The Board of Architectural andEngineering Examiners (A&E Board) is

under the Department of Commerce andInsurance and regulates four professions –architecture, engineering, landscapearchitecture and interior design. The A&EBoard consists of three architects, threeengineers, one landscape architect, oneregistered interior designer, three associateengineer members – all registered in theirfield – and one public member appointed bythe Governor. Board members represent thethree grand divisions in Tennessee – East,West, and Middle – and regulate more than19,000 registrants. Each profession has itsown national regulatory council.

Public members (individuals not registeredin the professions regulated by agovernment agency) serve a critical role onregulatory boards and commissions byproviding a consumer-focused perspectiveand representing the consumer’s interests.Board decisions must be based on morethan technical information, and publicmembers offer practical insights thatcontribute to the quality of decisions. Also,public members assist in the prevention ofpractices that may be advantageous to theregulated profession but detrimental to theconsumer.

It is a privilege to serve as the publicmember and Chair of the A&E Board.During my four years of service as a publicmember of the Board, I have learned howthe Board and the members function. I amimpressed by the Board members’ impartialregulation of registrants located in the threegrand divisions of our state. This Board isalso somewhat unique by operating withoutany direct financial support from the State.Operating income is derived fromregistrants’ application, registration andrenewal fees.

The Board’s mission “is to protect the publichealth, safety and welfare . . . by means ofevaluation, education, examination,licensure and disciplinary action; and tocommunicate with its registrants and thepublic regarding the laws and standards ofthe professions.”

During my time on the Board, the criticalrole that registered design professionals playin safeguarding life, health, and propertyand promoting the public welfare hasbecome evident to me. As stated in theBoard’s A Consumer’s Guide to the DesignProfessions:

A registered design professional promotesthe health, safety, and welfare of thepublic by planning and designingbuildings, structures, and the spaceswithin and surrounding such buildingsand structures, that:

• Minimize the risk of injury topersons and property, andcomply with all applicablebuilding and life safety codes;

• Are durable, environmentallyfriendly, cost-effective, andconserve resources;

• Are aesthetically appealing;

• Function properly in all relevantrespects; and

• Enhance the public’s overallsense of well-being, harmonyand community, and integrateeffectively with the surroundingenvironment.

My fellow Board members take theseresponsibilities seriously, and I havewitnessed the disciplining of manyregistrants for violations of the Rules ofProfessional Conduct. The Board alsoaggressively pursues cases of unlicensed

practice. In some cases, unlicensedindividuals prepare plans for assembly andeducational occupancies, such as churchesand daycare facilities, which is particularlyalarming. In such cases, the Board has theauthority to impose civil penalties and toseek other remedies to restrain or prohibitany unauthorized practice.

Although much emphasis is placed on theenforcement actions of the Board, the roleof Board members in reviewing applicationsfor registration is equally important andconsumes much more of their time. It isthe responsibility of the Board to make surethat all applicants for architectural,engineering, landscape architectural andinterior design registration meet theeducation, experience and examinationrequirements of the law and rules and arethus qualified to practice or use the title“registered interior designer” in this state.Board members dedicate countless hours tothis task with little compensation.

I am honored, as a public servant, to serveon this great Board composed of suchtalented professionals. My heartfelt thanksgoes to David Schuermann, Philip Lim, HalBalthrop, Robert Campbell, Jr., JamesHastings, Jr., Bill Lockwood, LeslieShankman-Cohn, Richard Thompson,Dennis Henderson, Alton Hethcoat, II,Carlton Norris and our dear friend, the lateRobert Campbell, as well as John Cothron,Robert Herndon and their supporting staff.

Each member serves a critical role on theBoard in protecting the consumer’s interestsand giving practical insight on decisionsmade.

I believe in volunteerism and that oneperson can make a difference. There aremany volunteers on boards such as oursacross the country, and collectively we makea huge difference.

Fellow Board members and staff, it has beenan honor to serve with you, and thank youfor your friendship and support and whatyou have taught me. �

NEW CONTRACTOR’SLICENSING AND

BIDDINGREQUIREMENTS

By Carolyn Lazenby, Executive Director,Board for Licensing Contractors

Law changesfrom the 2010

legislative sessionhave revised thecontractor’slicense and bidrequirements forprojects $25,000and up. Asbefore, T.C.A. § 62-6-119 requires the PrimeContractor’s Name, License Number,Expiration Date and the Classificationapplying to the bid to be listed on theoutside of the bid envelope (or electronicbid document) along with their Electrical,Plumbing, and HVAC contractors, unlesstheir portion is less than $25,000. EffectiveJuly 1, 2010, Public Chapter 768 nowrequires the Masonry contractor to be listed,unless the masonry portion is less than$100,000. Failing to provide thisinformation makes the bid unacceptable andprohibits the awarding authority fromopening and considering the bid.

In addition, effective January 1, 2011, PublicChapter 950 will no longer exempt Masonrysubcontractors from the license law and theywill be required to have a contractor’slicense with the new LMC (LicensedMasonry Contractor) classification in orderto bid or perform work in excess of$100,000, including materials and labor.Therefore, unlicensed masonrysubcontractors will need to obtain acontractor’s license; and currently licensedmasonry contractors with a BC-9 or BCcommercial classification, will need toobtain a license revision to add the newLMC classification. The law does notprovide any grandfather considerations andall must take the new masonry LMC tradeexam. After January 1st, awardingauthorities must reject any bid without thenew LMC masonry classification for bids inthe amount of $100,000 and over, includingmaterials and labor.

The Tennessee Board of Architectural and Engineering Examiners continues to participatein meetings of the following national regulatory councils: the National Council of

Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB), the National Council of Examiners forEngineering and Surveying (NCEES), the Council of Landscape Architectural RegistrationBoards (CLARB), and the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ). Thenational councils assist member boards by developing uniform national examinations andmodel laws and regulations, among other responsibilities.

The following issues were discussed at the NCARB Annual Meeting in San Francisco,California on June 23-26, 2010:

• Continuing education: NCARB’s role in continuing education was discussed, as wellas the problem of different continuing education standards among the variousjurisdictions, which impedes continuing education reciprocity. It was announced thatNCARB will not create new continuing education monographs; however, they willcontinue to sell and grade their existing inventory. NCARB also desires to play asignificant role in accrediting health, safety and welfare (HSW) programs inpartnership with AIA. Furthermore, NCARB, working with its Member Boards, willdevelop draft standards for the improved regulation of continuing education forpresentation next year.

• Intern Development Program (IDP) changes: Changes that will occur in PhaseThree of IDP 2.0, which will be implemented in 2011, were outlined and discussed.These changes will align the current IDP training areas with the new experience areasrequired for the competent practice of architecture as identified in the 2007 PracticeAnalysis of Architecture. New types of supplemental experience, such as site visitswith a mentor and design competitions, will also be allowed. It was stressed thatinterns will NOT lose any experience hours during this transition.

• NCARB fee increases: The reasoning behind recent fee increases for NCARB serviceswas outlined. NCARB wants to move toward a business model in which services aresupported by their own fees, and so they are reducing subsidies of Council services.The main burden of the fee increases will be borne by non-certified architectsapplying for a NCARB record, not current record-holders or interns. It was stressedthat NCARB made budget cuts in several areas (e.g., employee benefits and travelexpenses) before making this decision. Also, it was stated that the fee increases arenecessary to fund ongoing technology and customer service improvements, and thatmost fees have not been increased since July 2007.

The following issues were discussed at the NCEES Annual Meeting in Denver, Colorado onAugust 18-21, 2010:

• Computer-based testing: The Computer-Based Testing (CBT) Task Force reportedthat NCEES has taken the current format of the paper-and-pencil exams to the limitof its effectiveness in measuring minimum competency. CBT would eliminate manyof the security risks associated with paper-and-pencil examination processes, and alsoprovides the possibility for more sophisticated question and response types to betterassess minimum competency. Another advantage cited was greater schedulingflexibility for candidates by enabling candidates to sit for the exam anytime, multiplelocations through certified testing centers and more timely results. The Task Forcemoved to convert the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) and Fundamentals ofSurveying (FS) exams at the earliest feasible date to a CBT format. The motionpassed. The transition is expected to take at least two years.

REPORT ON NATIONAL COUNCIL ACTIVITIES

By John Cothron, Executive Director

• Engineering education: A motion passed to charge theUniform Procedures and Legislative Guidelines (UPLG)Committee with amending the Model Law to add thefollowing as an alternative path to licensure after 2020 (as analternative to the master’s or equivalent requirement):

A B.S. degree from an Engineering AccreditationCommission (EAC) / Accreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology (ABET) - accredited program thatrequires a minimum of 150 semester credit hours (musthave at least 115 credit hours of math, science, andengineering, with at least 75 of the 115 hours inengineering).

Another motion passed to continue studying thefollowing proposed alternative path to licensure:

A B.S. degree from an ABET-accredited program plus aprescribed number of technical development units and sixyears of experience with structured mentoring.

• Faculty licensure: The Faculty Licensure Task Force movedto create an alternate pathway to licensure in the Model Lawfor those individuals who have earned a doctoral degree inengineering. The proposed language would have requiredfour years of experience (which could be teachingengineering courses) and passage of an examination coveringlicensure laws, professional practice, and ethics. The motionfailed. Another motion clarifying that the teaching ofengineering courses is considered acceptable experiencepassed.

• Other significant motions:

• A motion passed charging the UPLG Committee withamending the Model Rules to require a minimum of 1Professional Development Hour (PDH) in ethics and/orbusiness-related practice during each renewal period.

• A new position statement was adopted urging memberboards to require engineering supervision over the designand erection of tower crane foundations.

• The Model Law was amended to require each branchoffice to have a resident engineer/surveyor in charge thatmust spend a majority of normal business hours at aparticular branch office.

• The Model Rules were amended to allow continuingprofessional competency credits for K-12 or highereducation outreach activities (not to exceed 3 PDHs). Asimilar rule change is currently pending in Tennessee.

• At the urging of the Louisiana Board, the Southern Zonepassed a motion supporting PE involvement in oildrilling.

The following issues were discussed at the CLARB Annual Meetingin Baltimore, Maryland on August 26-28, 2010:

• Landscape architecture and public welfare study: Attendeesreceived a “sneak peek” of the results of CLARB’s historic“defining welfare” research project. This study is intended toclarify how landscape architecture impacts the public’swelfare. The following definition was proposed: “Publicwelfare in the context of landscape architecture means thestewardship of natural environments and of humancommunities in order to enhance social, psychological,cultural and physical functioning, now and in the future.”The study will not be published until it has been under peer-review and refined.

• Continuing education: The Landscape ArchitectureContinuing Education System (LA CES) approves continuingeducation providers for landscape architects. To date, 20 outof 33 member boards with mandatory continuing education,including Tennessee, have agreed to accept courses offered byLA CES-approved providers, and there are currently morethan 100 approved providers. Compliance will be monitored(20% of providers will be audited), and boards can request areview of questionable courses or providers. The potentialchallenges and benefits of uniformity in continuing educationstandards were discussed in the regional meetings, and it wasagreed that greater uniformity is needed.

• CLARB certification standards: The CLARB certificationstandards were reviewed in the regional meetings todetermine how they can be brought into alignment with staterequirements to better facilitate reciprocity. Tennessee’sregistration requirements differ substantially from the CLARBstandards because a degree from a Landscape ArchitecturalAccreditation Board (LAAB)-accredited program is requiredfor registration in Tennessee.

• It was announced that all 50 states now regulate the practiceof landscape architecture.

The following issues were discussed during the NCIDQ AnnualMeeting on November 12-13, 2010, which was conducted byteleconference:

• Continuing education registry: Refinements are being madeto the NCIDQ continuing education registry, which ismoving to a new technology platform that will offer moreflexibility to users.

• Alternate education review process: An update wasprovided on the development of an alternate educationreview process to evaluate degrees that are not from Councilfor Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA)-accredited interiordesign programs.

• Broadly Experienced Interior Designer Program: The newBroadly Experienced Interior Designer Program will launchin 2011. This new route for eligibility will allow applicantswho have followed a non-traditional path into the professionto apply for consideration as a candidate for the NCIDQcertificate. Such individuals would not be eligible forregistration in Tennessee without completing an interiordesign degree. �
