RULE CHANGE EFFECTIVE MAY 11 - DECLARING DISCIPLINES OF COMPETENCY:

Beginning May 11, 2009, Board Rule OAC 245:15-9-4(a) was amended to require that professional engineers in the state of Oklahoma declare their discipline(s) of competency. Please read the following information carefully, complete the form, and return it to this office. You may fax, e-mail, or mail this form to the Board office. You may also go online at www.pels.ok.gov, log in to your account with your pin and password through the online renewal system, and provide this information online. This information is public record and also will appear on the Board’s website on the online database. If you prefer, you may wait and supply this information at the time of your next license renewal. The following criteria must be met to designate a primary or secondary discipline of engineering: a. A degree in the discipline of engineering, or b. An experience record documenting at least 4 years of experience in the discipline of engineering verified by at least one PE reference provider that has personal knowledge of the license holder’s character, reputation, suitability for licensure, and engineering experience, or c. Verification of successful passage of the examination on the principles and practice of engineering exam in the discipline of engineering designated. Please select in the space below your primary discipline of engineering and up to 4 secondary disciplines of engineering, if applicable, for which you will be offering your services in Oklahoma. Selecting a discipline of engineering does not indicate competency to practice all aspects of that discipline of engineering. The licensee is required to only practice within the discipline of engineering in areas in which he/ she is competent. For example, listing “Civil” as your primary discipline does not mean that you are competent to do all types of civil engineering projects. The civil engineer’s specialty may be in wastewater, but not transportation. In this case, the engineer would simply list “Civil”.

Please choose your discipline(s) from the list below. 1. Architectural 9. Control Systems 17. Manufacturing 25. Structural (without 2. Aeronautical 10. Electrical 18. Mechanical SE) 3.

THE BOARD’S BULLETIN

PLS EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS

any of you have bright young people working for Myou in the field or in your office who may plan to Critical Facts About Licensure become licensed PLS’ one day. To provide them the as a PLS Under LEP most current information and guidance to pursue this goal, this article and the flowchart on the adjacent page *April 2014 - last date to sit for PS are for you to pass along to them and encourage them to and/or OLS if admitted under LEP (See Path #5 on adjacent page). get started now on a path to licensure. The 5 PATHS TO LICENSURE AS A PLS is ** If the applicant has not met all of the a flowchart describing the different ways that an requirements for licensure by July 2014, applicant may become licensed as a PLS. The Board he/she will have to reapply with proof of has created several pathways to licensure for land sufficient education to qualify. (See Paths surveyors because land surveying is a career that is #1-#4 on adjacent page) approached from a variety of people in different stages of life. Many people start their land surveying careers *** If you plan to qualify for PLS Licensure later in life and come from varied experience and under LEP apply as soon as you qualify educational backgrounds. Traditionally most land and begin the exam process! surveyors in Oklahoma have qualified for licensure by obtaining the statutory number of years of experience otherwise known as Long Established Practice (LEP). After July 1, 2014, that option will no longer be available and that is why the timing of providing the information contained in this article is so important. FACTS REGARDING LEP

For those who are planning to qualify by LEP, the critical date is April 2014. This is the last date that an applicant who qualified under LEP may sit for the PS and/or OLS examinations. Under this scenario, the last opportunity for a new PLS application to be submitted to the Board is in the summer of 2013 (see Board website for most current cutoff dates). The application would then have to be approved by the Board and the applicant would take and pass the Fundamentals of Surveying Examination in October 2013. The applicant would then have to take and pass both the PS and OLS exams in April of 2014. This scenario leaves no margin for error. Even if the applicant has been approved to take the exams, if the applicant has not passed all of the exams by July 2014, he or she will have to re-apply with proof of sufficient education to qualify. Experience has shown us that many of our applicants take the examinations multiple times before they are all successfully completed. The Board allows the applicant to take each examination 4 times before filing a new application. With that in mind, this scenario would look something like this: An individual takes the FS exam 4 times and passes on the 4th try. Then the applicant takes the PS/OLS exams 4 times and passes on the 4th try. To meet the April 2014 deadline, the applicant would have had to have filed their initial application by the summer of 2010. Most of us don’t plan for the worst case scenario, but sometimes events beyond our control affect our examination schedule. Applicants often have real life human experiences like family emergencies, car problems, miscommunications, illnesses, or a crisis at work that cause them to miss an examination. Therefore the key to success in pursuing Professional Land Surveyor Licensure under LEP is to apply as soon as you qualify! If you have acquired the 9 years of acceptable surveying experience, do not procrastinate and get the application process started now. The deadline for filing an application for the April 2010 FS exam based on LEP is December 1 of this year. (Check the Board website to ensure no cutoff date changes go into effect.)

THE PATH TO COMPLIANCE Continuing Education Update

he Board and its licensees have successfully completed Sample Info Box Tseveral renewal cycles since mandatory continuing education requirements for engineers and land surveyors have been in place. Annual audits by Board appointed Continuing Education Committees have revealed that generally the goal of licensees maintaining an acceptable level of competency in the advancing professions of engineering and land surveying is succeeding. However, the audits have disclosed a few problem areas that need to be addressed. One of the ongoing concerns and one of the most frequently asked questions this office receives is about what is or is not acceptable course content. Board rules state the coursework must be relevant to the practice of engineering or land surveying and must contain technical, ethical or managerial content. Furthermore, concerning the quality of the coursework, Bruce Pitts, PLS Board Rule 245: 15-11-6 (a)(1) states that “There is a clear Director of Enforcement purpose and objective for each activity, which will maintain, improve or expand skills and knowledge obtained prior to initial licensure or to develop new and relevant skills and knowledge.” Whether a course or seminar meets that criteria was intentionally left to the integrity and professionalism of the individual licensee. Therefore, licensees should not consider enrolling in correspondence, internet or any other classes that offer entry level material in a field in which they are already proficient. or classes that cover obsolete technologies. Another concern is the amount of PDH credit offered for particular coursework by some of the correspondence and internet providers. The Board has not pre-approved any providers, courses or the number of hours of credit for any course. PDH credit will be accepted only for the actual time for each program or the actual time it takes to complete a course. For example, if an on-line provider indicates that a licensee can earn 8 PDH’s for a course, and it takes the licensee 1 hour to complete the course material, the Board expects the licensees to report 1 PDH for that course. According to Board Rule 245: 15-11-6 (b) “The Board has final authority with respect to acceptability of course, credit, PDH value for course and other methods of earning credit.” Another area of concern is incomplete Summary Logs of Professional Development Hours. Often licensees only list the provider of the courses on these log forms and not the titles of each specific course. That can become a problem if the provider offers course non related programs. For example, many of the state’s technical societies offer luncheon meetings with programs that can be considered for continuing education credit. If the programs contain technical, managerial or ethical content, and meet the rest of the criteria set forth in the rules, they probably will qualify for PDH credit. However, if the technical society invites a panel to discuss OU football, that is not going to earn the recipients PDH credit. That is why it is important to list the title of the courses. Even though this Board has disciplined licensees for violating continuing education rules, the vast majority of licensees are complying with the Board rules and the vast majority of continuing education providers are honest and are supplying engineers and land surveyors with worthwhile course material that does assist the licensee maintain competency. This Board will continue to monitor continuing education classes and offer assistance to its licensees in this area as appropriate.

ttle, II ba III PLS EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS (CONT) chuk er Benefits of Taking the Core Curriculum Now: e Regardless of whether or not an applicant will qualify for the exams by LEP, encourage the people who work for you to start taking college courses now! For the most part, the surveying exams are based on knowledge obtained in the college classroom, and those with college twood experience perform much better on the exams. Taking some or all of the Core Curriculum will improve an applicant’s chances of success on the ey examinations and improve surveying knowledge in their practice. For all rson those reasons, it just makes sense to start getting education now. Woldemariam Furthermore, even if the applicant does not complete all of the required n examinations prior to April 2014, he or she will be well on their way t down another pathway to licensure.
