Infrastructure development, public safety, and welfare are all impacted by the work of professional engineers. In Florida, earning a PE license is a bit more complicated than simply completing a degree, passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, and then passing the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam. Like almost all other states, Florida requires P.E.s to study after they get their license. The study materials must cover something called "the body of knowledge."
This knowledge must be pertinent to public safety, infrastructure development, and welfare. Read Now The study must be done through what are called Professional Development Hours, or PDHS. and why they are a necessity. Professional engineers in Florida must renew their licenses every two years, ensuring that they keep up to date with technological and regulatory changes. The renewal cycle ends on February 28 of odd-numbered years (e.g., 2025, 2027). Engineers can demonstrate that they are current and relevant in their field by completing continuing education.
