2. (b) The Experience Report shall consist of two parts:

   1. (1) Part 1: Experience Summary.

   1. (1) provide an overall description of the nature and scope of the work with emphasis on detailed descriptions of the engineering work;
   2. (2) clearly describe the engineering work that the applicant personally performed;
   3. (3) delineate the role of the applicant in any group engineering activity; and
   4. (4) include any relevant training or participation in engineering organizations or societies that contribute to the applicant's competence and readiness for licensure (consistent with the requirements listed in §137.17 of this title (relating to Continuing Education Program).

4. (d) All experience claimed in the Experience Summary to meet the minimum requirements for licensure shall be verified by an individual who has personal knowledge of the applicant's engineering experience at the time of employment. Individuals permitted to submit verifications shall be:

   1. (1) A licensed Professional Engineer who was a supervisor, department manager, or in an oversight role of the applicant;
   2. (2) A non-licensed individual who was a supervisor, department manager, or in an oversight role of the applicant; or
   3. (3) An individual in Human Resources or other similar role.
5. (e) All experience described in the Professional Competency Profile to meet the minimum requirements for licensure shall be reviewed and approved by currently licensed professional engineer reference providers pursuant to §133.51 of this chapter (relating to Reference Providers).
6. (f) Experience that is unsupported by verification or references may not be considered.
7. (g) Experience from part-time employment must be accounted for proportionally to a standard 40-hour work week, if it was part-time employment.

   1. (1) Applicants applying under §1001.302(a)(1)(A) of the Act shall provide an Experience Report describing a minimum of four years of qualifying engineering experience.
   2. (2) Applicants applying under §1001.302(a)(1)(B) of the Act shall provide an Experience Report describing a minimum of eight years of engineering experience.
   3. (3) Applicants seeking a waiver from the examination on the fundamentals of engineering and/or the examination on the principles and practices of engineering requirements shall provide an Experience Report describing at least the minimum number of years of experience required for a waiver of examinations under §133.69 of this chapter (relating to Waiver of Examinations).
