Why Are There Over 10,000 Engineers
Registered in the State of Tennessee?
P.E. Registration:
The Smartest Choice
Benefits of Becoming a P.E.
Job Opportunities
– Employers want engineers who show a commitment
to the future by becoming registered. Many engineering jobs require P.E. status.
Promotions – Look around - a
majority of senior engineering positions are occupied by P.E.s. An increasing number of
companies are requiring registration for advancement.
Consulting – Only P.E.s can consult in private practice and serve
as expert witness in court.
Respect – P.E.s gain the respect of peers within the engineering
community. Registered engineers also enhance their employers reputation.
Professionalism – Registration by a majority of engineers is
essential if you are to enjoy the benefits of established professions such as medicine and
law.
It's the Law – This is probably the most important reason.
Tennessee State law reserves use of the word "engineer" for licensed
professional engineers.
Why Now?
Simple, it's easier!
You should begin the registration process
while the coursework is still fresh in your mind.
What is Required?
Please see the
Tennessee Board of
Architectural and Engineering Examiners home page for current registration
requirements.
Ordering a PE Stamp or Embosser
Upon passing the PE
examination, new registrants are assigned a registration number and are given a
license
to practice engineering in the state of Tennessee. One of the first needs for a newly
licensed Professional Engineer is to acquire a Professional Engineer stamp and/or
embosser.
TSPE will assist newly licensed engineers by
having your name and registration number imprinted on a rubber seal stamp or on a
pocket
seal embosser for a nominal charge. The stamp and embosser may be purchased by filling out
and returning the PE Stamp/Embosser Order Form.
