FBPE Applications
APPLICATION FOR LICENSURE BY EXAM – $230 FEE
The PE applicant must demonstrate four years of verified engineering experience per Rule 61G15-20.002, F.A.C., and a passing grade on the fundamentals exam to be eligible to apply for the PE exam. Since engineering experience obtained prior to the completion of the engineering degree is usually of a sub-professional nature, applicants may be granted only 50 percent of actual experience earned, if the full-time experience is obtained within two years of completing the engineering degree, and involves tasks and responsibilities consistent with the disciplines of engineering. The total engineering experience credit allowable for pre-graduation experience shall not exceed 12 months. A full 48 months of experience must be obtained at the time of application, not when the application is reviewed by the Board. Advanced degrees obtained as a full time student may count for 12 months equivalent experience. This is further explained in Rule 61G15-20.002(1)(b)2, F.A.C. Foreign experience can be counted and verified in the same manner as provided in the application for experience.
