Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including
volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g.,
professional, philanthropic, religious, spiritual, community,
student, social)Volunteer work helps build critical competencies,
knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and
experience that translates directly to paid employmentEducation
BASIC EDUCATION REQUIREMENT:--- (A) Successfully completed a
bachelor's degree or higher in engineeringTo be acceptable, the
program must: (1) lead to a bachelor's degree (or higher) in a
school of engineering with at least one program accredited by the
Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology
(ABET(https://www.abet.org/)); or (2) include differential and
integral calculus and courses (more advanced than first-year
physics and chemistry) in five of the following seven areas of
engineering science or physics: (a)statics, dynamics; (b) strength
of materials (stress-strain relationships); (c) fluid mechanics,
hydraulics; (d) thermodynamics; (e)electrical fields and circuits;
(f) nature and properties of materials (relating particle and
aggregate structure to properties); and(g) any other comparable
area of fundamental engineering science or physics, such as optics,
heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronicsSuch education must
demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to do
the work of the positionOR--- (B) A combination of college-level
education, training, and/or technical experience that furnished (1)
a thorough knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences
underlying engineering, and (2) a good understanding, both
theoretical and practical, of the engineering sciences and
techniques and their applications to one of the branches of
engineeringThe adequacy of such background must be demonstrated by
one of the following:--- Professional registration or licensure:
Current registration as an Engineer Intern (EI), Engineer in
Training (EIT), or licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) by any
State, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto RicoAbsent other
means of qualifying under this standard, those applicants who
achieved such registration by means other than written test (e.g.,
State grandfather or eminence provisions) are eligible only for
positions that are within or closely related to the specialty field
of their registrationFor example, an applicant who attains
registration through a State Board's eminence provision as a
manufacturing engineer typically would be rated eligible only for
manufacturing engineering positions.--- Written Test: Evidence of
having successfully passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE)
examination or any other written test required for professional
registration by an engineering licensure board in the various
States, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico.---
Specified academic courses: Successful completion of at least 60
semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and
engineering sciences and that included the courses specified in the
basic requirements under paragraph AThe courses must be fully
acceptable toward meeting the requirements of an engineering
program as described in paragraph A (above).--- Related curriculum:
Successful completion of a curriculum leading to a bachelor's
degree in an appropriate scientific field, e.g., engineering
technology, physics, chemistry, architecture, computer science,
mathematics, hydrology, or geology, may be accepted in lieu of a
bachelor's degree in engineering, provided the applicant has had at
least 1 year of professional engineering experience acquired under
professional engineering supervision and guidanceOrdinarily there
should be either an established plan of intensive training to
develop professional engineering competence, or several years of
prior professional engineering-type experience, e.g., in
interdisciplinary positions(The above examples of related curricula
are not all-inclusive.) Note: An applicant who meets the basic
requirements as specified in A or B above, except as noted under
B.1., may qualify for positions in any branch of engineering unless
