OR B. Combinion of educion and experience

• college-level educion, training, and/or technical experience th furnished (1) a thorough knowledge of the physical and mhemical sciences underlying engineering, and (2) a good understanding, both theoretical and practical, of the engineering sciences and techniques and their applicions to one of the branches of engineering.

The adequacy of such background must be demonstred by one of the following: 1. Professional registrion or licensure

• Current registrion as an Engineer Intern (EI), Engineer in Training (EIT)1, or licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) by any Ste, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico.

Absent other means of qualifying under this standard, those applicants who achieved such registrion by means other than written test (e.g., Ste grandfher or eminence provisions) are eligible only for positions th are within or closely reled to the specialty field of their registrion. For example, an applicant who tains registrion through a Ste Board's eminence provision as a manufacturing engineer typically would be red eligible only for manufacturing engineering positions. 2. Written Test

• Evidence of having successfully passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE)2 examinion or any other written test required for professional registrion by an engineering licensure board in the various Stes, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico. 3. Specified academic courses

The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of an engineering program as described in paragraph A. 4. Reled curriculum
• Successful completion of a curriculum leading to a bachelor's degree in an approprie scientific field, e.

g., engineering technology, physics, chemistry, architecture, computer science, mhemics, hydrology, or geology, may be accepted in lieu of a bachelor's degree in engineering, provided the applicant has had least 1 year of professional engineering experience acquired under professional engineering supervision and guidance. Ordinarily there should be either an established plan of intensive training to develop professional engineering competence, or several years of prior professional engineering-type experience, e.g., in interdisciplinary positions. (The above examples of reled curricula are not all-inclusive).
