As a profession engineer you have an extraordinary responsibility to the public. Failure to follow applicable laws and standards of practice can lead to sever consequences. The Maryland Code of Ethics requires licensed professional engineers to maintain current awareness of statutes, regulations, and ethical issues surrounding the profession.
The following examination is provided by the Maryland Board for Professional Engineers to give licensees an opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge of the Maryland Statutes, Regulations, and Code of Ethics. Licensees will earn one professional development hour for successfully completing this examination.
It is highly recommended that you review the Maryland Laws and Regulations prior to and during the examination. The links are provided below:
Maryland Professional Engineer Regulations - COMAR -
Title 14, Business Occupations and Professions, Annotated Code of Maryland
The examination consists of 50-60 questions that are based on Maryland Statutes and Regulations. You will have one hour to complete the open book examination and must score at least 80 percent to earn professional development hours. You may retake the examination as many times as necessary, but may only receive one professional development hour per licensing period.
Upon successful completion of the examination you will receive a certificate of completion by electronic mail. This certificate will be used as evidence of completion in order to claim the one professional development hour for laws, regulations, and professional ethics.
