Board approves multiple reciprocity applicants and tables several pending transcript clarifications
Summary
The board approved numerous reciprocity and exam applicants, denied some for educational deficiencies, and tabled particular applications (including MD Taslim Uddin and Syed Amir Hassan) pending transcripts or clarification about U.S. code/project experience.
The licensure board processed a large batch of licensure and reciprocity applications during the meeting. The board approved multiple applicants across several classifications after reviewers reported education, experience, and endorsement checks were satisfactory; approvals were recorded by voice vote.
Approved items included: Daniel Cote (Class 6A exam credit part 1); several Class 1 applicants (Burwell, Chang, Flynn, Asim Gautam and others); reciprocity approvals for Yang Lu, Chad Keller (Keller had a past disciplinary finding in North Carolina), Mahmood Musa, Matthew Setsikorn and Rohan Sharma; and Syed Shah for reciprocity. A motion to deny Nicola Fontaine for lacking a four‑year engineering curriculum also carried.
The board tabled a small number of applications for additional documentation or clarification. Reviewers asked for transcripts and clarification about whether foreign applicants worked on U.S. projects or applied U.S. codes. Specifically, the board tabled MD Taslim Uddin’s application pending clarification of whether his foreign experience involved application of U.S. codes or U.S-based projects, and it tabled Syed Amir Hassan to request undergraduate and master’s transcripts after an NCES evaluation flagged missing math/science credits.
Motions for each applicant were made and seconded by board members in sequence and carried by voice votes; the transcript records the board’s actions without detailed roll-call tallies. Where disciplinary history was disclosed (for example, Chad Keller), the board weighed the disciplinary finding and approved his reciprocity application.
The board closed the agenda after completing applicant reviews, adopted the C1 policy for future evaluations, and adjourned.
