Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements

Certification or Licensing

The Society of Manufacturing Engineers offers the certified manufacturing engineer credential to mechanical engineers who work in manufacturing and who meet education and experience requirements. Other engineering and technical associations also provide certification.

Engineers with the professional engineer (PE) license show employers they have achieved a high level of knowledge and competency, and are able to secure positions of higher responsibility. To achieve the PE designation, engineers must graduate from an accredited engineering program, pass the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, work full time for four years with a professional engineer, and pass the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam. Details can be found on the National Society of Professional Engineers Web site, https://www.nspe.org/resources/licensure/what-pe.
