Interdisciplinary General Engineer

Minimum:
Basic Education Requirements:

A. Engineering Degree: Engineering. To be acceptable, the program must: (1) lead to a bachelor's degree in the school of engineering with at least one program accredited by ABET; 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 electronics.

OR

B. Combination of Education and Experience: 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 engineering. The adequacy of such background must be demonstrated by one of the following:

1. Professional Registration or Licensure. Current registration/licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) by any State, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico. Absent 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 are closely related to the specialty field of their registration. For example, an applicant to attain registration through a State Board's eminence provision as manufacturing engineer typically would be rated eligible only for manufacturing engineering positions.

2. Written Test. Evidence of having successfully passed the Fundamentals of Engineering examination, Engineer in Training examination, or any other written test required for professional registration by an engineering licensure board in the various States, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico.
