Such person shall make application for temporary license to the Board, in a manner prescribed by the Board.  After payment of a temporary license fee, a written license may be granted to perform a particular job for a definite period of time, to expire at the earliest issuance of a professional engineering license by this Board.  Further, such person shall not have been disciplined in any jurisdiction by a Board of licensure for engineering, land surveying or architecture, and shall not have been convicted in any jurisdiction of a felony.  Further, such person shall submit a complete permanent professional engineer application to the Board within thirty (30) days of the date of issuance of the temporary license with all required properly completed forms and fees.  Failure to submit a permanent professional engineer application for Board consideration within the designated thirty-day time period may be considered a violation of Section 475.1 et seq. of this title and Board rules.  No right to practice engineering shall accrue to such applicant by reason of a temporary license for any works not set forth in the license, and
