To qualify for a Supervisory General Engineer position your resume and supporting documentation must support both A and B below:
A. Basic Requirement:
- A Bachelors Degree or higher in professional engineering. To be acceptable the program must:
- (1) be in a school of engineering with at least one program accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) as a professional engineering curriculum; 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
- A 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 professional 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:
- Professional Registration or Licensure -- Current registration as an Engineer Intern (EI) Engineer in Training (EIT) or licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) by any State the District of Columbia Guam or Puerto Rico.

For example an applicant who attains registration through a State Boards eminence provision as a manufacturing engineer typically would be rated eligible only for manufacturing engineering positions.
- Written Test -- Evidence of having successfully passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination or any other written test required for professional registration by an engineering licensure board in the various States the District of Columbia Guam and Puerto Rico.
- Specified academic courses -- Successful completion of at least 60 semester hours of courses in the physical mathematical and engineering sciences and in engineering that included the courses specified in the Basic Requirements above. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of a professional engineering curriculum as described in the Basic Requirements above.
- Related curriculum -- Successful completion of a curriculum leading to a bachelors degree in an appropriate scientific field e.g. engineering technology physics chemistry architecture computer science mathematics hydrology or geology may be accepted in lieu of a bachelors degree in engineering provided the applicant has had at least 1 year of professional engineering experience acquired under professional engineering supervision and guidance. Ordinarily there should be either an established plan of intensive training to develop professional engineering competence or several years of prior professional engineering-type experience e.g. in interdisciplinary positions.
- Experience with providing direction maintaining ethical standards and leading teams in executing complex contract management and operational responsibilities in a high-accountability Department of War (DoW) environment.
- Directing and providing technical advice and guidance to engineering professionals; monitoring complex engineering processes.
- Providing oversight to engineering personnel performing engineering process reviews product examinations and production contract surveillance.
