Minimum Qualifications
Basic Education/Experience Requirements: All applicants must meet one of the requirements specified in A, B, C, D or E below:
A. Graduation with a Bachelor's degree from a school of engineering in an accredited college or university.
Note: For some positions, graduation from an accredited college or university with a degree in physics, mathematics or chemistry may be accepted as qualifying, provided the applicant has had at least 15 credits in engineering sciences, common to all engineering disciplines; e.g. thermodynamics, statics, electrical science, applied mechanics, engineering drawing, strength of materials, etc.
B. Administrative, professional or technical experience involving the application and knowledge of the fundamental physical and mathematical sciences underlying professional engineering including physics, chemistry, mathematics through integral calculus and engineering sciences such as statics, dynamics, strength of material, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and engineering drawing and other specialized courses to one of the branches of engineering. Such experience must be substantially equivalent to the knowledge and understanding gained by completion of a college training leading to a Bachelor's degree in engineering; or
C. A combination of college training in engineering and experience mentioned in B above substantively equivalent to completion of a college training leading to a Bachelor's degree in engineering; or

Specialized Experience: Applicants must have had either Engineering or Architectural Experience as described below:
Engineering Experience: Progressively responsible professional engineering which required the knowledge and application of the basic physical and mathematical sciences and the engineering sciences to the solution of theoretical or practical engineering problems.
Examples of qualifying professional engineering experience are as follows:
A. The development and design of machines, equipment, structures, power, water, communication, or transportation systems and facilities, or the preparation of development, design construction specifications for such materials or systems, involving the use of theoretical and applied mechanics, knowledge of the properties of materials and other appropriate engineering and scientific knowledge and skills.
B. Original research in one or more branches of engineering, developing engineering applications of physical and other scientific principles.
C. Administration of engineering programs and projects, involving analysis of requirements for equipment and materials, study of technical feasibility and cost, selection of approach, and direction of problem solution.

In such cases, the experience must have been preceded by prior "professional" engineering experience and must contribute directly and significantly to the candidate's professional engineering competence. For example, an engineer may be assigned to a management or a computer systems analysis position in preparation for assumption of higher-level responsibilities in engineering administration.
