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!

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

[TTaylor]

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.)
