The Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors, estab-
lished by Chapter 752, Acts of 1939, consists of five members appointed
by the Governor for five-year terms, one term expiring each year.
Four members must be professional engineers and one a practicing
land surveyor. Land surveyors and professional engineers wishing to
practice in the State of Maryland must apply to the Board for a cer-
tificate, supplying with their application evidence of their qualifica-
tions both in experience and training. Except when a written examina-
tion is mandatory, the Board may decide 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 1957, Art. 75%,
sees. 3-20). The law was amended, by Chapter 157, Acts of 1961, to
provide for an annual renewal fee of five dollars, due July I of each
year, with an additional lee for tardy registrants.
