Foreign Degrees

I'm often asked by recent immigrants whether the engineering degrees they acquired overseas could apply toward engineering degree requirements for jobs in Colorado's energy industry. I found the following answer from the Colorado State Department of Regulatory Agencies, PE (Professional Engineer) licensing information

Q: Does Colorado recognize the Washington Accord Agreement for foreign degrees?

A: Applicants who graduated from universities in countries that are Washington Accord signatories are no longer exempted from the evaluation requirements for foreign degrees and the Washington Accord status is no longer recognized by the Board as of February 10, 2006. The exception is any degree accredited by the Canadian Accreditation Board (CAB). All other foreign degrees are required to be evaluated by ECEI (for degrees evaluated prior to October 30, 2006) and by either AACRAO - you need a course-by-course evaluation) or CPEES (for degrees reviewed on or after October 30, 2006) if the applicant wishes to have his/her education considered for credit in the application review process.
