Engineering: A. Degree: Bachelor's degree (or higher degree) in
engineering. To be acceptable, the program must: (1) lead to a
bachelor's degree (or higher degree) in a school of engineering
with at least one program accredited by the Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology (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), or licensure as a
Professional Engineer (PE) by any State, the District of Columbia,
Guam, or Puerto Rico. Absent other means of qualifying under this
standard, those applicants who achieved such registration by means
other than written test (e.g., State grandfather or eminence
provisions) are eligible only for positions that are within or
closely related to the specialty field of their registration. For
example, an applicant who attains registration through a State
Board's eminence provision as a manufacturing engineer typically
would be rated eligible only for manufacturing engineering
positions.2. 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, or Puerto Rico.3. Specified academic courses -
Successful completion of at least 60 semester hours of courses in
the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences and that
included the courses specified in A above. The courses must be
fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of an engineering
program.4. Related Curriculum - Successful completion of a
curriculum leading to a bachelor's degree in engineering technology
or in an appropriate professional field, e.g., physics, chemistry,
architecture, computer science, mathematics, hydrology, or geology,
may be accepted in lieu of a degree in engineering, provided the
applicant has had at least 1 year of professional engineering
experience acquired under professional engineering supervision and
guidance.Basic Requirement for Operations Research Analyst: Degree:
in operations research; or at least 24 semester hours in a
combination of operations research, mathematics, probability,
statistics, mathematical logic, science, or subject-matter courses
requiring substantial competence in college-level mathematics or
statistics. At least 3 of the 24 semester hours must have been in
calculus.Basic Requirement for Physical Scientist: Degree: physical
science, engineering, or mathematics that included 24 semester
hours in physical science and/or related engineering science such
as mechanics, dynamics, properties of materials, and electronics.
orCombination of education and experience -- education equivalent
to one of the majors shown in A above that included at least 24
semester hours in physical science and/or related engineering
science, plus appropriate experience or additional education. In
