61G15-20.007: Educational Requirements for Applicants Without EAC/ABET Accredited Engineering Degrees

The Board of Professional Engineers hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance or Waiver for Alan Pang, filed on October 21, 2011. The Notice of Petition for Variance or Waiver was published in Vol. 37, No. 47, of the November 23, 2011, Florida Administrative Weekly. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting by telephone conference held on December 7, 2011. The Petitioner was seeking a Variance or Waiver from 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 a substantial equivalency for the general education course requirements.

The Board’s Order, filed on December 27, 2011, denies the Petition for Variance or Waiver. The Board found that the Petitioner did not demonstrate a substantial hardship and has not demonstrated that principles of fairness have been violated as required by Section 120.542, Florida Statutes.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Zana Raybon, Executive Director, Board of Professional Engineers, 2639 North Monroe Street, Suite B-112, Tallahassee, Florida 32303.
