The specific requirements for initial licensing in Iowa are established in Iowa Code section 542B.14, and it is the board’s intention to issue initial licensure only when those requirements are satisfied as set forth in the statute.  \n4.1(1) First, the applicant for initial licensure in Iowa must satisfy the educational requirements as follows:  \na. Graduation from an engineering program of four years or more.  \n(1) If an applicant did not graduate from an Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology/Engineering Accreditation Commission (ABET/EAC) - or Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB)-accredited curriculum, the applicant must also complete, in addition to the engineering degree, one extra year of practical experience satisfactory to the board after receiving the engineering degree. The experience must be verified by a professional engineer (PE) supervisory reference.  \n(2) An engineering technology curriculum does not constitute an engineering program of four years or more.  \nb. If an applicant obtained an associate of science degree or a more advanced degree between July 1, 1983, and June 30, 1988, the board shall only require satisfactory completion of a minimum of two years of postsecondary study in mathematics, physical sciences, engineering technology, or engineering at an institution approved by the board and six years of practical experience which, in the opinion ofthe board, is of satisfactory character to properly prepare the applicant for the Fundamentals of Engineering examination. (Applicants qualifying under this subrule must successfully complete the Fundamentals of Engineering examination by June 30, 2001.)  \nc. The educational requirement may be fulfilled by a master ’s degree in engineering from an institution in the United States of America which offers an accredited bachelor ’s degree in the same curriculum. The master ’s degree candidate must be required to fulfill the requirements for the bachelor ’s degree in the same area of specialization. An applicant with a master ’s degree in engineering from an institution in the United States of America that does not offer an accredited bachelor ’s degree in the same curriculum will be required to have an additional year of qualifying experience obtained after receipt of the qualifying degree. Applicants using a master ’s degree as the qualifying degree may not also use the master ’s degree for qualifying experience credit.  \nd. The educational requirement may be fulfilled by a doctor of philosophy degree in engineering from an institution in the United States of America which offers an accredited bachelor ’s degree in the same curriculum. The doctoral candidate must be required to fulfill the requirements for the bachelor ’s degree in the same area ofspecialization. An applicant with a doctor of philosophy degree in engineering from an institution in the United States of America that does not offer an accredited bachelor ’s degree in the same curriculum will be required to have an additional year of qualifying experience obtained after receipt of the qualifying degree. Applicants using a doctor of philosophy degree as the qualifying degree may not also use the doctor of philosophy degree for qualifying experience credit or as an exemption for the Fundamentals of Engineering examination (FE exam) .  \n4.1(2) Second, the applicant must successfully complete the FE exam.  \na. An applicant may take the FE exam any time after the educational requirements as specified above are completed, but the applicant must successfully complete the FE exam prior to taking the Principles and Practice of Engineering examination.  \nb. College seniors studying an ABET/EAC- or CEAB-accredited curriculum may take the FE exam during the final academic year. Applicants will be permitted to take the examination during the testing period which most closely precedes anticipated graduation.  \nc.
