Under 18VAC10-20-160 Definitions:
"Related science program" means a four-year program in biology, chemistry, geology, geophysics, mathematics, physics, or other programs approved by the board. Programs must have a minimum of six semester hours of mathematics courses beyond algebra and trigonometry and a minimum of six semester hours of science courses in calculus-based physics in order to be considered a related science program.
I teach at a Virginia community college in the CET courses and they are not all calculus based so why would we require that of a “related science program”? This may preclude some highly qualified potential engineers already working in the field from achieving a PE license just based on the program they completed at the time many years prior.
