IOR: refers to paid and unpaid experience including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g. professional philanthropic religious spiritual community student social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies knowledge and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment.
Education
Substitution of education for experience:
For GS-07:
1 year of graduate-level education or a bachelors degree with superior academic achievement.
For GS-09:
2 years of progressively higher level graduate education leading to a masters degree or masters or equivalent graduate degree.
Basic requirements for all grades:
A. Degree: Engineering. To be acceptable the program must:
(1) lead to a bachelors degree in a school of engineering with at least one program accredited by 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.
OR
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)1 or licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) by any State the District of Columbia Guam or Puerto Rico.
