Masters Degree or Equivalent NCEES Model Law – Panel Discussion
Recent change in the NCEES Model Law require an MS degree or equivalent for licensure by 2020. NCEES encourages licensure boards to adopt the model law.
PRO (NCEES): Due to high fail rates in the FE exam and the implication that undergraduate degrees are not adequately preparing students for the professional world, the NCEES is proposing that additional 30 hours of course work be mandatory to graduate with an engineering degree and to take the professional engineers exams.
CON (ASHRAE): ASHRAE and partner organizations that comprise a coalition of engineering societies are in opposition to the model law, feel the law is inappropriate and damaging to the engineering profession and the clients and communities that we serve.
