AABC "Engineers"
AABC "Engineers"
(OP)
Just noticed.
Associated Air Balance Council certifies individuals as "Test and Balance Engineers" without an engineering degree and exam.
Guess I wasted my time at Drexel to get my EIT and PE.

RE: AABC "Engineers"
So you get 4 years experience credit. Your PE allows you to stamp, while the cert does not. Presumably, one could ask the PE police whether the usage of "Test and Balance Engineer" constitutes a violation of the PE laws.

RE: AABC "Engineers"
AABC is a private accreditation, thus not equivalent to a PE, which is a public license.
Using title "Engineer" is probably not illegal because AABC and NEBB balancers aren't typically "holding themselves out to the public".
The experience requirements are actually quite similar to those required in Wisconsin to qualify for the PE exam without a degree.
Drexel should introduce reading comprehension into their program.
