In Texas, if you are an Engineering Educator, the Board will allow you to become registered by an alternate process. You can request a waiver for both the F.E. and P.E. exams.
The Texas Board of Professional Engineers has revised the rules for licensure for Engineering Educators via a waiver of both the FE and the PE examinations. For waiver of the FE examination only, an engineering educator must meet the requirements of §133.25. These rules are effective January 1, 2006. The following is a summary of the minimum requirements set forth in the Board Rules. Please refer to Board Rules §133.25 and §133.69 for the most up to date information.
