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. (Note: You must attach a copy of your transcripts, AND proof of registration as an Engineer Intern (EI) or Engineer in Training (EIT) or copy of your Professional Engineer (PE) license.)
OR
A combination of education and experience that furnished (1) a thorough knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences underlying 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.

A combination of education and experience that furnished (1) a thorough knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences underlying 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. I have successfully completed a curriculum leading to a bachelor's degree in an appropriate scientific field, e.g., engineering technology, physics, chemistry, architecture, computer science, mathematics, hydrology, or geology, and have 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., in interdisciplinary positions. (The above examples of related curricula are not all-inclusive.)
Must possess and maintain a Professional Engineering (PE) License required. (NOTE: Must attach a copy of the Professional Engineering License to application package).
To qualify at the GS-14 grade level, you must have:
Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience which includes providing extensive technical knowledge in civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, engineering; maintaining administrative/managerial responsibility for planning, managing, and coordinating engineering activities; overseeing continuing evaluation and inspection programs, initiating, formulating, and implementing policies and procedures to ensure that all work and designs conform to policies, requirements, and objectives, and are of the highest engineering caliber. This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the next lower grade/level position in the federal service (GS-13).
