Section 66-10-9 - Engineering experience

(a) The work experience required of each applicant shall expose the applicant to all phases of work integral to the discipline of engineering in which the applicant claims qualification to practice and shall be verified as specified in paragraph (b)(2).

(b) Engineering work experience shall meet the following requirements:

(1) Fall within the definition of the "practice of engineering" pursuant to K.S.A. 74-7003, and amendments thereto;

(2) be directly supervised by a licensed professional engineer. However, direct supervision by a licensed professional engineer shall not be required of the employees of any person, firm, or corporation not offering services in the technical professions to the public, although verification by the applicant's supervisor shall still be required; and

(3) include at least two years of work experience, which shall have been gained in the United States.

(c) The following requirements and provisions shall be used to assign credit for work experience:

(1) The applicant shall demonstrate four years of acceptable work experience.

(2) One year of credit toward the experience requirement may be given for a master's or doctoral degree in engineering, unless that degree is used to satisfy the educational requirement described in K.A.R. 66-9-4(b). Credit shall not be allowed for both work experience and master's or doctoral degree credit obtained during the same time period.

(3) Each month of teaching in an accredited engineering curriculum shall qualify for one month of engineering experience. Teaching experience or other allowed experience, but not both, may be approved as experience for any concurrent calendar period.

(4) Work experience credit shall not be allowed for work performed before graduation with the baccalaureate degree.

(d) Each applicant shall supply at least three references from professional engineers who are licensed in the United States and are familiar with the applicant's engineering experience.
