The method of determining the number of semester hours required to constitute a major field of study is the same as described in paragraph A.

Applicants who have passed the EIT examination and have completed all the requirements for either (a) a bachelors degree in engineering technology (BET) from an accredited college of university that included 60 semester hours of courses in the physical mathematical and engineering sciences or (b) a BET from a program accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) may be rated eligible for certain engineering positions at GS-5. Eligibility is limited to positions that are within or closely related to the specialty field of the engineering technology program. Applicants for positions that involve highly technical research development or similar functions requiring an advanced level of competence in basic science must meet the basic requirements in paragraph A

Because of the diversity in kind and quality of BET programs graduates of other BET programs are required to complete at least 1 year of additional education or highly technical work experience of such nature as to provide reasonable assurance of the possession of the knowledge skills and abilities required for professional engineering competence. The adequacy of this background must be demonstrated by passing the EIT examination

SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE:

must have 1-year equivalent to at least next lower grade level experience education or training for management supervision or performance of (1) planning designing construction and/or maintaining structures and facilities; and (2) investigating measuring surveying and mapping the earths physical features.
