What is a Professional Engineer?
A Professional Engineer (PE) is a licensed expert who has met stringent educational, experience, and examination standards set by national licensing boards (e.g., NCEES in the U.S., EC in the U.K., or EBK in Kenya). This credential allows engineers to legally approve plans, oversee public works, and certify designs for safety and compliance.
Key responsibilities include:
-
Approving structural, civil, electrical, and mechanical drawings
-
Providing engineering sign-off for permits and regulatory submissions
-
Overseeing technical project execution and quality assurance
-
Conducting structural calculations, environmental impact analyses, and load testing
-
Designing systems according to industry codes (e.g., ASCE, IEEE, ISO, NFPA)
