Over the past year, around 2,200 engineering majors and Engineer Interns learned about professional engineering licensure in Florida from staff and members of the Florida Board of Professional Engineers.
FBPE Executive Director Zana Raybon answers questions during a presentation at Kimley-Horn’s Orlando office in July 2024.
FBPE’s outreach efforts kicked off in July 2024 with a presentation to three dozen young engineering professionals at the Orlando office of Kimley-Horn. The next day, Board member Dylan Albergo, PE, and Executive Director Zana Raybon talked to engineering students in the Florida Engineers in Education track at the annual Florida Engineering Society/American Council of Engineering Companies-Florida conference.
During the 2024-25 school year, FBPE staff made presentations in person or by video conference to more than 2,000 students in 12 engineering classes at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, FSU Panama City, the University of Central Florida, the University of North Florida, and the University of West Florida.
More than 2,000 students in 12 engineering classes at five Florida universities attended presentations by FBPE staff in the past year.
The presentations provide students with information about the Fundamentals of Engineering exam and the Principles & Practice of Engineering exam, the requirements for education and experience, and the steps needed to apply for a PE license in Florida. Students also had the opportunity to ask questions following the presentations.
In addition, FBPE contributed material for students competing in the annual Mathcounts state competition.
FBPE’s presentations are available to classes or groups at Florida colleges of engineering and engineering associations. To discuss scheduling an outreach presentation, please contact Bill Lampkin at wlampkin@fbpe.org.
