Basic Requirements:
1. Degree in professional engineering
To be creditable, the curriculum must:
(1) be in a school of engineering with at least one curriculum accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) as a professional engineering curriculum; 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:
-- statics, dynamics;
-- strength of materials (stress-strain relationships);
-- fluid mechanics, hydraulics;
-- thermodynamics;
-- electrical fields and circuits;
-- nature and properties of materials (relating particle and aggregate structure to properties); and
-- any other comparable area of fundamental engineering science or physics, such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics.
--OR--
2. 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 professional 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:
(a) current registration as a professional engineer by any State, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico;
(b) evidence of having successfully passed the Engineer-in-Training (EIT) examination or the written test required for professional registration;
(c) successful completion of at least 60 semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences that are fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of a professional engineering curriculum; or
(d) successful completion of a curriculum leading to a bachelor's degree in engineering technology or in an appropriate professional field.
Special Instructions for Foreign Education:
Education completed outside of the United States must be deemed equivalent to that gained in conventional/accredited U.S. education programs to be acceptable for Federal employment.
Qualifying education from colleges and universities in foreign countries must be evaluated in terms of equivalency to that acquired in U.S. colleges and universities. Applicants educated in whole or in part of foreign countries must submit sufficient evidence, including transcripts, to an accredited private organization for an equivalency evaluation of course work and degree.
You must provide a copy of the letter containing the results of the equivalency evaluation with a course by course listing if selected.
