Biography or History:
The Board administers laws and regulations governing the practice of engineering and surveying in the state. The Board's primary goals are to ensure that only properly qualified and competent engineers and surveyors are licensed to practice; to promote technical competency and ethical standards consistent with the Rules of Professional Conduct applicable to engineers and surveyors; and to appropriately discipline practitioners who are found guilty of violating laws governing engineering and surveying. The Board was established in 1922 as the State Board of Engineering Examiners and the name changed to its present name in 1983. Effective 1994, the Government Restructuring Act of 1993 transferred all independent regulatory agencies under the newly formed Dept. of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation. The Board operates pursuant to Sections 40-22-2, et. seq., and 40-1-1, et. seq., Code of Laws of South Carolina, 1976, as amended.
