AI Summary

  • Removes restrictions on when candidates may take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination, allowing it to be taken at any time prior to licensure rather than only after graduation or during senior year of college.

  • Requires applicants pursuing licensure through the experience pathway (without a degree) to pass the FE examination before taking the Principles and Practice of Engineering examination.

  • Clarifies the definition of "successor professional engineer" by referencing the qualifications detailed in § 2817 rather than the previous general language about education or experience.

  • Aligns Delaware with approximately 75% of other state licensing boards that do not restrict when candidates can take the FE examination.
