PE with Masters Degree on top of Technology Degree
Has anyone here had experience getting a PE with a masters on top of a fire protection engineering tech degree? I am weighing my options of finishing my tech degree and getting my masters or transferring to a straight BS in engineering so that I can get my FPE. Transferring degrees or getting my masters wil take about the same time so I am not concerned there. The state I am looking to get my license in is Missouri but also the surrounding states and of course they all have pretty much the same rules. The statutes read that as long as the masters is gotten from an institution where the BS is accredited then I could be given a license but when I ask the question the people are kind of vague with their answers. My guess is they don’t want to be held liable for it being incorrect since it is up to the board to approve licensure. Has anyone taken this path or have advice? Do I finish and go for masters or switch to engineering to save the headache of hoping the masters and tech will work
