Professional Engineer
License Description Professional Engineers contribute greatly to the public safety, welfare, scientific progress, and defense of the nation. The results of their work have a profound effect on every phase of modern society. Engineers design industrial machinery, develop scientific equipment, supervise the construction of buildings and highways, and design consumer products and various other innovations that help people adjust to modern society. They evaluate the overall effectiveness of their new devices, as well as the cost and reliability. Although most engineers develop a specific expertise, all require a basic knowledge of common engineering methodology. The emphasis on application of scientific principles, rather than on their discovery, is the main distinguishing factor of an engineer's work from that of a scientist. The engineer's work is not limited to design and development and may include inspection, quality control, management and administration. Requirements: 1) Must be a graduate of an EAC of ABET accredited program, or equivalent engineering curriculum of four years or more, followed by four years of work experience in engineering acceptable to the board. 2) Must submit five references, three of which are from professional engineers. 3) Must pass the NCEES Fundamentals of Engineering and NCEES Principals of Practice of Engineering exams. Fees: Original Application fee: $75.00, Comity Application fee: $200.00, Temporary Permit: $150.00, Renewal fee (every 2 years): $80.00
