Well for CPA at least, there's continuing education requirements you have to meet, which varies by state. I dunno how it works for a PE.

- auxym 9y agoEngineering licensing also varies a lot by jurisdiction (by state in the US). In my (canadian) province, the actual license test has no technical component, but there is a continuing education requirement, plus the deontology/ethics requirement I mentioned in the GP.
- u801e 9y agoMedicine, pharmacy, nursing, and optometry, at least, also require continuing education contact hours in order to maintain a professional license.
- vonmoltke 9y agoPEs have continuing education requirements as well. They are, largely, a joke compared to what software engineers are supposed to do to prepare for a single FAANG interview. For example, Texas (where I would have been licensed had I pursued it) requires 15 hours per year, of which at least one must be ethics[1]. I went to a one-day power supply seminar sponsored by TI (just because I wanted to) that would have covered half that requirement. Are two day-long seminars really enough to keep current in anything technical? [1] http://engineers.texas.gov/cep_info.htm http://engineers.texas.gov/cep_info.htm
