Articles gives an overview of the licensing requirements for Structural Engineer’s (SE) in the United States.
Engineering professionals of all disciplines (electrical, civil, mechanical, structural, etc…) in the United States are charged with “protecting the safety, health and welfare of the general public.”

In the last decade, there has been a movement across the nation to better the life safety of our structures by requiring a separate licensure for structural engineers.
