What this means for firm owners in Indiana
Indiana PE licenses renew on this schedule: biennial; renews July 31 of even-numbered years. Each PE needs 30 PDH per biennium, including 1 PDH of ethics. The board also requires 1 PDH in Indiana statutes and rules. Up to 15 PDH can carry forward to the next period.
Set up a system to track each PE’s renewal dates and professional development hours. Plan ahead for renewals, and verify any timing requirements with the board.
When hiring a PE licensed elsewhere, confirm the Indiana comity process with the board. Ask candidates whether they have an NCEES Record, and verify how it applies to their application.
Owner checklist
- Confirm Indiana PE renewal dates and requirements on the board website.
- Track each PE’s professional development hours, and confirm the required amount and any ethics or state-specific hours with the board.
- For out-of-state PE hires, confirm the comity process and how an NCEES Record applies.
- Check with the board whether your firm must register and what requirements apply.
