How structural engineering licensure works in Connecticut

Connecticut does not issue a separate Structural Engineer license. Structural engineers practice under the Professional Engineer (PE) license and renew it like any other PE.

Connecticutdoes not require continuing education for PE (and therefore SE) renewal. If you hold licenses in other states, you'll still need to track their CE.

An SE is earned via the NCEES 16-hour Structural Engineering exam, taken after you hold a PE. PE License Pro tracks your SE and PE side by side and applies the Connecticut renewal rule to both.
