National Council of Examiners for Engineering and SurveyingThe National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) is an American non-profit organization dedicated to advancing professional licensure for engineers and surveyors. The Council’s members are the engineering and surveying licensure boards from all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. These boards are divided into four geographic zones: Central, Northeast, Southern, Western. It is headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina.
Occupational licensingOccupational licensing, also called licensure, is a form of government regulation requiring a license to pursue a particular profession or vocation for compensation. It is related to occupational closure. There is strongest public support for the licensing of professions whose activities could be a health or safety threat to the public, such as practicing medicine, and doctors require occupational licenses in most developed countries. However, some jurisdictions also require licenses for a much wider range of professions, such as florists and hairdressers.
Éthique de l'ingénierieL’éthique de l'ingénierie est le domaine de l'éthique appliquée qui examine et établit des normes pour les ingénieurs dans le cadre de leurs obligations envers le public, leurs clients, leurs employeurs et la profession. Serment d'Archimède : élaboré en 1990 par un groupe de diplômants de l'École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne sur le modèle du serment d'Hippocrate En France, voir Ingénieurs et scientifiques de France#Éthique de l'ingénieur Responsabilité éthique de l’ingénieur dans les systèmes complex
Engineering managementEngineering management is the application of the practice of management to the practice of engineering. Engineering management is a career that brings together the technological problem-solving ability of engineering and the organizational, administrative, legal and planning abilities of management in order to oversee the operational performance of complex engineering-driven enterprises. A Master of Engineering Management (MEM) is sometimes compared to a Master of Business Administration (MBA) for professionals seeking a graduate degree as a qualifying credential for a career in engineering management.
Engineering economicsFor the application of engineering economics in the practice of civil engineering see Engineering economics (Civil Engineering). Engineering economics, previously known as engineering economy, is a subset of economics concerned with the use and "...application of economic principles" in the analysis of engineering decisions. As a discipline, it is focused on the branch of economics known as microeconomics in that it studies the behavior of individuals and firms in making decisions regarding the allocation of limited resources.
Building officialsBuilding officials of developed countries are generally the jurisdictional administrator of building and construction codes, engineering calculation supervision, permits, facilities management, and accepted construction procedures. In some jurisdictions building officials act as project engineer or project manager for the chief building official who is the jurisdiction's formally recognized building official.
Professional degreeA professional degree, formerly known in the US as a first professional degree, is a degree that prepares someone to work in a particular profession, practice, or industry sector often meeting the academic requirements for licensure or accreditation. Professional degrees may be either graduate or undergraduate entry, depending on the profession concerned and the country, and may be classified as bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degrees.
Ingénierie des systèmesL'ingénierie des systèmes ou ingénierie système est une approche scientifique interdisciplinaire, dont le but est de formaliser et d'appréhender la conception et la validation de systèmes complexes. L'ingénierie des systèmes a pour objectif de maîtriser et de contrôler la conception de systèmes dont la complexité ne permet pas le pilotage simple. Par système, on entend un ensemble d'éléments humains ou matériels en interdépendance les uns les autres et qui inter-opèrent à l'intérieur de frontières ouvertes ou non sur l'environnement.
Construction parasismiquethumb| La Tokyo Skytree, la deuxième plus grande tour au monde (derrière le Burj Khalifa) qui, du haut de ses , a parfaitement résisté au séisme de 2011 de magnitude 9, démontrant l'efficacité des constructions parasismiques japonaises. La construction parasismique ou construction antisismique est la réalisation de bâtiments et infrastructures résistant aux séismes. Elle implique l'étude du comportement des bâtiments et structures sujets à un chargement dynamique de type sismique.
Manufacturing engineeringManufacturing engineering or production engineering is a branch of professional engineering that shares many common concepts and ideas with other fields of engineering such as mechanical, chemical, electrical, and industrial engineering. Manufacturing engineering requires the ability to plan the practices of manufacturing; to research and to develop tools, processes, machines and equipment; and to integrate the facilities and systems for producing quality products with the optimum expenditure of capital.
