NEW ZEALAND PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER
The Institution of Professional
Engineers New Zealand (IPENZ) represents engineers from all disciplines, aiming
to promote and advance the profession and serve the wider community.
Registration
IPENZ operates national registers that
recognise engineers in three broad groups – Professional Engineers, Engineering
Technologists and Engineering Technicians. It also runs the national register
for Engineering Geologists.
Professional
Engineer – works on complex engineering matters.
Engineering
Technologist – works on broadly-defined engineering matters.
Engineering
Technician – works on well-defined engineering matters.
Engineering
Geologist – works on complex engineering geological matters.
IPENZ's
role as Registration Authority – IPENZ's administration of the Chartered
Professional Engineers register.
Asia Pacific
Economic Cooperation (APEC Engineer)
Introduction
There is an agreement in place between a number of APEC countries for
the purposes of recognising “substantial equivalence” of professional
competence in engineering. APEC countries can apply to become members of the
agreement by demonstrating that they have in place systems which allow the
competence of engineers to be assessed to the agreed international standard set
by the APEC Engineer agreement.
Benefits
Registration on the IPER register with APEC Engineer ensures that professional
engineers have the opportunity to have their professional standing recognised
within the APEC region thereby contributing to the globalisation of
professional engineering services. This is of particular benefit to engineering
firms that are providing services to other APEC economies but it also adds
value to individuals who may wish, at some stage, to work in these economies.
Each member economy of the APEC agreement has given an undertaking that the
extra assessment required to be registered on the local professional
engineering register will be minimised for those registered under the APEC
Engineer agreement.
The SPEA is
an association of the bodies which represent engineers within countries in the
Pacific Island Forum geographical region. In some countries, there is a formal
body, and that body is regarded as the national chapter of SPEA. In other
countries there are too few engineers to form a formal body, so the national
chapter is informally constituted.
Each
national chapter has a representative on the Council of SPEA, and the Council
elects a President of the Association. The Council meets at least twice per
year. The costs of doing so are met by national chapter subscriptions. At each
meeting of the Council a forward-looking work programme is developed.
The
Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand (IPENZ) provides both
financial and technical support to SPEA, although it is not a member and does
not have a representative on the Council. Engineers Australia is also
supportive of SPEA

experience and commitment of professionally registered engineers and
technicians.
SOCIETY OF PROFESSIONAL
ENGINEERS (UK)
Professional
Engineer-PEng (UK) Registration
http://www.professionalengineers-uk.org
The Society of Professional Engineers
(SPE) was established the United Kingdom in 1969, to promote the interests of
skilled engineers in all the main branches of Engineering.
The
main objective of the Society is to enhance the status of trained and
experienced professional engineers in the absence in the UK of any legal
protection for the title"Engineer". The founding members believed that
this was necessary, as "Engineer" can be used by anyone in the UK,
whether or not trained or experienced. This remains a priority for the Society.
The
Society created and maintains a Register of Engineers who can demonstrate
knowledge and competence in engineering. Applicants who meet the Society's
criteria for membership may use the designation "P.Eng"..
the
Society of Professional Engineers traces its origins to the Society of
Engineers, which was founded in 1854 as a learned society.[1] On 27 October, 1969, a number of the
Society of Engineers' Corporate members formed the Society of Professional
Engineers. (The original Society of Engineers was integrated in 2005 into the Institution
of Incorporated Engineers, itself merging with the Institution
of Electrical Engineers in
2006 to form the Institution
of Engineering and Technology, the biggest professional engineering
body in Europe).
The
Society is a Company Limited by Guarantee, registered in England, and its
Memorandum and Articles of Association were approved by the UK Government's
former Department of Trade and Industry, now Department
for Business, Innovation and Skills. Its legal objects are:[2]
·
To promote the high standards of expertise and professionalism
in the practise of engineering, for the benefit of those members of the general
public who have need to avail themselves of the services of engineers.
·
To promote the development of inventions and improvements in the
practise of engineering and to disseminate information on matters affecting the
practise of engineering so as to bring the results of research and
considerations of good practise into the public domain.
·
To promote improvements in the laws relating to matters of
engineering practise so that members of the public may be better able to rely
on the highest standards of advice and practise in those who purport to be
professional engineers.
The
Society keeps a register of persons who subscribe to the Society and who, in
the eyes of the Society, 'have proved their competence and can be accurately
described as Professional Engineers', awarding them the 'PEng MSPE' (member) or
'PEng FSPE' (fellow) designation according to qualifications and experience[3]
The
SPEng (or SPE) has signed a Mutual Agreement with the Société Nationale des Ingénieurs
Professionnels de France (SNIPF)[4][5][6][7] SNIPF is a French Professional Engineering
body recognised by the European Commission for issuing certificates of
competence to French Professional Engineers.
In the United States, registration or licensure of professional engineers and
engineering practice is governed by the individual states. Each registration or
license is valid only in the state where it is granted. Therefore, many
professional engineers maintain licenses in more than one state., also known as
reciprocity, between states allows engineers who are licensed or registered in
one state to obtain a license in another state without meeting the ordinary
rigorous proof of qualification by testing. This is accomplished by the second
state recognizing the validity of the first state's licensing or registration
process.
Requirements for licensing vary, but generally are
as follows:
Graduate from an Accreditation
Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)-accredited four-year college or
university program with a degree in engineering (e.g., bachelor of engineering,
bachelor of science in engineering, master of science in engineering, master of
engineering) or, in some states, graduate from an ABET-accredited four-year
college or university program with a degree in engineering technology.
Complete a
standard Fundamentals
of Engineering (FE) written examination, which tests applicants on breadth
of understanding of basic engineering principles and, optionally, some elements
of an engineering speciality. Completion of the first two steps typically
qualifies applicants for certification in the U.S. as an engineer in training (EIT),
sometimes also called an engineer intern (EI).
Accumulate a
certain amount of engineering experience: in most states the requirement is
four years, but it is lower in some. For engineering technology graduates, the
required number of years may be higher.
Complete a written
Principles
and Practice in Engineering (PE) examination, which tests the applicant's
knowledge and skills in their chosen engineering discipline (civil, electrical,
industrial, mechanical, etc.), as well as engineering ethics.
For standardization, FE and PE exams are written
and graded by a central organization, the National
Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES). However, each
state's board of professional engineers individually sets the requirements to
take the exams, as well as the passing score. For example, applicants in some
states must provide professional references from several PEs before they can
take the PE exam. There is a fairly large range in exam pass rates for FE and
PE exams, but the pass rate for repeat test takers is significantly lower.[7]
All 50 states and the District of Columbia
have engineering boards that are represented on the NCEES, which administers
both the FE and PE examinations
In many states, practising
engineers are required by law to maintain a U.S. Professional Engineering
registration. With this registration, the engineer can:
·
Demonstrate competence in profession
·
Offer engineering services directly to the public
·
Serve as an expert credentialed witness
The registration and
examination process is handled by individual state board’s of registration and
the National Council of Examiners of Engineers and Surveyors.

Engineering Council of South Africa
The Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) is a statutory body
established in terms of the Engineering Profession Act (EPA), 46 of 2000. The
ECSA's primary role is the regulation of the engineering profession in terms of
this Act. Its core functions are the accreditation of engineering programmes,
registration of persons as professionals in specified categories, and the
regulation of the practice of registered persons.
Consequently, the ECSA is the only body in South Africa that is
authorised to register engineering professionals and bestow the use of
engineering titles, such as Pr Eng, Pr Tech Eng, Pr Techni Eng, Pr Cert Eng, on
persons who have met the requisite professional registration criteria.
European
Federation of National Engineering Associations (FEANI)
FEANI is a federation of
professional engineers that unites national engineering associations from 32
European countries. Thus, FEANI represents the interests of over 3,5 million
professional engineers in Europe.
FEANI is striving for a single
voice for the engineering profession in Europe and wants to affirm and develop
the professional identity of engineers.
Through its activities and
services, especially with the attribution of the EUR ING professional
title, FEANI aims to facilitate the mutual recognition of engineering
qualifications in Europe and to strengthen the position, role and
responsibility of engineers in society.
The General Secretariat of
FEANI, managing the activities of the federation, is located in Brussels since
late 1997.
Professional Engineer &
Engineering Technologists/ Technicians Registration in Canada
Professional Engineer- The Institution of Engineers Canada
The Canadian Council of Professional Engineers
(CCPE), operating with the business name of Engineers Canada, is the national organization of the 12
provincial and territorial associations that regulate the practice of engineering in Canada. Engineers Canada serves these
associations, which are its sole members, by delivering national programs for
standards of engineering education, professional qualifications and professional practice.
In addition to being the voice of its
constituent members in national and international affairs, Engineers Canada
coordinates the development of national policies, positions and guidelines on
behalf of the engineering profession. It also promotes greater understanding of
the nature, role and contribution of professional engineers and engineering to
society, and undertakes federal government relations and national media relations
on behalf of, and in consultation with, the provincial and territorial
associations.
In Canada the designation "professional
engineer" can only be used by licensed engineers and the practice of
engineering is protected in law and strictly enforced in all provinces. The
regulation and licensing of engineers
are accomplished through a self-governing body that is given the power to
license and discipline professional engineers, as well as regulate the practice
of the professional engineers in their province, such as Professional Engineers
Ontario. A self-governing body's prime purpose is to protect the public. An
engineering license and the award of the title "professional engineer"
grants the right to practice as a professional engineer. Many of these
associations are also responsible for regulating other related professions. The
process for registration is generally as follows:
Graduate with
a degree from an accredited program in engineering or applied science,
accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB).[citation needed]
Complete an
engineer-in-training (EIT) or engineering internship program under the direction
of a professional engineer. With the exception of Quebec, this is a minimum
four-year program.[16]
Review of
work experience by the association.
Pass a
professional practice exam,[17] the content and format of which
differs by province.
Professional engineers are not licensed in a
specific discipline but are bound by their respective provincial code of ethics
(e.g. in Ontario: Professional Engineers Act R.R.O. 1990, Regulation 941) from
practicing beyond their training and experience. Breaches of the code are often
sufficient grounds for enforcement measures, which may include the suspension
or loss of license, and financial penalties. It could also result in serving
time jail, should negligence be shown to have played a part in any incident
that causes loss of human life.
Engineers are not tested on technical knowledge
during the licensing process if their education was accredited by the CEAB.
Accreditation of schools and their accredited degree granting status are
monitored and controlled. This accreditation process is governed by Engineers Canada through their
active group CEAB.
The accreditation process is continuous and
enforced through regular accreditation reviews of each school. These reviews
typically include the review of the school's curriculum (including marked final
exams and assignments), interviews of current students, extracurricular
activities and teaching staff as well additional areas the visiting board may
feel need addressing. The specific areas considered are curriculum content,
program environment and general criteria. The associations are granted both an
exclusive right to title and an exclusive right to practice. There are only a
few exceptions specifically noted in the acts—which do not include any
"industrial exemptions." Therefore, a professional engineer is
legally required to be registered. The level of enforcement varies depending on
the specific industry. And, in some provinces, there is no requirement of
having graduated from an accredited Canadian university in order to be a
professional engineer.
The professional engineer's license is only valid
in the province of delivery. There are, however, agreements between the associations
to ease mobility. In 2009, professional engineers Ontario led an initiative to
develop a national engineering licensing framework
