SE Licensure

SEI and ASCE Policies Regarding Licensure

• SEI Policy Statement 101: Structural Engineering License
• Oak Brook Accords Consensus Document regarding Geo-Structures and SE Licensure
• ASCE Policy Statement 465 - Academic Prerequisites for Licensure and Professional Practice
• ASCE Policy Statement 524 - Licensure and Advanced Credentialing within the Civil Engineering Profession

The Structural Engineering Licensure Coalition develops resources, case studies, and presentations in support of structural engineering licensure. Until licensure is available to all practicing structural engineers, SEI has partnered with SECB for certification.

Certification

SEI encourages members to obtain certification from the Structural Engineering Certification Board (SECB). SECB application fees have been permanently reduced from $350 to $200 for SEI Members. In addition, SECB has enacted an open enrollment method for licensed professional engineers practicing structural engineering to attain certification based upon experience and education. The examination requirement, previously required for all, need not be met for applicants holding an active license or registration in any U.S. jurisdiction to act in responsible charge of structural engineering projects. The license and/or registration must have been awarded on or before July 1, 2015 and must remain valid through the time of application.
