Experience must be progressive on engineering projects to indicate that it is of increasing quality and requiring greater responsibility. Only work of an engineering nature which follows graduation is creditable. Experience gained in the military, to be creditable, must be of a character equivalent to that which would have been gained in the civilian sector doing similar work. Normally, it would be expected that the applicant while in the military served in an engineering or engineeringrelated group. Experience should be gained under the supervision of a licensed professional engineer or, if not, an explanation should be made showing why the experience should be considered acceptable. Experience gained under the technical supervision of an unlicensed individual may be considered if the appropriate credentials of the unlicensed supervisor are submitted to the board. For sales experience to be creditable, it must be demonstrated that engineering principles were required and used in gaining the experience. Teaching experience, to be creditable, must be in engineering or engineering-related courses at an advanced level in a college or university offering an engineering program of four years. Experience gained in engineering research and design projects by members of an engineering faculty is creditable. Successful completion of graduate study leading to the masters degree in engineering which has followed a baccalaureate degree in engineering may be used for credit for one years experience. If the PhD program in engineering is completed under the same conditions, two years total experience may be credited. The two years credit includes the one year for the masters degree. If the PhD is obtained without the masters degree, the credit for experience may be two years. Experience may not be anticipated. The experience must have been gained by the time of the application.
