There's no question that Iowa's laws are difficult for those people that want to get licensed but are not working under the direct supervision of a PE. However, they are not insurmountable. The board has established a mentoring "system" wherby soemone who does not work directly with a PE
can mentor with a PE outside of his or her job place. I would suggest you contact the Board directly to better understand how you can set up such a mentoriing program. If you were to utilize such a mentoring system I am sure the PE references would be easy to find at that time.I also note that you have had three years experience. The state law does not allow for anything less than four years (execpt for Ph.Ds.
: Hi, all. Got a question, and the websites are a jumble of info. It looks like, if I'm reading it right, that before I can take the test, I need to have 5 refernces (3 of which are PE's) and 4 years experience working for a PE. Now, since college, I got a Masters degree and worked for 3 years, but by boss isn't a PE. I only know two PE's professionally. I'd like to work to get my license, but from what I've read, I'm screwed since my co-workers and boss isn't licensed. Is this right? Am I missing something? I'd appreciate some guidance here. Thanks.
