Peter, you brought back memories. I also took the exam on Halloween day 1981. Long drive home and then way too many trick or treaters at the door! Yes, it was one VERY LONG DAY!

"..........I think he is the one that swiped my coffee......."

As I remember that day, I thought for sure that no one noticed me taking that coffee. Oh well.

Sitting at my kitchen table, early March 1990. Issued March 7, 1990. I didn't actually receive the certificate until the following March.

I got one of the mail it in exams. I understand that 1991 was the last year that exam was used.

Stephen, they still use the take home as a portion of the state specific, which does hang up some when they forget to turn it in.

My Oregon wall certificate says that I'm licensed as a Professional Engineer. I think it's kinda cool.

p.s: I offer really cheap design services in Oregon if anybody needs it! :D

FYI, my EIT from 2001 says , "Chapter 7....". I never found a reason to get the PE as the LS was what was important to me. Maybe I should apply now and set for that exam?

Since there is no authority to issue a license for land surveying under Chapter 7, all those licenses claiming to have been issued pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 7 are invalid.

You all have been practicing without a valid licence all these years!

Since the Board is always concerned about funding, you can expect a citation with the requested "corrected" certificate.

Let's see... invalid license issued in 1990; just to choose a reasonable number, figure an average of 50 surveys, reports, etc. issued under assumed authority of invalid license; nominal fine of $500 per occurrence of unlicensed practice...

2013 - 1990 = 23 years

23 x 50 = 1150 occurrences

1150 x $500 = $575,000

$575,000 x # of invalid licenses = Kaching! Non-General Fund dunding for the next 5 to 10 years!


Just a random thought...

I wish they'd quit monkeying with the name.

(I don't know if the first one was ever official, but like Dave, it's what my license says.)
