Education

Applicants must meet the following positive education qualifications requirements of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Qualifications Standards Manual:

For The 0801 Professional Engineering Series

• Degree: Engineering. To be acceptable, the 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 engineering science or physics, such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics.
  
  

OR

• Combination of education and experience -- 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

• Professional registration or licensure -- Current registration as an Engineer Intern
  
  

(EI), Engineer in Training (EIT)1, or licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) by any

State, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico. Absent other means of

qualifying under this standard, those applicants who achieved such registration by

means other than written test (e.g., State grandfather or eminence provisions) are eligible only for positions that are within or closely related to the specialty field 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 manufacturing engineering positions.

• Written Test -- Evidence of having successfully passed the Fundamentals of
  
  

Engineering (FE)2 examination or any other written test required for professional registration by an engineering licensure board in the various States, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
