OR 2. Combination of education and experience: College-level education, training, and/or technical experience that furnished (a) a thorough knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences underlying engineering, and (b) a good understanding, both theoretical and practical,of the engineering sciences and techniques and their applications to one of the branches of engineering. The adequacy of such background must be demonstrated by one of the following: Professional registration -Current registration as an Engineer Intern (EI), Engineer in Training (EIT)1, or licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) by any State, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico. Absent other means of qualifying under this standard, those applicants who achieved such registration by means other than written test (e.g., State grandfather or eminence provisions) are eligible only for positions that are within or closely related to the specialty field of their registration. For example, an applicant who attains registration through a State Board's eminence provision as a manufacturing engineer typically would be rated eligible only for manufacturing engineering positions. Written Test -Evidence of having successfully passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE)2 examination or any other written test required for professional registration by an engineering licensure board in the various States, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico. Specified academic courses -Successful completion of at least 60 semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences and that included the courses specified in the basic requirements under paragraph A. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of an engineering program as described in paragraph A. Related curriculum -Successful completion of a curriculum leading to a bachelor's degree in an appropriate scientific field, e.g., engineering technology, physics,chemistry, architecture, computer science, mathematics, hydrology, or geology, may be accepted in lieu of a bachelor's degree in engineering, provided the applicant has had at least 1 year of professional engineering experience acquired under professional engineering supervision and guidance. Ordinarily there should be either an established plan of intensive training to develop professional engineering competence, or several years of prior professional engineering-type experience, e.g., in interdisciplinary positions. (The above examples of related curricula are not all-inclusive.) AND B. Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience that equipped you with the particular competencies to successfully perform the duties of the position, and that is in or related to the work of this position. To qualify at the GS-07 level, applicants must possess one year of specialized experience - must be equivalent to the GS-05 level or equivalent under other pay systems in the Federal service, military or private sector. To qualify at the GS-09 level, applicants must possess one year of specialized experience - must be equivalent to the GS-07 level or equivalent under other pay systems in the Federal service, military or private sector. To qualify at the GS-11 level, applicants must possess one year of specialized experience - must be equivalent to the GS-09 level or equivalent under other pay systems in the Federal service, military, or private sector. To qualify at the GS-12 level, applicants must possess one year of specialized experience must be equivalent to the GS-11 level or equivalent under other pay systems in the Federal service, military, or private sector. Applicants must meet eligibility requirements including minimum qualifications and any other regulatory requirements by the cut-off/closing date of the announcement. Applicants who meet the basic requirements described above are fully qualified for the specified entry grade described below with the applicable creditable specialized experience: GS-07: Analyzing engineering problems and recommending detailed solutions. Analyzing and studying performance requirements for technical risks, functionality, and reliability. GS-09: Assisting other engineers in the technical review of engineering projects. Demonstrating a good understanding of quality assurance principal concepts and methodologies. GS-11: Recommending to contractors the selections, descriptions, and use of standard parts. Analyzing and studying performance requirements for technical risks, functionality and reliability. GS-12: Testing and evaluating a variety of electronic devices such as satellites, communication systems, flight systems, navigation systems and/or weapon systems. Professional knowledge of electronic engineering concepts, principles and practices. OR C. Education Substitution: Such education must demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to do the work. Education must be from a college or university accredited by an organization approved by the U.S. Department of Education. See http://ope.ed.gov/accreditation/Search.aspx. If using education to meet basic qualifications, YOU MUST SUBMIT A TRANSCRIPT as supplemental documentation. To qualify based on education in lieu of specialized experience, you must possess: GS-07: One year of graduate-level education or superior academic achievement. Such education must have provided the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to perform the work of the position being filled. GS-09: Two years of progressively higher level graduate education leading to a master's degree or master's or equivalent graduate degree. Such education must have provided the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to perform the work of the position being filled. GS-11: Three years of progressively higher level graduate education leading to a Ph.D. degree or Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree. Such education must have provided the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to perform the work of the position being filled. GS-12: Education cannot be substituted for specialized experience at this grade level. OR
