2）在外州（VA）考，是否可以转成加州的。
3）我是桥梁专业，请教有SE的同行，考试准备是桥梁方面多一点，还是房屋的多一点。
4）SE拿到后，转工作比PE要容易吗。
谢谢。 | n******n
发帖数: 1030 | 2 好像bridge不需要SE吧，如果你想凭借SE转building,其实优势也不大，building需要
SE的公司都特别picky,没几个小时面试，或者多次面试，很难搞定。另外如果光有SE,
没有building 背景，也不好转。
building市场还不如bridge呢，还是好好干bridge吧。
点。

发帖数: 154 | 3 1)全美国都采用NCEES 16hr SE exam, 加州以前的SE3已经取消了；
2)要有加州PE才行；
3)上午选择题里桥梁和房屋的比例可参考NCEES SE exam 的样题；下午的题桥梁和房屋
是分开的，你可以自己选，所以如果你是搞桥梁的，重点当然是桥梁；
4)肯定会容易些；尤其是对于那些要求有SE license的州

想职场上有竞争力，因为没有本地学位，经验也是国内的有闪光点。同时想拿到绿卡后
开自己的公司。如果你是同行，不知有何建议，在此先谢。

发帖数: 154 | 6 你得有加州PE才行，加州PE考试要加考地震，不过你既然16hr都过了，这个也就小菜一
碟了。
原来加州的SE3-CA Seismic Specific Exam倒是不容易，但现在已经取消了。

你要对SE感兴趣还是去考考吧，过了总归会有好处的，Good luck!

我觉得这以后要求可能会越来越高
早点考完的好
不然以后一把老骨头，考不动了

Question 9
What steps must an applicant take to obtain the authority use the title "
Structural Engineer?"
The applicant must comply with all of the following requirements:
a. Not have committed any acts or crimes, which would be grounds for denial
of licensure (see Question 18).
b. Have a valid, unexpired license as a Civil Engineer in California.
c. Obtain the Structural Engineer application package from the Board‟s
website or by requesting a copy from the Board office.
d. Obtain at least three references who are authorized to use the title "
Structural Engineer" by having passed the Western Zone Structural Engineer
Examination and who have personal knowledge of the applicant's qualifying
work experience. See Question 26, part c for information on how to obtain
suitable references. These three references, taken together, must verify
three full years (36 months) of responsible charge experience. Responsible
charge experience does not begin until licensure as a professional or civil
engineer has been obtained (in California the date used is that of the last
part of the exam by which the applicant obtained his or her license. See
Question 22, part d.)
e. Type the application and the engagement record portion of the Engagement
Record and Reference Forms with all statements made under oath. The use of
the words "see attached" and the inclusion of additional documents and/or a
resume is not acceptable and may not be substituted for the completed
engagement record portion of the forms. The engagement record portion of the
forms must be completed in sufficient detail to allow the Board to
determine that the nature and the extent of the structural engineering work
claimed to have been performed by the applicant has indeed been qualifying.
Since the space provided on each form for the description of experience is
somewhat limited, it is permissible for the applicant to continue the
description of his or her experience on another sheet of paper, provided
however, that the experience description must begin in the space provided on
the board approved form. (See Question 19 for the required amount of
experience to be verified). While typing may seem to be an unreasonable
requirement, the Board receives about 13,000 applications a year, all of
which must be reviewed by several different people, and microfilmed. Hence,
the requirement that the application and accompanying forms must be
typewritten; handwritten applications and forms will not be accepted.
f. Sign the application and the engagement record portion of the Engagement
Record and Reference Forms under penalty of perjury.
g. Send the Engagement Record and Reference Forms to the reference persons.
The references must complete their portion of the form (PART B), sign the
form, affix their seal or stamp to the form, seal it in the envelope
provided, sign across the flap and affix their seal over their signature and
return the sealed envelopes to the applicant. References from persons with
structural authority in states other than California must be notarized to
indicate that the license which qualifies that person to be a reference is
still valid and unexpired.
h. If the applicant wishes to be notified when his or her application has
been forwarded to professional staff for review, and when the review of the
application is complete, the applicant should include two postcards with his
or her name and address on the front and the required postage affixed.
i. Return the two stamped cards (optional), the typed application, the typed
Engagement Record and Reference Forms in the sealed envelopes, along with
the applicable filing fee, to the Board. All of the foregoing material must
be returned to the Board in the envelope provided and it must be postmarked
or hand delivered by the final filing date.
j. Take and pass the 8-hour NCEES Structural II examination and the 8-hour
California State-Specific Structural Engineering Seismic examination. If the
applicant has taken and passed the NCEES Structural II examination in
another state, the applicant must submit verification from the state in
which the examination was passed. | n******r
发帖数: 718 | 11 Question 17.
A person is a licensed Professional, Geotechnical, or Structural Engineer
in another state of the United States. Can such an engineer obtain licensure
in California (by comity) without retaking the regular written examinations?
Usually, if the engineer complies with all of the following requirements:
a. Provide evidence of having passed an eight-hour, written EIT/FE
examination or be exempt therefrom (see Question 3 for criteria for
exemption).
b. Provide evidence of having gained licensure in another state by passing
an eight-hour written professional engineering examination [except for
structural and geotechnical engineering; see (h) below]. That license must
be current at the time that the application is submitted, or it must have
been transferred to another state where the other state license is current.
An applicant for licensure as a professional engineer in California by
comity may only receive such a license in one branch of engineering, unless
the applicant has passed more than one 8-hour professional engineering
examination. Thus, an applicant who has obtained one license in California
by comity will usually have to take the professional engineer's examination
for each additional branch of engineering in which they desire licensure.
Furthermore, if an applicant cannot substantiate that he or she took a
branch specific eight-hour written professional engineering examination,
their application will be reviewed by members of the Board prior to
developing a decision whether or not to grant licensure by comity to the
applicant.
c. For the branch of engineering in which the applicant is requesting comity
with California, provide evidence that the applicant's education and
experience is qualifying in conformance with California law. Thus, if an
applicant's license in another state is generic (e.g., Professional Engineer
) and is current, the applicant may gain licensure in the particular
California branch to which his or her experience and education indicate the
closest relationship, if any.
d. Submit the application package for the branch in which the applicant
wishes to be considered. This application package is the same one as for
taking the examination, so the applicant must indicate on the application
that he or she desires comity. See Questions 4 and 9. Comity applicants
submitting NCEES Council records must complete the Application for Licensure
as a Professional Engineer form, items 1-12, including the Engagement
Summary. Engagement
Record and Reference Forms need not be submitted unless the NCEES council
record is not current. Civil engineer applicants must have references from
at least four civil engineers.
e. Enclose a check or money order for the application fee.
f. Pass a take-home written test on California engineering laws and rules.
In addition, to obtain a civil engineering license, an applicant must pass
additional written tests on seismic principles and engineering surveying
principles. See Question 4, part b.
g. Allow approximately three months for processing, as the Board must
approve the applicant's license at scheduled Board meetings, which take
place approximately every six weeks.
h. To obtain comity in structural engineering, an applicant must first
become licensed as a Civil Engineer in California. For comity as a
Structural Engineer, the applicant must have obtained licensure as a
Structural Engineer either by taking and passing the 16-hour Western States
Structural Engineer Examination; by taking and passing the 8-hour NCEES
Structural II examination and the Washington state-specific structural
engineering examination; or by taking and passing the 8-hour NCEES
Structural II examination and the California state-specific Structural
Engineering Seismic examination. At present there is no comity with other
states for geotechnical engineering. (See also Question 9 for other
application requirements.) |
