18 VAC 10-20-210. Requirements for the Principles of Engineering (PE) examination
 

I respectfully suggest that the current regulations should be amended to allow 20 years of qualifying engineering experience to be an acceptable means of satisfying the requirements of 18 VAC 10-20-210 without having any college level education. If a person has this amount of qualifying experience, it should demonstrate a level of competence, determination, and an ability to learn and apply oneself to the profession. More importantly, the EIT and PE exams serve as excellent, rigorous and thorough filters to determine a person's depth and breadth of engineering knowledge.
