Emily Crowe, PE, SE, recently received her Structural Engineer (SE) license from the State of Illinois.
The process of becoming an SE involves having a bachelor’s degree and at least four years of structural engineering experience under another licensed engineer. This is followed by passing the Structural Engineering exam, which is comprised of two 8-hour long exams. The exams cover both vertical and lateral loads, as well as different types of building materials for buildings and bridges. Emily met the requirements and was able to pass both exams.
“ Studying for and passing the SE was incredibly challenging and it would have been even harder without the support from Origin Design.I’m so grateful to my mentors for their encouragement and all they’ve taught me. Most of the material was familiar to me, but I’ve already been able to apply things I learned to current projects and that excites me. ”
