General

History: 16 Hour SE Exams prior to NCEES exams: IL, CA, WA, OR, HI, ID, and NV (for a short while) have had SE exams, starting with Title Restrictions and moving to Practice Restrictions or being originally a Practice Restriction. These exams have historically been accepted for comity /reciprocity for other 16 hour SE exams as long as the jurisdiction in which the exam was given verifies that it was a 16 hour, structural engineering specific exam. CA and IL had their own 16-hour exams, WA/OR/HI had a 16 hour joint exam. Many of these exams were in place in the 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s. The first SE I/II was given in 1985 and replaced the IL state exam. In the mid-80s, some of the western states' individual or joint exams merged their 16 hour SE exams into the Western States Exam. The Western States Exam was given under that name from 1986 through 1997. It was initially given in CA, HI, OR and WA, later NV and ID joined in its use. Therefore 16 hour SE exams have been documented by the western states, Illinois, and occasionally a short period by other states, since the 1960s. Some states had 8 or 16 hour SE exams prior to this time as well.

Mississippi Law makes no specific designations as to the disciplines of engineering practice for

which Certificates of Licensure as Professional Engineer are issued; however, the Code of

Professional Conduct provides that a professional engineer shall practice only in the disciplines in

which he is qualified by education and/or experience. The PE application does not require listing

state: "20 CSR 2030-5.090 Scope of Examination--Engineers" The application for licesure does

not list the NCESS "Structural" exam on the Civil exam for declaring which one the applicant is

PURPOSE: This rule prescribes hours and subject matter of engineering examinations.

consist of two (2) four (4)-hour sections. Any reexamination shall consist of all of part I or part two

The rules distinguish a difference in the test by the fee structure. The fee for

examination for licensure as a professional engineer shall be $310.00. Never found the

roster ruling that may distinguish Civil/Structural but based on my reading I believe it

may be self proclaiming an engineer's area of expertise.

History: 16 Hour SE Exams prior to NCEES exams: IL, CA, WA, OR, HI, ID, and NV (for a short while) have had SE exams, starting with Title Restrictions and moving to Practice Restrictions or being originally a Practice Restriction. These exams have historically been accepted for comity /reciprocity for other 16 hour SE exams as long as the jurisdiction in which the exam was given verifies that it was a 16 hour, structural engineering specific exam. CA and IL had their own 16-hour exams, WA/OR/HI had a 16 hour joint exam. Many of these exams were in place in the 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s. The first SE I/II was given in 1985 and replaced the IL state exam. In the mid-80s, some of the western states' individual or joint exams merged their 16 hour SE exams into the Western States Exam. The Western States Exam was given under that name from 1986 through 1997. It was initially given in CA, HI, OR and WA, later NV and ID joined in its use. Therefore 16 hour SE exams have been documented by the western states, Illinois, and occasionally a short period by other states, since the 1960s. Some states had 8 or 16 hour SE exams prior to this time as well.
