Engineers whose work may affect the safety of the public are required to become Professional Engineer.  To a client, it means you've got the credentials to earn their trust.  To an employer, it signals your ability to take on a higher level of responsibility. Among your colleagues, it demands respect.  To yourself, it's a symbol of pride and measure of your own hard-won achievement. Requirements to become a PE: 1. have a degree from an ABET accredited engineering program 2. pass the Fundamental of Engineering exam (FE) 3. gain four (4) years of relevant engineering work experience 4. pass the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam Slides Prepared by Dr. Asma Khelil SP24 50 What makes a PE different from an engineer? PEs must also continuously demonstrate their competency and maintain and improve their skills by fulfilling continuing education requirements. Only a licensed engineer may prepare, sign and seal, and submit engineering plans and drawings to a public authority for approval, or seal engineering work for public and private clients. PEs shoulder the responsibility for not only their work, but also for the lives affected by that work and must hold themselves to high ethical standards of practice. Slides Prepared by Dr. Asma Khelil SP24 51 Become a registered engineer in Qatar The Urban Planning and Development Authority in Qatar requires registration for engineers who work in the private sectors. Requirements to become a registered engineer: Qatari Citizenship or a Permanent Resident Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering Full civil authority Clean judicial history Pass the Qualifying Exam Slides Prepared by Dr. Asma Khelil SP24 52 What is the difference? The main difference between science and engineering is that science is about understanding the natural world and discovering new knowledge. Engineering is about applying that knowledge to create products, systems, and structures that solve real-world problems. Science is about discovery, while engineering is about application. Slides Prepared by Dr. Asma Khelil SP24 53 What is the difference? Science is about understanding the natural world and discovering new knowledge. Engineering is about applying that knowledge to create practical solutions. Science and engineering are interrelated and depend on each other.
