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). Basic Requirement for Civil Engineer: A. Degree: Bachelor's degree (or higher degree) in engineering. To be acceptable, the program must: (1) lead to a bachelor's degree (or higher degree) in a school of engineering with at least one program accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET); 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: (a) statics, dynamics; (b) strength of materials (stress-strain relationships); (c) fluid mechanics, hydraulics; (d) thermodynamics; (e) electrical fields and circuits; (f) nature and properties of materials (relating particle and aggregate structure to properties); and (g) any other comparable area of fundamental engineering science or physics, such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics. (NOTE: You MUST attach a copy of your transcripts.)

B. 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 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. The adequacy of such background must be demonstrated by one of the following: 1. Professional registration or licensure - Current registration as an Engineer Intern (EI), Engineer in Training (EIT), or licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) 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. 2. Written Test - Evidence of having successfully passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination, or any other written test required for professional registration, by an engineering licensure board in the various States, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico. 3. Specified academic courses - Successful completion of at least 60 semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences and that included the courses specified in A above. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of an engineering program. 4. Related curriculum - Successful completion of 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, 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., in interdisciplinary positions. For GS-05: Successfully completed [or will complete by September 2019] a full 4-year course of study in an accredited college or university leading to a professional engineering degree. (NOTE: You MUST attach a copy of your transcripts.) SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE GS-07: One year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-05 grade level in the Federal service which includes: 1) Perform routine or minor phases project applying civil engineering concepts, principles, standard engineering practices, methods, and techniques. AND 2) Prepare minor routine design and drafting assignments utilizing computer aided design and drafting (CADD) programs or similar software or education substitution below. This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the second lower grade/level position in the federal service (GS-05). SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE GS-09: One year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-07 grade level in the Federal service which includes: 1) Using computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) or related software to prepare/review designs. 2) Assisting higher level engineers with technical calculations and design analysis. AND 3) Assisting engineers with facilities inspections. Or education substitution below. This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the second lower grade/level position in the federal service (GS-07). SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE GS-11: One year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-09 grade level in the Federal service which includes:1) Prepare portions of conventional structural engineering plans, designs, and/or design specifications. 2) Using computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) or related software to prepare/review designs. AND 3) Provide support to engineers with facilities inspections. Or education substitution below. This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the second lower grade/level position in the federal service (GS-09). You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience. Your resume must clearly describe your relevant education and experience.
