While I was in college, I was involved with the UNR ASCE/AGC student chapter. At every national or regional ASCE event I attended, there was always a lot of discussion on ASCE Policy Statement 465, Academic Prerequisites for Licensure and Professional Practice. In this post, I will explain what PS465 means, give some history, and give my opinion on how ASCE has changed their position on the issue of education and compensation.
I am attending the 2008 SEAOC (Structural Engineers Association of California) Convention. It is being held September 23 – 27 on the Big Island, Hawaii. I have been to the last 4 out of 5 SEAOC Conventions and certainly would not miss one being held in Hawaii! Every year I attend I have come back to BJG energized about my profession.
