Louisiana Professional Engineering and Land Surveying Board

The Louisiana Professional Engineering and Land Surveying Board is a regulatory board located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Established in 1908, it is considered the second oldest licensing board of its kind in the United States. Governed by Title 37 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, the board employs five individuals. The board's primary role is to ensure the safety, health, and property of the public by licensing and regulating professional engineers and surveyors. They achieve this through examinations, licensing procedures, and upholding ethical standards within the profession. One notable distinction for the board is its historical connection to the National Council of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors (NCEES). Marcel Garsaud, a civil engineer from New Orleans, served as the first president of NCEES, highlighting the board's influence and involvement in national engineering and surveying standards.
