Tennessee Board of Architectural and Engineering Examiners
2017 Legislative Update
The Tennessee General Assembly enacted statutory amendments during the 2017 legislative session which may impact licensees of the Tennessee Board of Architectural and Engineering Examiners.
Public Chapter 348 allows the Board to issue an engineer’s license to a person holding master’s degree in engineering from an institution with an ABET accredited engineering program approved by the board as being of satisfactory standing, and with a specific record of twenty (20) years or more of progressive experience on engineering projects of a grade and character that indicates to the board that the applicant is competent to practice engineering and who has passed the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination and principles and practice of engineering examination. This act is repealed on June 30, 2019.

Public Chapter No. 226 eliminates the requirement for an engineer to have obtained certification as an engineer intern and instead requires anyone applying for an engineer license to have passed an examination prepared by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying involving the fundamentals of engineering. http://publications.tnsosfiles.com/acts/110/pub/pc0226.pdf
