[SBE] defining broadcast engineering education

[Wilson Brown]

Jeff,

I belive Georgia is the only state left that doesn't give the standardized NCEES exams. And you're right, every state jealously guards its perogatives in this area.

If I read the statute properly, Georgia is one of the states that does
not require a degree to sit for the PE exam.  I wondered why people
were saying otherwise, then I realized that no two states have exactly
the same rules on anything, so they must be talking about their home
states.
