To be acceptable, the curriculum must be:
(1) in a school of engineering with at least one curriculum accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) as a professional engineering curriculum or (2) include differential and integral calculus and courses more advanced than first-year physics and chemistry in five of the following seven areas of engineering science or physics: statics, dynamics; strength of materials (stress-strain relationships); electrical fields and circuits; nature and properties of materials (relating particle and aggregate structure to properties); and any other comparable area of fundamental engineering science or physics, such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics. Combination of education and experience college-level education, training, and/or technical experience that furnished (1) a thorough knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences underlying professional engineering, and (2) a good understanding, both theoretical and practical, of the engineering sciences and techniques and their applications to one of the branches of engineering. Professional registration Current registration as a professional engineer by any State, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico. Absent other means of qualifying under this standard, those who achieved such registration by means other than written test (e.g., State grandfather or eminence provisions) are eligible only for positions that are within or closely related to the specialty field of their registration. For example, an applicant who attains registration through a State Board's eminence provision as a manufacturing engineer typically would be rated eligible only for manufacturing engineering positions. Written Test Evidence of having successfully passed the Engineer-in-Training (EIT) examination, or the written test required for professional registration, which is administered by the Boards of Engineering Examiners in the various States, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico. Applicants who have passed the EIT examination and have completed all the requirements for either (a) a bachelor's degree in engineering technology (BET) from an accredited college or university that included 60 semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences, or (b) a BET from a program accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) may be rated eligible for certain engineering positions at GS-7. Eligibility is limited to positions that are within or closely related to the specialty field of the engineering technology program. Because of the diversity in kind and quality of BET programs, graduates of other BET programs are required to complete at least 1 year of additional education or highly technical work experience of such nature as to provide reasonable assurance of the possession of the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for professional engineering competence. Specified academic courses Successful completion of at least 60 semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences and in engineering that included the courses specified in the basic requirements. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of a professional engineering curriculum as described in paragraph A. d. Related curriculum Successful completion of a curriculum leading to a bachelor's degree in engineering technology or in an appropriate professional field, e.g., physics, chemistry, architecture, computer science, mathematics, hydrology, or geology, may be accepted in lieu of a degree in engineering, provided the applicant has had at least 1 year of professional engineering experience acquired under professional engineering supervision and guidance. Ordinarily there should be either an established plan of intensive training to develop professional engineering competence, or several years of prior professional engineering-type experience, e.g., To qualify at the GS-07 level, applicants must possess one year of specialized experience - must be equivalent to the GS-05 level or equivalent under other pay systems in the Federal service, military or private sector. To qualify at the GS-09 level, applicants must possess one year of specialized experience - must be equivalent to the GS-07 level or equivalent under other pay systems in the Federal service, military or private sector. To qualify at the GS-11 level, applicants must possess one year of specialized experience - must be equivalent to the GS-09 level or equivalent under other pay systems in the Federal service, military, or private sector. To qualify at the GS-12 level, applicants must possess one year of specialized experience must be equivalent to the GS-11 level or equivalent under other pay systems in the Federal service, military, or private sector. Applicants must meet eligibility requirements including minimum qualifications and any other regulatory requirements by the cut-off/closing date of the announcement. Assisting higher graded engineers in evaluating engineering drawings, blueprints and specifications
~ Assisting in a portion of a larger engineering project GS-09:
~ Analyzing technical engineering problems
~ Performing and execute specific portions of engineering projects
~ Conducting studies and analyses of specific issues or specialty areas within an engineering discipline
~ Assisting in the research of engineering issues on a wide variety of mechanical and/or electronic items GS-11:

~ Experience analyzing material properties and/or electronic designs to ensure that mechanical devices and/or electronic controls and systems function safely, reliably, efficiently, and economically
~ Analyzing and evaluating engineering change proposals (Continued under Education)

Education GS-12:
~ Serving as a project manager on engineering / value management documentation projects
~ Performing extensive design, manufacturing analysis
~ Direct experience with testing and evaluation of a variety of mechanical and/or electronic components
~ Applying knowledge of the concepts and practices associated with all aspects of the technical design and development process utilizing drawings of mechanical and/or electronic components
~ Applying scientific principles, theories, methods, and processes used to conduct a systematic and objective inquiry, including collection, analysis, and interpretation of data, and reporting of results
~ Applying an understanding of the principles, methods, and tools of quality assurance, quality control, process improvement, and reliability used to ensure that a mechanical and/or electronic component, project, or system meets technical requirements and standards. GS-07: One year of graduate-level education or superior academic achievement. GS-09: Two years of progressively higher level graduate education leading to a master's degree or master's or equivalent graduate degree. Three years of progressively higher level graduate education leading to a Ph.

Only graduate education in excess of the amount required for the next lower grade level may be used to qualify applicants for positions at grade GS-07, GS-09 and GS-11.

Additional Experience and Training Provisions for Graduates of Engineering Programs:
a) Superior academic achievement at the baccalaureate level in an engineering program is qualifying for GS-7; b) A combination of superior academic achievement and 1 year of appropriate professional experience is qualifying at GS-9;
