Licensing of engineers

Engineering licensing is a formal certification that verifies an engineer has the necessary education, experience, and knowledge to practice safely and ethically. It ensures they meet industry standards and can take responsibility for their work. Typically, licensed engineers earn a credential called a Professional Engineer (PE) license, which involves passing exams and gaining relevant work experience. Licensing protects public safety and trust by ensuring engineers are qualified to design, analyze, and oversee projects like bridges, buildings, and infrastructure. It’s a regulated process that maintains professional integrity within the engineering field.
