I am kicking around the idea of taking the EIT exam here in NY State. My office mate has indicated an interest in studying along with me and taking the exam. The question is whether NY State will allow someone with a non ECPD accredited degree (he has a BS/MS in CS) to take the EIT. I have one older study guide (1984) that indicates individuals with degress in "closely related fields" are allowed to do the EIT, provided they have some experience of an engineering nature, but that this particular avenue was gradually being phased out. Does anyone happen to know the law for EIT/PE in NY? Yes, I already have the name of the person to call in Albany :-) Rick Spanbauer State U of NY/Stony Brook

Well, I finally remembered to bring in my info sheet from the EIT I took in NY in Fall 88. The requirements for EIT are: Education (one of the following): 1. Have graduated or be within 20 semester credits of graduation from an acceptable engineering baccalaureate program (accredited by ECPD) OR 2. Possess the combination of an unacceptable baccalaureate engineering degree or an approved baccalaureate degree in engineering technology, mathematics, or a basic science, _and_ a Master's degree in engineering from a department which offers at least one approved undergraduate engineering program. --Andy Stevens aes@zeppo.att.com
