S. licensure began in 1891 when California passed legislation to regulate surveying. Engineering followed in 1907 when Wyoming began requiring licensure for both engineers and surveyors . As more states enacted similar legislation over the next decade, U. S. licensing boards began to see a need for a national council to help improve uniformity of laws and to promote mobility of licensure throughout the country.  \nThe organization now known as the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) was created in 1920 for these reasons . The members of NCEES are the engineering and surveying licensing boards from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U. S. Virgin Islands. They are organized by zones: Central, Northeast, Southern, and Western . Each zone meets in the spring as well as at the Council's annual business meeting in August.  \nDevelopments in Licensure  \nNew York,  \nT I M E L I N E  \nVirginia  \nWyoming Colorado,  \nIdaho, Iowa, Michigan PE, Nevada, Oregon  \nDistrict of Columbia  \nIllinois PE,  \nNew Hampshire PE  \nDelaware PE, Massachusetts, Missouri  \nTexas PS  \nNebraska PS  \nGuam  \nMichigan  \nPS  \nU.S. Virgin Islands  \nMaine PS  \nArizona, Indiana PE, Indiana PS, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee PE, West Virginia PE  \nGeorgia, Nebraska PE, Texas PE  \nOhio  \nKentucky, Rhode Island PE  \nAlabama, Connecticut, Maine PE, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah, Washington  \nPuerto Rico  \nFlorida PS, Kansas, Wisconsin  \nDelaware PS  \nNew Hampshire PS, Tennessee PS, Vermont PS, West Virginia PS  \nNorthern Mariana Islands  \nRhode Island PS  \nTexas PE and PS boards  \nNCEES Centennial  \ncombined  \nSouth Carolina  \nHawaii  \nMississippi  \nArkansas, South Dakota  \nNCEES created  \n1920  \nCalifornia PS  \nLouisiana  \nIllinois  \nSE  \nFlorida PE  \nNote: States and territories not listed as PE o r PS began licensing both professions in these years .  \n1921  \n1928  \n1922  \n1923  \n1925  \n1969  \n1977  \n1978  \n1990  \n2019  \n2020  \n1927  \n1891  \n1907  \n1908  \n1915  \n1917  \n1919  \n1955  \n1957  \n1960  \n1963  \n1967  \n1968  \nBrand Evolution  \nA C E N T U R Y O F I D E N T I T Y  \n1 9 8 6  \n1 9 9 5 | 7 5 T H  \n1 9 8 8  \n2 0 0 4  \n2 0 0 9 – P R E S E N T  \n1 9 8 9  \n2 0 0 7 | 1 0 0 Y E A R SO F E N G I N E E R I N GL I C E N S U R E  \n2 0 2 0 | 1 0 0 T H  \nNCEES: A Century  \nE X E C U T I V E D I R E C T O R S  \nT.
