3 Questions and Decisions a. Do I want to become an engineer? b. Which major do I select? c. Which specialization do I follow? d. Which job classification do I select? e. Where do I want to work? Type of industry Geographic location Office environment f. Do I want to go into Engineering management? g. Can I apply my BS in Engineering in other fields?

4 “ What is a Profession” 1 1. Requires specialized and highly skilled knowledge. 2. Requires academic training. 3. Is regulated by professional bodies. 4. Requires examination of competence. 5. Function of professional work is vital to society. 6. Professionals enjoy higher social status. 7. Compensation is higher than other occupations 8. Professionals must perform under a standard of professional behavior that requires adherence to the highest principles of legal and ethical conduct Requires Continuing education to keep current with rapidly changing technology.

5 The Engineering Profession Training, Qualifications, Advancements, Licensure  BS is required for all entry level engineering Jobs.  Engineers trained in one field, may also work in a related field of engineering: Aero E ME Aero E ME EE Comp.E EE Comp.E Chem E. Materials E Chem E. Materials E All 50 states require licensure for engineers who offer their services directly to the public. 2

6 The Engineering Profession Training, Qualifications, Advancements, Licensure A. Engineer In Training (ET) 2  Engineering Fundamentals Exam  Senior in, or Graduate of, an ABET accredited program B. Professional Engineer (PE ) 2  BS-ABET  Have passed, or be waived of, the ET  4-Years Work experience  Exam by NCEES Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Principles and Practice of Engineering

7 FE exam The FE exam is typically the first step in the process leading to the P.E. license. It is designed for students who are close to finishing an undergraduate engineering degree. The FE exam contains 180 multiple-choice questions and is split into a morning session (120 questions) and an afternoon session (60 questions). You will be provided an FE Supplied-Reference Handbook on exam day. The exam lasts eight hours and is administered in April and October.FE Supplied-Reference Handbook …….. Chemical Civil Electrical Environmental Industrial Mechanical Other Disciplines

8 Engineering -The Profession  Whether the end result is a product, a process or service, engineers need to consider safety, reliability, cost-effectiveness. 6  Engineering is a career based on logical, systematic problem solving, generally in high-tech, industrial, or scientific fields.

9 What Engineers Do? (a review) 4 1. Design products. 2. Design machinery to build and test these products. 3. Design Plants in which those products are made. 4. Design the systems that ensure the quality and efficiency of the manufacturing process. 5. Design, plan and supervise the construction of buildings, highways, transit systems. 6. Develop and implement ways to extract, process and use raw materials such as petroleum and natural gas. 7. Harness the power of the sun, and wind to satisfy the nations power needs.
