program must: (1) lead to a bachelor's degree in a school of
engineering with at least one program accredited by ABET; or (2)
include differential and integral calculus and courses (more
advanced than first-year physics and chemistry) in five of the
following seven areas of engineering science or physics: (a)
statics, dynamics; (b) strength of materials (stress-strain
relationships); (c) fluid mechanics, hydraulics; (d)
thermodynamics; (e) electrical fields and circuits; (f) nature and
properties of materials (relating particle and aggregate structure
to properties); and (g) any other comparable area of fundamental

mechanics, or electronics.
OR
COMBINATION OF EXPERIENCE AND EDUCATION: You may qualify by a
combination of experience and education. Options for qualifying
based on a combination will be identified in the online questions.
Combination of education and experience that includes college-level
education, training, and/or technical experience that furnished (1)
a thorough knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences
underlying engineering, and (2) a good understanding, both
theoretical and practical, of the engineering sciences and
techniques and their applications to one of the branches of
engineering. The adequacy of such background must be demonstrated
by one of the following: 1. Professional registration or licensure
-- Current registration as an Engineer Intern (EI), Engineer in

of their registration. For example, an applicant who attains
registration through a State Board's eminence provision as a
manufacturing engineer typically would be rated eligible only for
