• Specialized Experience: One year of experience directing multi‑disciplinary facilities engineering projects from initial design through final technical review; delivering comprehensive engineering and financial advisory services for facility construction and repair projects; and directing the operational performance and output of engineering and technical personnel. This experience must be at the next lower grade/level (GS‑12) and cannot be substituted with education.

Education

Basic Education Requirement – Engineers

• Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in engineering from a program accredited by ABET, **or** a program that includes differential and integral calculus and advanced courses in at least five of the following areas: statics/dynamics; strength of materials; fluid mechanics/hydraulics; thermodynamics; electrical fields and circuits; material properties; and any comparable area such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics. (Transcripts must be attached.)
• Combination of education and experience may be used if the applicant demonstrates:
  • Professional registration or licensure – current registration as an Engineer Intern (EI), Engineer in Training (EIT), or licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) in any State, D.C., Guam, or Puerto Rico; or
  • Successful completion of the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam or other required written test; or
  • At least 60 semester hours of acceptable engineering courses; or
  • Related curriculum (e.g., engineering technology, physics, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, hydrology, geology) with at least one year of professional engineering experience under supervision.

Basic Education Requirement – Architects

• Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in architecture or a related field that includes 60 semester hours of coursework, with at least 30 semester hours in architectural design and 6 semester hours each in structural technology, material properties and construction methods, and environmental control systems.
• Combination of education and experience may be used if the applicant demonstrates:
  • Related curriculum – degree in architectural engineering providing knowledge equivalent to the required courses; or
  • Experience – one year of experience in an architect’s office for each year short of graduation, or five years of experience if no college coursework is present.

Foreign education must be evaluated by a recognized credential evaluation service and deemed equivalent to an accredited U.S. program.
