Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 30 - Professions and Occupations › Part 901 - Rules and Regulations of the Mississippi Board of Licensure for Professional Engineers and Surveyors › Chapter 9 - Experience › Rule 30-901-9.1 - Evaluation of Experience

Current through June 25, 2024
General, All Licensure Applicants -
The
				  Board will take the following criteria into consideration when evaluating
				  experience:
1. Concurrent Time -
				Concurrent time, that is, time spent in engineering or surveying work while
				attending school, will be credited either as education experience or work
				experience, but not as both; provided, however, engineering students who
				complete a formal cooperative engineering education (ABET accredited) program
				of fifty-two (52) weeks or more will be granted six (6) months of experience
				credit. Engineering students who complete a formal cooperative engineering
				(ABET accredited) education program of at least twenty-six (26) weeks, but less
				than fifty-two (52) weeks, will be granted three (3) months of experience
				credit. No experience credit of less than three (3) months will be granted.
2. Military Experience - Military
				experience, to be creditable, must have been spent in engineering or surveying
				and of a character equivalent to that required in the civilian sector in like
				work.
3. Actual Work Experience for
				Initial (first time) Licensure Applicants
a.
				Qualifying professional engineering experience must be obtained under the
				supervision of a licensed professional engineer.
b. Qualifying professional surveying
				experience must be obtained under the supervision of a licensed professional
				surveyor.
c. With reference to
				Mississippi statutes 73-13-23 and 73-13-77 and Rule
				11.18, applicants seeking dual
				licensure (both Professional Engineer and Professional Surveyor) must meet the
				experience requirements for each license.
d. If the experience was not obtained under
				the direct supervision of a licensed professional engineer or professional
				surveyor, then the indirect supervision must be satisfactorily explained with
				respect to the degree and type of supervision received.
Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 30 - Professions and Occupations › Part 901 - Rules and Regulations of the Mississippi Board of Licensure for Professional Engineers and Surveyors › Chapter 9 - Experience › Rule 30-901-9.1-5 - Actual Work Experience for Comity Licensure Applicants

Current through June 25, 2024
a. Professional Engineer applicants for
				comity licensure who have been licensed and practicing for ten years or more
				should submit experience verification forms from prior supervisors. If these
				cannot be obtained, the applicant should provide a written explanation or
				justification for why experience verification forms from prior supervisors
				cannot be obtained. In such circumstances, the Board will consider experience
				verification forms or character reference forms from Professional Engineers who
				are familiar with the applicant's work.
b. Professional Engineer applicants for
				comity licensure who have been licensed and practicing for less than ten years
				must submit experience verification forms from Professional Engineer
				supervisors who had review and approval authority over the applicant's
				work.
c. Professional Surveyor
				applicants for comity licensure who have been licensed and practicing for ten
				years or more should submit experience verification forms from prior
				supervisor. If these cannot be obtained, the applicant should provide a written
				explanation or justification for why experience verification forms from prior
				supervisors cannot be obtained. In such circumstances, the Board will consider
				experience verification forms or character reference from Professional
				Engineers who are familiar with the applicant's work.
d. Professional Surveyor applicants for
				comity licensure who have been licensed and practicing for less than ten years
				must submit experience verification forms from Professional Surveyor
				supervisors who had review and approval authority over the applicant's
				work.
e. If the comity licensure
				applicant's experience cannot be verified and documented in accordance with the
				four procedures listed above, the Board may deny licensure, or, in the
				alternative, may require substantial additional documentation to verify the
				applicant's qualifying experience to the Board's satisfaction.

Current through June 25, 2024
An applicant may acquire qualifying engineering experience
				  through a mentoring arrangement. Two (2) years of qualifying mentoring
				  experience acquired through a Board-approved mentoring arrangement equates to
				  one (1) year of qualifying engineering experience.

				  Board. The applicant must submit a written proposal for a mentoring arrangement
				  to the Board describing: the applicant's current employment status, description
				  of job responsibilities, qualifications of the non-licensee supervising the
				  applicant on a daily basis, biographical data of the mentoring PE, written
				  certification from the mentoring PE agreeing to serve, proposed format of
				  meetings. Meetings between the applicant and the mentoring PE must occur at
				  least monthly.
Once the mentoring arrangement has been approved by the
				  Board, it may begin. The applicant shall prepare a report of each meeting, a
				  statement indicating whether or not it was responsible charge work and if the
				  work was performed according to industry standards, and the mentoring PE's seal
				  and signature. A copy of this monthly report shall be sent to the Board.
At the conclusion of the mentoring relationship, the
				  mentoring PE shall provide a statement bearing his seal and signature
				  recommending the applicant for licensure.
When the applicant submits his PE application, he shall
				  submit in a separate binder a compilation of all the monthly reports, any
				  notes, drawings, and miscellaneous items, and the original final statement of
				  recommendation from the mentoring PE.
