1. (1) To determine the amount of education and Work Experience required for registration as a Professional Engineer refer to 250 CMR 3.04(4): Table I. To determine the amount of education and Work Experience required for registration as a Professional Land Surveyor refer to 250 CMR 3.04(4): Table II.
2. (2) 250 CMR 3.04(4): Table I refers to program Accreditation established by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). An applicant holding a degree that is not from an ABET accredited engineering program must obtain an Equivalency Appraisal of his or her specific educational transcript of the unaccredited educational program of four years or more. This appraisal will determine whether the applicant's education is acceptable to the Board. The Equivalency Appraisal must be done by a Board-approved agency.
3. (3) An ABET accredited graduate engineering program may be substituted for an ABET accredited undergraduate program for the purpose of EIT certification, SIT certification and/or Registration.

4. (4) In interpreting the experience requirements in 250 CMR 3.04(4): Tables I and II, the following may apply:

   1. (a) A one year credit toward Work Experience requirement may be allowed for each postgraduate study program terminated successfully provided that the postgraduate degree is related to the applicant's engineering or land surveying undergraduate degree, whichever is applicable, or that the postgraduate degree is an ABET accredited degree and also provided that neither educational option will reduce the qualifying Work Experience below three years.
   2. (b) Qualifying Work Experience for teaching engineering or land surveying will be based upon a careful examination of the curriculums taught, the research associated therewith, published papers, the professional level of that experience and the degree of responsibility carried by the applicant.

   3. (c) Credit toward required years of acceptable engineering Work Experience may be allowed, up to three years, for Board-approved undergraduate education for 250 CMR 304(4): Table I or II classifications (d) and (e). Credit toward required years of acceptable land surveying Work Experience may be allowed, up to two years, for Board-approved undergraduate education for 250 CMR 304(4): Table I or II classifications (d) and (e).
