one member expiring each year. Land surveyors and professional
engineers wishing to practice in the State of Maryland must apply
to the Board for a certificate, supplying with their application evi-
dence of their qualifications both in terms of experience and training.
Except when the passing of a written examination is mandatory, it
is within the discretion of the Board whether or not a particular
applicant need take an examination. Through the cooperation of the
local chapters of the engineering fraternities, the Board seeks to
secure voluntary compliance with the law and the maintenance of the
ethical standards of the profession. The Board is a member of the
National Council of State Boards of Engineering Examiners which
aids in the reciprocal licensing of engineers and seeks to promote
uniform standards of licensing in all States (Code 1951, Art. 75 1/2
secs. 3-20).
