No states have yet changed theirrequirements.The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has been the largest opponent toraise the bar. They host their own web site “licensing that works” to compile resourcesthat oppose education beyond a Bachelor’s degree as a pre-requisite for professionallicensure [6]. In a 2010 ASME survey, 63% indicated that changes in the educationalrequirements for PE licensure were not justified [7].
