Hey all,
Since I'm soon reaching 5 years of experience as a mechanical engineer doing R%D work for a down-hole technology company, I called the Texas Board of Professional Engineers to know the requirements to obtain a PE licence and my current roadblock is the lack of PE references that I have, which is 0 out of 3; since my whole professional experience has been in smaller companies.
That being said, does any of you hit the same obstacle on this process? and if so, how did you overcame it? I started going to more meetings and conferences on the SPE but I am not meeting enough people with relevant background to the type of work that I do. I'd love to show my work and explain and go through the motions of getting a current PE to recommend me as a reference, but do you guys know where to start?
I'd appreciate all your replies. Thanks!
