REQUIRED ENGINEERING CRITERIA: For placement of a candidate in the Engineer job series, the following criteria must be met: Possess a 4-year Engineering degree from an ABET accredited Engineering program based on the year that the Engineering program was accredited by ABET, or Possess a 4-year Engineering degree from an institution outside of the U.S. which is accredited through the country's own Engineering accrediting body under the Washington Accord as a full signatory, and is a degree that was recognized by the country's accrediting body on or after the date that full signatory status was achieved, or Possess a 4-year degree in Engineering (non-ABET accredited), Physics, Chemistry, Math or Engineering Technology and a post-graduate Engineering degree from an institution where the undergraduate degree in the same Engineering discipline is ABET-accredited based on the year the Engineering program was accredited by ABET, or Holds or has previously held a valid U.S. Professional Engineer license. Education Requirements: BS Degree (or higher) in Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Materials Engineering, or Materials Science from ABET Accredited engineering program . Applicants who hold a BS degree in a related technical field may be considered as a "Welding Engineering Technical Specialist" . The E ngineering Technical Specialist job series is differentiated from the Engineer in that the technical specialist does not hold an ABET accredited Engineering degree but does hold a technical degree and/or the required engineering experience necessary to meet the job requirements. Required Licenses, Certifications, or Quals: Depending on functional responsibilities and location of position must review ANS 3.1 12/79, ANSI N18.1-1971 or ANSI/ANS 3.1-1993 and DOM-QA-1 as appropriate.
