What is the maximum size boiler a Special Engineer may serve as an apprentice under supervision?

100 horsepower
Any size boiler
50 horsepower
Only low pressure boilers

The correct answer is: Any size boiler

A Special Engineer may serve as an apprentice under supervision for any size boiler. This flexibility allows trainees to gain valuable hands-on experience in various operational settings beyond limitations based on boiler size. The intent is to ensure that apprentices are well-equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to handle different types of boilers they may encounter in their careers. This option reflects the understanding that practical training on various systems is crucial in developing competence in boiler operations. By providing opportunities to interact with large and complex systems, apprentices can better prepare for licensure requirements and improve their overall proficiency. Consequently, restrictions based solely on the horsepower of the boiler would not facilitate a comprehensive training experience that is essential in the field of boiler operation.
