The Board of Professional Engineers hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance, filed on March 3, 2014, by Daniel Joita. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Vol. 40, No. 16, of the January 24, 2014, Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner sought a waiver or variance of subsection 61G15-20.007(1), F.A.C., with respect to the requirement that each applicant for a Florida engineers license must demonstrate the completion of 16 college semester credit hours in Humanities and Social Sciences.

The Board found that the applicant has otherwise shown that the application of the rule would violate principles of fairness as applied to him.
