5. “What is a Profession” Requires specialized and highly skilled knowledge. Requires academic training. Is regulated by professional bodies. Examination of competence Function of professional work is vital to society. Professionals enjoy high social status Compensation is higher than other occupations Professionals must perform under a standard of professional behavior that requires adherence to the highest principles of legal and ethical conduct2.

6. The Engineering ProfessionTraining, 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 EE ………………… Comp.E Chem E. ……………….. Materials E All 50 states require licensure for engineers who offer their services directly to the public.2

7. Engineer In Training (ET)2 Engineering Fundamentals Exam Senior in, or Graduate of, an ABET accredited program 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 The Engineering ProfessionTraining, Qualifications, Advancements, Licensure (cont.)

8. Q1 All 50 states require licensure for engineers who: • Work for the government. • Work for the food industry. • Offer their services directly to the public. • Do not have a degree from an ABET accredited program.

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

10. What Engineering Work Have We Done in E10? • Training: – Excel, Inventor 2008, Statics, Aerodynamics, Strength of materials, Communication. • Design: – Turbine, Support structure.
