The official title and address of all State and Terri­ torial Boards of Registration and other information pertinent to the profession of engineering are included. The Board appreciates the whole-hearted support of those members of the profession who have assisted in administering the law. It is believed that the continued enforcement of the statute will result in greater proficiency and higher standards in the engineering profession. FRANK J. MEYER, Chairman. Oklahoma City, December 5, 1952 [4] GENERAL INFORMATION The Oklahoma State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers has completed the seventeenth year of Administration of the Engineers' Registration Law. Five meetings of the Board were required to transact this year's business, although the law requires but two meetings a year. The Board issued 116 professional licenses from 150 applies tions and reinstated five Professional Engineers whose license had been revoked for non-payment of renewal fee. Fifteen regis­ trants were lost by death and twenty-eight licenses were re­ voked for non-payment of renewal fee, leaving a total of 1936 active registered Professional Engineers, as of November 30, 1952. The Engineers-in-Training program is now in its third year since acquiring legal status. Three written examinations were held during the past year. Twenty applicants were certified, four certificates revoked for non-payment of renewal fee, one certif­ icate was reinstated and two Engineers in Training were reg­ istered as Professional Engineers, making a total of ninety- eight Engineers-in-Training. RECIPROCAL RELATIONS BETWEEN STATES Oklahoma has a reciprocal agreement with the following states: Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. The address of all State Boards will be found on page 8 of this Report. WRITTEN EXAMINATIONS FOR ENGINEERS-IN-TRAINING In answer to a questionnaire sent to State Boards by the National Council Committee on Engineers-in-Training, 21 Boards replied. These 21 Boards have granted a total of 31,830 certifi­ cates. A written examination of graduates of approved engineer­ ing curricula is required for certification as an Engineer-in- Training in 17 of the 21 states. The time allotted to this examina­ tion is 8 hours in all but 4 states. One state requires 16 hours, one requires 9 hours, and two require 6 hours. Oklahoma requires an 8 hour examination.

These Member Boards have a total of 300 official members. The Congress of the United States of America and the State Legislatures of seventy per cent of the States have legally recognized NCSBEE as a national agency by naming it, or one of its functions, National Bureau of Engineering Registration, in Legislative Acts. Engineers who wish to secure legal registration or license in any particular state must communicate directly with the state board or department in that state and request its applica­ tion form and regulations. Registration or license in one state, or certification by the National Bureau of Engineering Registration, does not permit or authorize the practice of engineering in other states. How­ ever, most states grant registration to registrants of other states, or temporary permits to practice, provided they first comply with the regulations of those states and have the re­ quired qualifications. The registration laws of all states are not uniform due to local conditions, date of adoption, etc.; however, most laws re­ quire either graduation in an accredited engineering curriculum, or a written engineering examination, or adequate and satisfac­ tory engineering experience, or a combination of these. Registered engineers who require registration or license in several states will find that their application for registration is greatly expedited and, in most cases, promptly approved when they have been certified by the National Bureau of Engineering Registration and endorsed by their State Board of Registration. This service to professional engineers is one of the functions of NCSBEE and the "Information Pamphlet" of the Registration Bureau containing the procedure, requirements and fees can be secured from the Executive Secretary.
