Engineering Licensure
Engineering Licensure is a formal process that allows engineers to practice their profession legally and ensures they meet specific standards of education, experience, and ethics. In many countries, obtaining a license typically requires earning a degree from an accredited engineering program, passing a series of exams, and completing a certain amount of work experience under a licensed engineer.
The primary purpose of Engineering Licensure is to protect the public by ensuring that only qualified individuals can offer engineering services. Licensed engineers are often referred to as Professional Engineers (PE) and may have the authority to sign off on projects, ensuring compliance with safety and regulatory standards.
