Regulation and licensure in engineering is established by various jurisdictions of the world to encourage life, public welfare, safety, well-being, then environment and other interests of the general public and to define the licensure process through which an engineer becomes licensed to practice engineering and to provide professional services and products to the public.
As with many other professions and activities, engineering is often a restricted activity. Relatedly, jurisdictions that license according to particular engineering discipline define the boundaries of each discipline carefully so that practitioners understand what they are competent to do.
A licensed engineer takes legal responsibility for engineering work, product or projects (typically via a seal or stamp on the relevant design documentation) as far as the local engineering legislation is concerned. Regulations require that only a licensed engineer can sign, seal or stamp technical documentation such as reports, plans, engineering drawings and calculations for study estimate or valuation or carry out design analysis, repair, servicing, maintenance or supervision of engineering work, process or project. In cases where public safety, property or welfare is concerned, licensed engineers are trusted by the government and the public to perform the task in a competent manner. In various parts of the world, licensed engineers may use a protected title such as professional engineer, chartered engineer, or simply engineer.
It is often illegal for a practicing engineer to jeopardize public safety in any way. This means that an engineer must hold herself or himself to the highest level of technical and moral conduct reasonable or suffer litigation if an engineering system fails causing harm to the public, including maintenance technicians. Breaches of engineering law are often sufficient grounds for enforcement measures, which may include the suspension or loss of license and financial penalties. They may also include imprisonment, should gross negligence be shown to have played a part in loss of human life.

Le génie mécanique (ou l'ingénierie mécanique) désigne l'ensemble des connaissances liées à la , au sens physique (sciences des mouvements) et au sens technique (étude des mécanismes). Ce champ de connaissances va de la conception d'un produit mécanique au recyclage de ce dernier en passant par la fabrication, la maintenance, etc. Données dans l'ordre du cycle de vie d'un produit mécanique. Conception de produit : analyse fonctionnelle, dessin industriel, conception assistée par ordinateur.
Un ingénieur civil est un ingénieur dont la particularité correspond à des statuts différents selon l'époque et le pays. Génie (technique)Jusqu'à la première révolution industrielle, les ingénieurs étaient bien souvent issus d'écoles d'origine militaire et étaient chargés principalement du génie militaire qui englobait alors bien souvent toutes les tâches associées comme la construction, les fortifications, les routes et ponts, les voies navigables.
thumb|upright=1.6|Ingénieurs de la NASA pendant la mission Apollo 13 L'ingénierie et technologie spatiale désigne l'ensemble des fonctions concernant la conception, la construction, l'envoi dans l'espace et le contrôle ultérieur des véhicules spatiaux et des installations terrestres associées. Il s'agit d'un cas particulier d'ingénierie employé dans l'industrie spatiale. Puisqu'ils se déplacent dans l'espace, les véhicules spatiaux doivent subir des conditions éprouvantes : des forts gradients de température et de pression, de fortes contraintes structurales, des vibrations.
