1. PE:Licensing
? Part 1:Summary
The PE exam is a standard required for engineers in california
and many states. The test is made to test engineers for
knowledge, laws and just basic skills they need to meet the
standards for engineers to avoid complications in the future.
? Part2:Interest in PE exam
I am really interested in taking the PE exam. I am planning to
work in the state of california. The PE test sounds like a good
idea to get right after graduating with my bachelors my
concentration is in power so there are alot of classes that is
going to help prepare me for the test and there are many outside
sources that can prepare me for the test.
? Part3:Questions
If i get a PE test for california can i work in other states that
require PE license even if it ask for other requirements for the
test?
? Part4: My plan to prepare for the test
For the first criteria (General power engineering) one of the
classes I can take that will help me is (EE452: Power system
analysis).
For the second criteria (circuits) there are many classes I can
take in csulb in my road map that meets that criteria but the
base of it is (EE:211:Electric and Electronic circuits).

2. For the third criteria (Rotating machines and electric power
devices). Not really sure how to meet the criteria but I believe
(EE451:Electric vehicles) will help a lot.
Last criteria (Transmission and distribution) there is a lot of
classes offered that will help and programs that can prepare me
but (EE452:Power system analysis) also help in this criteria.
Module 5 - SLP
Human Resources and Collective Bargaining
The goal of the Session Long Project (SLP) was to develop a
policy brief. You conducted your own research to develop a
policy brief that impacts the field of education and composed a
specific section of the policy brief for each SLP assignment.
This assignment required a significant amount of time dedicated
to locating references and research related to the topic of the
policy brief. The components are outlined below:
SLP 1: Title and Executive Summary
SLP 2: Context of Scope of Problem
SLP 3: Policy Alternatives
SLP 4: Policy Recommendations
SLP 5: Reflection
Incorporate any feedback from your instructor from SLP 4. Use
the questions below to write a 2-page reflective essay:
1. What did you learn from this exercise?
2. How will this exercise inform your professional practice?
3. How did the exploration of the research on the topic shape
the policy brief?
4. How do you view your ability as a leader to interpret law and
policy?
a. Do you have more to learn? Explain.
b. Will your understanding shape your day-to-day practice?
5. How does policy impact equity and access to education?
Upload the final policy brief and reflective essay as a single

Perspectives/Concepts: Student discusses in detail/analyzes both
core beliefs and the origins of the core beliefs and discussion
has greater depth and clarity.
Different Perspectives: Understanding Different Ethical
Perspectives/Concepts: Student can state the many possibilities
in difference of beliefs and work to include all understandings.
Ethical Issue Recognition: Student can recognize ethical issues
when presented in a complex, multilayered (gray) context AND
can recognize cross-relationships among the issues.
Application of Ethical Perspectives/Concepts: Student can
independently apply ethical perspectives/concepts to an ethical
question, accurately, and is able to consider full implications of
the application.
Evaluation of Different Ethical Perspectives/Concepts: Student
states a position and can state the objections to, assumptions
and implications of and can reasonably defend against the
objections to, assumptions and implications of different ethical
perspectives/concepts, and the student's defense is adequate and
effective.
Professionalism/Timeliness: Demonstrates excellence in taking
responsibility for learning, adhering to course requirement
policies and expectations. Assignment submitted on time or

12. Why are Engineers Licensed ?
• To safeguard life, health, property, and public welfare of
the people of California, by …
o Ensure minimum standards are met by engineers
§ Knowledge (education and testing)
§ Experience (work experience verified by PE exam)
§ Integrity (PE law exam)
o Provides safe practice cost effectively
o Note:
§ PE is not a Guild
§ Provides minimum standards
7
Why Would You Want to be Licensed?
• It is good for you
o Right to practice
o Right to contract to provide
services
o Labels you as a professional
• It is good for the profession
o Raise the status of engineering
o Ensure minimum standards
• Provides standing in a court
of law
o Expert Witness
o Ethical harassment (Challenger

13. incident)
o Collection of fees for
engineering services

Key Features of Current Law
• Regulates practice
o All civil
o Electrical and mechanical
engineering services
• Others: regulates titles only
o e.g. control systems,
manufacturing, nuclear
o Practice unregulated outside civil,
electrical, and mechanical
• Purchase and use of stamp
required
o Indicates that plans, specifications,
etc. are complete

14. o Means you are in responsible
charge and approve
• Practice only in area of
competence
Note: You cannot legally advertise electrical engineering
services to or perform
electrical engineering work for the public without being a
licensed electrical engineer.
9
Should You Be Licensed ?
• Engineers in Responsible Charge
o All civil practice
o Electrical and mechanical engineering services
o Engineers in state and local government
• Those who profess to be civil, electrical or mechanical
engineers
• Anyone wishing to use a reserved title
• Exemptions from law include
o Communications Industry
o Licensed contractors
o Industry Exemption (including consulting to industry)

Survey Question: Before Tonight, My Understanding of
Professional Engineering Registration Was …
A. Never heard of it
B. Heard of It, But no interest
C. Didn’t Think About It
D. Didn’t think it Applies
E. Aware and Want to get Licensed
11
What does Responsible Charge Mean?
• Span of control
o Make engineering decisions
o Review and approve decisions
o Presence (physical or via
communication devices)
o Judge specialists and their
recommendations
• Engineering Decisions —
selection or development of:
o Engineering alternatives
o Standards, methods, and
materials to be used
o Testing methods or techniques
o Manufacturing or construction

16. methods
o Operating and maintenance
procedures
12

What Constitutes the Practice of EE?
• Profess to be an EE
• In responsible charge of EE work
• Current definition of EE work:
o Studies or activities relating to generation, transmission, and
utilization
of electrical energy
o Design of electrical, electronic, and magnetic circuits
o Technical control of circuit operation
o Design of electrical gear
o Concerned with research, organizational, and economic
aspects

Problems with California PE Law
• Board performs functions that do not affect safety:
o Adjudicate conflict between practice and title acts
o Comity made difficult by incompatibility with other states.
• Law restrains interdisciplinary practice
o e.g. electromechanical
o Ignores overlap of disciplines
o Ignores emerging fields: software, biomedical, etc.
• Title act engineers restricted from practice included in the
definition of
electrical, civil, or mechanical engineering
• Title act practice not regulated providing no public safeguards
• California does not use all NCEES branches 15

• PE Exam for EE
o No choice of problems to work
o All multiple choice type problems
o 3 Exams to Pick from:
§ Computer Engineering
§ Electronics, Controls, and Communications
§ Power

17
Should You Get Licensed ?
• Get licensed if:
o Practicing EE to the Public
o Infrastructure (All Power Engineers)
o Want to advertise as an engineer
o Want to use a title (e.g. consulting engineer)
• Don’t forget to file an organization record
o Engineering service firms
