A lawsuit will follow if every engineer doing anything remotely engineering related *in a big company* **isn't** required to take the same exam.<br /><br />The logic doesn't suddenly "not apply" to an engineer at Boeing designing flight control systems.<br /><br />Also, did you hear about those turds at ARM who are tying to promote an "ARM certified engineer" program, kind of like Microsoft's MSCE?<br /><br />This job is becoming a lot less fun.Mark P.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990432187813360269.post-48029629418426507122012-07-29T10:25:28.078-04:002012-07-29T10:25:28.078-04:00First a disclaimer: you need to consult an attorne...First a disclaimer: you need to consult an attorney who practices in the area of professional licensure for a definitive opinion. But my understanding is that you need to be licensed in the state where you will try to sell or deploy your wares, or where you advertise your services as an engineer. However, if you are licensed in one state, there are mechanisms by which you can temporarily be licensed in another state or recognized through comity. You would want to consult this site for more information. http://www.nspe.org/Licensure/Resources/LicComity/index.html. But one thing I know for certain -- you will not have to take the Principles and Practices of Software Engineering exam twice if you have passed it.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16218049651921183107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990432187813360269.post-40410790751500854122012-07-29T09:28:17.468-04:002012-07-29T09:28:17.468-04:00What state do you take the test in for your
