To be acceptable, 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: (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. (Transcripts MUST be submitted with your application package) B. Registration as a professional engineer 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 or closely related to the specialty field of their registration. For 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. (Certificate of registration MUST be submitted with your application package.) C.

Successful completion of at least 60 semester hours or 90 quarter hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences and in engineering that included courses specified in the basic requirements. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of a professional engineering curriculum as described in paragraph A above.

OR Education: You must have successfully completed 3 years of progressively higher level graduate education leading to a Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree in Chemical, Environmental or Civil Engineering with emphasis in Environmental, Geotechnical and/or Site Civil Engineering. OR Combination: If you meet the specialized experience as described in A, but less than one year; and you have more than two years, but less than three years of graduate-level education as described in the education requirements above. (To compute the percentage. divide your total months of qualifying experience by 12. Then divide your semester hours above two years of' graduate education by 18. Add the two percentages. The total percentage must equal at least 100 percent to qualify. (NOTE: You must attach a copy of your transcripts in your application.) Specialized Experience for GS-12: One year of specialized experience which includes: Experience (1) providing engineering expertise for environmental investigations and designs such as Site Investigations, Remedial Investigations, Feasibility Studies, Remedial Designs and Remedial Actions conducted under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) process; and (2) providing technical support on concerning problem areas of engineering design or construction.
