6Introduction What is PE?Source NSPE-USA
website www.nspe.org
- A century ago, anyone could work as an engineer
without proof of competency. In order to protect
the public health, safety, and welfare, the first
engineering licensure law was enacted in 1907 in
Wyoming. Now every state regulates the practice
of engineering to ensure public safety by
granting only Professional Engineers (PEs) the
authority to sign and seal engineering plans and
offer their services to the public.
7Introduction What is PE?Source NSPE USA
website www.nspe.org
- To use the PE seal, engineers must complete
several steps to ensure their competency. - Earn a four-year degree in engineering from an
accredited university - Pass the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam
- Complete four years of progressive engineering
experience under a PE - Pass the Principles and Practice of Engineering
(PE) exam
8Introduction What makes a PE different from an
engineer?
- PEs must also continuously demonstrate their
competency and maintain and improve their skills
by fulfilling continuing education requirements
depending on the state in which they are
licensed. - Only a licensed engineer may prepare, sign and
seal, and submit engineering plans and drawings
to a public authority for approval, or seal
engineering work for public and private clients. - PEs shoulder the responsibility for not only
their work, but also for the lives affected by
that work and must hold themselves to high
ethical standards of practice.
9Introduction What makes a PE different from an
engineer?
- Licensure for a consulting engineer or a private
practitioner is not something that is merely
desirable it is a legal requirement for those
who are in responsible charge of work, be they
principals or employees. - Licensure for engineers in government has become
increasingly significant. In many federal, state,
and municipal agencies, certain governmental
engineering positions, particularly those
considered higher level and responsible
positions, must be filled by licensed
professional engineers. - Many states require that individuals teaching
engineering must also be licensed. Exemptions to
state laws are under attack, and in the future,
those in education, as well as industry and
government, may need to be licensed to practice.
Also, licensure helps educators prepare students
for their future in engineering.
10Professional Registration UKSource IET UK
- Why become registered?
- Categories of registration.
- Benefits of registration.
- Maintaining your registration.
- Source Institution of Engineering
Technology, UK. Website www.theiet.org
11Why become registered?
- Professional registration is an important
milestone for any engineer or technologist. The
IET is licensed by the Engineering Council to
award the professional engineering qualifications
defined in the UK Standard for Professional
Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC) and the
Information and Communications Technology
Technician (ICTTech) Standard. Becoming
professionally registered shows your peers and
employers that you have demonstrated professional
competence.
12Professional registration recognises your
competence, commitment, skills and experience.
13Categories of registration
- Chartered Engineer (CEng)
- Incorporated Engineer (IEng)
- Engineering Technician (EngTech)
- ICT Technician (ICTTech).
- Chartered Engineers (CEng) who are IET registered
can apply for International Professional Engineer
(IntPE) professional registration. - Incorporated Engineers (IEng) who are IET
registered can apply for International
Engineering Technologist (IntET) professional
registration.
14Benefits of registration.
- Recognition as a professional in your field
- Improved self motivation, career opportunities
and salary prospects - Greater influence within your organisation and
industry - Confirmation that you are a competent engineer
- Connecting you with innovative, influential and
inspirational people - International recognition of your qualifications.
15Maintaining your registration.
- Currently there are no requirements for
re-assessment once registration has been granted,
and you will remain on the Engineering Council
register whilst you remain a member of a licensed
body. Joining the register confirms your
commitment to both the Engineering Council's
Guidelines for Institutions Codes of Conduct and
the IET Rules of Conduct and your obligation to
remain professionally competent through CPD.

56Civil Engineering Practice Engineering Success
by Analysis of Failure by Piesold, David D. A.
- Sets out to describe why unexpected happenings
occurred, despite engineers observing the correct
theories and practices. - The book goes on, with the help of case studies,
to point out extra safeguards and precautions
that may be taken, using a combination of project
design and construction analysis. - This reference provides an analysis of civil
engineering failures, from the benefit of using
hindsight. - David Piesold describes why many unexpected
happenings have occurred, despite engineers
keeping to the accepted methods of calculation
and construction.
57Civil Engineering Practice Engineering Success
by Analysis of Failure by Piesold, David D. A.
- Piesold illustrates through international case
studies, how adverse consequences can be avoided
by a process of project design and/or
construction analysis before implementation. - The book also includes the latest technical
advances in current civil engineering practice
that help to avoid engineering failure. These
include state-of-the-art technology in
deep-seated anchor methods of disposal of
environmentally unacceptable particulate waste.
