EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENT FOR ENGINEERING REGISTRATION IN FLORIDA

The absolute minimum requirement for professional engineering registration in Florida should be an earned Bachelor's Degree in engineering from an ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) accredited program or equivalent.

The State Board of Professional Engineers should apply the equivalency rule only in cases where ABET does not accredit or where programs are considered as satisfactory to the Board but have not yet been through the ABET accreditation process.
