Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists

NEW AND IMPORTANT UPDATES

ADDED APRIL 25, 2025 - The latest spring edition of the Board Bulletin is now available.
ADDED JANUARY 31, 2025 - NCEES is seeking licensed control systems engineers to participate in a professional activities and knowledge study, or PAKS, for the PE Control Systems exam. The results of this online survey will be used to update the content of the PE exam, a process that occurs every six to eight years. NCEES requires a cross section of licensed professional engineers practicing control systems engineering—including those working in industry, consulting, the public sector, and academia—to complete the survey. If you are a licensed professional engineer, we would appreciate your input. The survey can be completed in about 30–40 minutes. Click here for access to the online survey: http://www.ncees.org/CSPAKS The survey will be open until May 22, 2025.
ADDED DECEMBER 24, 2024 - Please allow 4-6 months in Technical Review for Civil Professional Engineer (PE) applications. This time frame applies to all Civil PE applicants, including Comity and Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam Waiver applicants. The Board is actively working on resolving the backlog. We appreciate your patience in this matter.
ANNOUNCED JULY 1, 2024 - Expedited Licensure Application Processing for Service Members Enrolled in SkillBridge
Beginning July 1, 2024, boards and bureaus under the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) must expedite licensure application processing for service members currently enrolled in the U.S. Department of Defense SkillBridge Program.
Service members seeking licensure in California who qualify must provide documentation of enrollment, such as an official letter from the commanding officer. Failure to provide proper documentation could result in application processing delays. Applicants must still meet all board or bureau licensing requirements.
