I have had my VA PE since 1972, the same time I received my PhD. I am very proud to say I am a PE and encourage others to get their PE as well. I see no reason for me to pay out dollars for a short course in my area. I helped teach a short course for many years in my area of expertise. I go to and present research in my area of expertise at ASME, STLE, and other international conferences. I was in industry for 13 years and no one needs a PE for that type work. I have been teaching at VT since 1985. No one needs a PE for this. I have been consulting since 1985, no one asks me if I have a PE to do my work in my area of expertise. I have read over 300 other comments on this site that were 99.9% saying NO as well. Who is listening or reading this that will make the decision? Is "no one" the answer?
