Certification or Licensing
Certification, while not required, is available from professional associations. For example, the American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists offers the board certified environmental scientist designation for those who complete educational and experience requirements and pass an examination. The SME, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and other professional associations at the national and state levels provide certification. Scientists who obtain certification may receive higher salaries and improve their chances of landing a job.
