What initials can a Professional Engineer use behind his name?
Idaho licenses persons “generically” as opposed to “by discipline” so individuals are licensed as PE’s regardless of the exam they take for licensing purposes. Idaho does not object to discipline designations such as C.E., M.E., E.E. or S.E. if that indicates the principal area of practice. The Board has previously expressed an opinion that a PE who has not passed the SE exams may still use the initials “S.E.” in their title if structural engineering is their principal area of practice.
