Engineers in the Profession

"Professional engineer" means an individual who, by reason of that individual's special knowledge of the mathematical and physical sciences and the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design which are acquired by education and practical experience, is qualified to engage in the practice of engineering as attested by that individual's registration as a professional engineer.


According to the law, only licensed professional engineers can practice engineering


"Practice of engineering" means any service or creative work that the adequate performance of requires engineering education, training, and experience in the application of special knowledge of the mathematical, physical, and engineering sciences to services or creative work that includes the following:

(1) Consultation.

(2) Investigation.

(3) Evaluation.

(4) Planning, including planning the use of land and water.

(5) The design of or the supervision of the design of engineering works and systems.

(6) Engineering surveys and studies or the supervision of engineering surveys and studies, …

(7) Evaluation of construction for the purpose of assuring compliance with specifications, plans, and designs, in connection with any public or private utilities, structures, buildings, machines, equipment, processes, work systems, or projects.



Exempt persons (a) An employee or a subordinate ….. (b) This chapter does not require registration for the purpose of practicing engineering by an individual or a business: (1) on property owned or leased by that individual or business unless the engineering practice involves the public health or safety, or the health or safety of the employees of that individual or business; (2) for the performance of engineering which relates solely to the design or fabrication of manufactured products; or (3) that is registered as a landscape architect under IC 25-4-2 and while the individual or business is engaged in the practice of landscape architecture planning the use of land or water.

Required by law for the professional practice of engineering

Each state and territory has a “registration law”

NCEES will be introducing Computer-Based Testing for FE and FS exams

Anticipated start date is Spring 2014

Four testing windows

Exams in testing centers

Searchable reference materials

Test duration will be 6 hours

Price will go up

Eventually, the PE exams will follow suit


NCEES Model Law proposal for implementation in 2020

Bachelors degree from ABET accredited program

Following BS degree, acceptable coursework equivalent to that of the Masters Degree

Model Law is starting to be considered by states

State Laws control engineering licensure

school

University education

Engineering Intern

Professional registration

after passing PE Exam.

Retirement Pass FE Exam and Graduate

Note: For surveyors, the corresponding exams are

the FS and PS exams.

39 of the states now have Continuing Education requirements for maintaining licenses. Typically require 24 to 30 hours per biennium

for renewal of license

Approved activities vary, but always include courses and short courses related to the practice of engineering

Rules for Indiana were established in 2010


How does a professional acquire new knowledge and keep up with developments in the field?

Answer: By continuing your education by formal and self study and by becoming involved with professional and technical societies.


Source of new knowledge and technologies

Sense of identity to the professional Represents the profession to government

and society Develop leadership skills Networking Other

Reasons to become licensed: Required by the law to practice engineering

Money

Status/Respect

Career Flexibility

Licensure is a 4-step process 1. Education from ABET accredited program

2. Pass FE Exam

3. Four years of experience as an EIT

4. Pass the PE Exam

Professional and Technical Societies play an important role in the professional lives of engineers.


Obtain a broad engineering education

Keep in mind the topics covered in the FE Exam

Plan to take the FE Exam

Apply for it at the beginning of the last semester before

graduating

Choose a job that provides qualifying work experience for the PE

Exam

Prepare for and Take the PE Exam at your earliest possible date

Continue participating in professional and technical organizations

after graduation

Continue to learn about your profession


Engineers call themselves problem solvers Engineers can solve no “real” problems Solution of “real” problems involve:

Selection of a model for the problem

Solution of the model

Evaluation of how well the solution to the model applies to the real problem.

The real engineering is in the selection of the model and in evaluating the solution, not in solving the model.
