Executive Director Victoria Hsu said a subcommittee of the nine-member board is scheduled to discuss the report and make recommendations to the full panel before its June 14 regular meeting. The 59-foot Aggie Bonfire stack collapsed on Nov. 18, killing 12 people and injuring 27. The accident was caused by poor construction and design practices made possible by a chronic lack of oversight from the university, a special commission reported this week. Hsu said it was unclear whether the engineering board has jurisdiction over the bonfire project.
Professional engineers have no formal role in the effort.
Any action would likely not affect the school. State lawmakers created the board in 1937 to license engineers, enforce the Texas Engineering Practice Act and regulate engineering practices throughout the state. Texas has about 48,000 licensed engineers. Or have it be supervised by a professional engineer. The board can impose fines and strip engineers of their licenses when it finds violations, Hsu said.
