Basic Requirement for Chemical Engineer:

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 di??erential 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. (Degree must be completed by May 2025)

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

an appropriate scientific field, e.g., engineering technology, 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. 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.

In addition to meeting the basic requirement above, to qualify for this position you must

also meet the qualification requirements listed below:

Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience which includes assisting in the design

and development of chemical engineered devices, equipment or systems using established criteria

or specifications; or, assisting in the inspection and evaluation of chemical engineered projects and

resources; or, assisting in identifying chemical engineering problems and recommending corrective

action. This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the next lower

grade/level position in the federal service (GS-05).

OR

Education: One full year of graduate level education in a field which demonstrates the

knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to do the work of the position, such as: Engineering.

OR

Superior Academic Achievement: Successful completion (or completion no later than

May 2025) of all the requirements for a bachelor's degree with Superior Academic

Achievement (S.A.A.). In order to be creditable under this provision, Superior Academic

Achievement must have been gained in a curriculum that is qualifying for the position to be

filled, such as that identified in Education above. Superior Academic Achievement is based on:

(1) Class Standing - Applicants must be in the upper third of the graduating class in the college,

university, or major subdivision, such as the College of Liberal Arts or the School of Business

Administration, based on completed courses; OR

(2) Grade-Point Average (G.P.A.) - Applicants must have a grade-point average of either (a) 3.0

or higher out of a possible 4.0 ("B" or better) as recorded on your o??icial transcript, or as

computed based on 4 years of education, or as computed based on courses completed during

the final 2 years of the curriculum; or (b) 3.5 or higher out of a possible 4.0 ("B+" or better)

based on the average of the required courses completed in the major field or the required

courses in the major field completed during the final 2 years of the curriculum.; OR

(3) Honor Society Membership - Applicants may be considered eligible based on membership in

one of the approved national scholastic honor societies listed by the Association of College

Honor Societies (https://www.achsnatl.org/).

NOTE: Grade point averages will be rounded to one decimal point. For example, 2.95 will round

to 3.0, and 2.94 will round to 2.9.

NOTE: If more than 10 percent of your undergraduate course work (credit hours) was taken on

a pass/fail or similar basis, your S.A.A. claim must be based on class standing or membership in

an honor society and you must provide evidence of your class standing or honor society

membership with your application.

OR

5-Year Engineering Program: Successful completion (or completion by May 2025) of a

5-year program of study (i.e., one designed to be completed in no less than 5 years) of at least

160 semester hours leading to a bachelor's degree in engineering in an ABET accredited

college or university.

OR

Combination of Education and Experience: A combination of education and experience may

be used to qualify for this position as long as the computed percentage of the requirements is at

least 100%. To compute the percentage of the requirements, divide your total months of

experience by 12. Then divide the total number of completed graduate semester hours (or

equivalent) by 18. Add the two percentages.

Education

FOREIGN EDUCATION: If you are using education completed in foreign colleges or universities to meet the qualification requirements, you must show the education credentials have been evaluated by a private organization that specializes in interpretation of foreign education programs and such education has been deemed equivalent to that gained in an accredited U.S. education program; or full credit has been given for the courses at a U.S. accredited college or university.
