Brian, is that full decision available on line anywhere that you are aware of?
Experience requirements?
We have an 8-yr requirement 4, 4 of which are supposed to be "in responsible charge." I know people who have written letters of recommendation for applicants who they "knew without a doubt could not pass the exam." Some of those folks are now registrants and think they are now in "responsible charge" while not having a clue about what they should be doing. I know several who I would not let mow my lawn...
I believe that this is the biggest single problem in our field, and if not solved soon may drive us into extinction.
That little tid-bit there would be why I am licensed in the other Washington..
Seriously, is there no exception for previously monuments Lots or 100 plus years of possession?
Jim, drop me a note pls5116 at sdi-baja dot com
thanks
Ashton, I hope no offense was taken, it certainly wasn't my intent. I was only thinking in the context of engineers can put very precise numbers on a paper, and get them to add up. Boundary retracement is more akin to making things fit. Setting original monuments might be more akin to exact measurements. Perhaps "engineering mentality" was a bad choice of terms.
I always wonder why, when the distance between two or three corners are different than plat, how does one decide which one is in the wrong place? (I guess his point is that he is doing a most-probable by tying in more the three monuments and doing a least squares analysis on them all).
In Mass, using the experience route to registration, it's 12 years, 6 in responsible charge. After you pass the SIT, you must pass an oral interview to sit for the final exam. That oral exam is where they should get in to the finer points, but that's assuming the interviewer understands the finer points, which may not always be the case.:excruciating:
