The adequacy of such background must be demonstrated by one of the following:
- Professional Registration or Licensure: Current registration as an Engineer Intern, Engineer in Training, or licensure as a Professional Engineer by any State, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico. Absent other means of qualifying under this standard, those applicants 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 Fundamentals of Engineering examination or any other written test required for professional registration by an engineering licensure board in the various States, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
- 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 paragraph A.
- 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 an established plan of intensive training to develop professional engineering competence, or several years of professional engineering-type experience (e.g., interdisciplinary positions).
- GS-07: Collecting technical information; 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: Demonstrating knowledge of engineering concepts, principles and practices; Demonstrating the ability to analyze and study engineering and technical performance requirements for reliability, maintainability; Demonstrating the ability to analyze and review test requirements; Experience involving the design, development, operation, maintenance, and disposal of mechanical and/or electronic devices and systems and their equipment and/or components; 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.
- 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.

Education
D. Combination: Combinations of successfully completed post-high school education and experience may be used to meet total qualification requirements for grade levels GS-07, GS-09 and GS-11 and may be computed by first determining the applicants total qualifying experience as a percentage of the experience required for the grade level; then determining the applicant's education as a percentage of the education required for the grade level; and then adding the two percentages. The total percentages must equal at least 100 percent to qualify an applicant for that grade level. Only graduate education in excess of the amount required for the next lower grade level may be used to qualify applicants for positions at grades GS-07, GS-09 and GS-11.
E. 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; c) Applicants with an engineering bachelor's degree who have appropriate experience as a technician equivalent to grade GS-7 or higher may have such experience credited for grade GS-9 only on a month-for-month basis up to a maximum of 12 months; d) Successful completion of a 5-year program of study of at least 160 semester hours leading to a bachelor's degree in engineering is qualifying at GS-7. Completion of such a program and 1 year of appropriate professional experience is qualifying at grade GS-9.
Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community, student, social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience.
Are you using your education to qualify? You MUST provide transcripts or other documentation to support your educational claims. Unless otherwise stated: Unofficial transcripts are acceptable at time of application.
GRADUATE EDUCATION: One academic year of graduate education is considered to be the number of credits hours that your graduate school has determined to represent one academic year of full-time study. Such study may have been performed on a full-time or part-time basis. If you cannot obtain your graduate school's definition of one year of graduate study, 18 semester hours (or 27 quarter hours) should be considered as satisfying the requirement for one year of full-time graduate study.
FOREIGN EDUCATION: If you are using education completed in foreign colleges or universities to meet the qualification requirements, you must show that the education credentials have been evaluated by a private organization that specializes in interpretation of foreign education programs and such education has been deemed equivalent to that gained in an accredited U.S. education program; or full credit has been given for the courses at a U.S. accredited college or university.
