Demystifying Professional Engineering Licensure and How to Put it to Work for you

Professional engineering licensure is the mark of a professional. It's a standard recognized by employers and their clients, by governments and by the public as an assurance of dedication, skill and quality.  There are many powerful reasons both professional and personal for earning and maintaining a PE license. As engineering increasingly becomes a profession that crosses international borders, a number of organizations have initiated efforts to not only facilitate the flow of engineers and projects but also to ensure rigorous standards of competence and professionalism.  Groups in the US are no exception. Their work is helping to provide global citizens access to the US licensure system. In addition, initiatives and partnerships benefit domestic PEs whose qualifications become better recognized overseas. That enhances the ability of US professional engineers to work internationally.  This month's speakers will review state licensing requirements (including licensure exemptions), discuss professional practice issues and, drawing upon their experience, explore ways in which they have successfully leveraged engineering licensure throughout their careers.
