Sec. 5.
(a) This section addresses the deadline for an applicant's initial taking of the professional engineer examination after being admitted by the board. All applicants will be required to take and pass Part II, the principles and practice of engineering examination, and Part III of the examination. Only those applicants who are not certified as an engineering intern or otherwise have not previously passed the fundamentals of engineering examination will be required to take and pass the fundamentals of engineering examination.(b) If admission to the professional engineer examination is granted, those parts of the examination that the applicant will be required to take and pass will be stated on a notice sent to the applicant.(c) An applicant, who has received the notice described in subsection (b) and that notice provides for taking the fundamentals of engineering examination, must take the fundamentals of engineering examination by the end of the testing window that is in effect one (1) year after the issuance of the notice.(d) This subsection and subsection (e) apply to applicants who have received the notice described in subsection (b) and that notice does not provide for taking of the fundamentals of engineering examination. If the applicant is taking the principles and practice examination in a discipline for which computer based testing is offered, the applicant must take the principles and practice examination, and Part III of the examination, by the end of the testing window that is in effect one (1) year after the issuance of the notice.(e) If the applicant is taking the principles and practice of engineer examination in a discipline for which computer based testing is not offered, the applicant must take the principles and practice of engineering examination, and Part III of the examination, no later than the third time it is offered after issuance of the notice.(f) If the applicant fails to sit for an examination by a deadline provided in subsection (c), (d), or (e), the application for registration as a professional engineer shall be deemed terminated and, if the applicant thereafter desires to seek registration as a professional engineer, a new application must be filed with, and approved by, the board.(g) This subsection applies only to individuals who apply for registration as a professional engineer without first having been certified as an engineering intern or otherwise having passed the fundamentals of engineering examination. An individual who passes the fundamentals of engineering examination as a professional engineer applicant must take the principles and practice examination and Part III of the examination no later than the third time it is offered after the applicant passes the fundamentals of engineering examination. However, if the applicant is taking the principles and practice of engineering examination in a discipline for which computer based testing is offered, the deadline shall be the end of the testing window that is in effect one (1) year after the applicant passes the fundamentals of engineering examination. If the applicant fails to meet the deadline under this subsection, the applicant's application shall be deemed terminated and, therefore, the applicant shall be required to reapply as a professional engineer applicant and meet the requirements for examination admission before taking the principles and practice examination and Part III of the examination.State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers; 864 IAC 1.1-4.1-5; filed Jun 21, 1988, 4:00 p.m.: 11 IR 3906; filed Jul 24, 1989, 5:00 p.m.: 12 IR 2284; filed Nov 15, 1990, 1:35 p.m.: 14 IR 757; filed Mar 28, 1995, 2:00 p.m.: 18 IR 2107; filed Apr 23, 1999, 2:03 p.m.: 22 IR 2879, eff Jul 2, 1999; readopted filed Jun 21, 2001, 9:01 a.m.: 24 IR 3824; readopted filed Jul 19, 2007, 12:56 p.m.: 20070808-IR-864070063RFA; readopted filed Jul 29, 2013, 1:25 p.m.: 20130828-IR-864130228RFA; filed Nov 15, 2013, 2:51 p.m.: 20131211-IR-864130333FRA, eff Jan 1, 2014Readopted filed 11/22/2016, 12:27 p.m.: 20161221-IR-864160321RFAReadopted filed 7/20/2022, 8:12 a.m.: 20220817-IR-864220189RFAReadopted filed 5/30/2024, 9:44 a.m.: 20240626-IR-864230822RFAThis version of section effective January 1, 2014.
