State Boards of Professional Engineering

State Boards of Professional Engineering are regulatory bodies in the United States that oversee the practice of engineering. They ensure that engineers meet necessary education, experience, and ethical standards to protect public safety and welfare. Each state has its own board, which licenses professional engineers (PEs) and enforces rules and regulations governing the profession. To become a PE, individuals must typically pass exams and demonstrate their competence. These boards also handle complaints against engineers, ensuring accountability within the profession. Their primary aim is to maintain high standards in engineering practices.
