An Engineering Professional is a technical expert who applies engineering principles (to create technical solutions for practical problems through systematic design, development, and implementation processes).
- AKA: Professional Engineer, Licensed Engineer, Engineering Practitioner, Technical Professional.
- Context:
- It can typically complete a Bachelor Degree in engineering discipline.
- It can typically pass an Engineering Admittance Examination.
- It can typically acquire Professional License through board certification.
- It can typically gain Practical Experience through supervised practice.
- It can typically demonstrate Technical Expertise in specialized field.
- ...
- It can often invent Technical Solutions through creative design.
- It can often analyze Complex Systems through engineering methods.
- It can often develop Physical Structures through construction process.
- It can often link Scientific Discovery to practical application.
- It can often ensure Engineering Safety through risk management.
- ...
- It can range from being a Lay Engineer to being a Professional Engineer, depending on its certification level.
- It can range from being a Junior Engineer to being a Senior Engineer, depending on its experience level.
- It can range from being a Design Engineer to being a Project Engineer, depending on its role focus.
- It can range from being a Specialized Engineer to being a Systems Engineer, depending on its scope breadth.
- It can range from being a Technical Engineer to being a Management Engineer, depending on its career path.
- ...
- It can maintain Professional Development through continuous learning.
- It can follow Code of Ethics through professional conduct.
- It can ensure Safety Requirements through risk management.
- It can maintain Cost Control through budget management.
- It can ensure Environmental Responsibility through sustainable practices.
- It can demonstrate Professional Integrity through ethical decisions.
- ...
- Examples:
- Classical Engineering Disciplines, such as:
- Modern Engineering Disciplines, such as:
- Emerging Field Engineers, such as:
- ...
- Counter-Examples:
- Engineering Technician, who executes rather than designs technical solutions.
- Engineering Student, who is still acquiring professional qualifications.
- Operator, who executes rather than designs technical processes.
- Architect, who focuses on aesthetic design rather than technical implementation.
- Medical Practitioner, who treats patients rather than designs systems.
- Scientist, who discovers natural laws rather than applies them to practical solutions.
- Engineering Manager, who manages rather than practices engineering work.

- Engineers, as practitioners of engineering, are professionals who invent, design, analyze, build and test machines, complex systems, structures, gadgets and materials to fulfill functional objectives and requirements while considering the limitations imposed by practicality, regulation, safety and cost.[1] [2] The word engineer (Latin , the origin of the Ir. in the title of engineer in countries like Belgium and The Netherlands) is derived from the Latin words ("to contrive, devise") and ("cleverness"). [3] [4] The foundational qualifications of a licensed professional engineer typically include a four-year bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline, or in some jurisdictions, a master's degree in an engineering discipline plus four to six years of peer-reviewed professional practice (culminating in a project report or thesis) and passage of engineering board examinations.
The work of engineers forms the link between scientific discoveries and their subsequent applications to human and business needs and quality of life.[1]
