. In accordance the Commissioner’s Regulations Part 68, the experience must: (a) demonstrate the intensive application of engineering principles in the practical solution of engineering problems; (b) demonstrate a knowledge of engineering mathematics, physical and applied sciences, proprieties of materials, and the fundamental principles of engineering design; (c) be broad in scope; (d) develop and mature the applicant's engineering knowledge and judgment; and (e) include at least two years of experience working on projects requiring knowledge and use of codes and practices commonly used in the United States. Experience descriptions must include specific duties you personally performed, indicate the complexity of the work and make clear the extent of your responsibility for the work. If you have successfully completed the NCEES FE and PE examinations, you must submit Form 3 to the jurisdiction(s) where you sat and successfully completed the exams and have them send verification directly to NYSED.

harke haldar - I did not take exam in MD. But one of my friend did. He was having hard time getting his application approved (experience of Nepal and other experience requirements) in Virginia but his application was approved in Maryland and he got PE.
