or college approved by the Board as of satisfactory stand-
ing, without graduation, shall be considered as equivalent
to a year of experience in Section 12 (1) b. Graduation in
a curriculum other than engineering from a college or
university of recognized standing may be considered as
equivalent to two years of experience in Section 12 (1) b;
provided, however, that no applicant shall receive credit
for more than four years of experience because of under-
graduate educational qualifications.

Work as Contractor. The mere execution, as a contrac-
tor, of work designed by a professional engineer, or the
supervision of the construction of such work as a foreman
or superintendent shall not be deemed to be practice in
professional engineering.

essary qualifications prescribed in this Article to entitle
