  1. Building For the future of the professional engineer

  2. Our foundation NSPE, in partnership with the State/Territorial Societies, • Serves as the recognized and authoritative expert in licensure, ethics, and professional practice; • Promotes licensure and assists individuals in becoming licensed; and • Protects and enhances the value of licensure and the opportunities for the licensed engineer.

  3. NSPE, 1934 • David Steinman • Protect engineers (and the public) from unqualified practitioners, • Build public recognition for the profession, and • Stand against unethical practices and inadequate compensation.

  4. NSPE, Today • Being a licensed professional engineer means more than just holding a certificate and possessing technical competence. • It is a commitment to hold the public health, safety, and welfare above all other considerations. • NSPE is the only society focusing exclusively on this core principle, which professional engineers in all disciplines and practice areas hold in common. • NSPE is an integrated network of organizations, operating at the national, regional, state, and local levels, with a more than 80-year history of achievement. • By defining, promoting, and protecting the PE license, we improve the lives of both the public and the PEs that serve it.

  5. NSPE is… Not Just Another Organization

  6. NSPE is…Not Just Another Organization “The technical problems of civil, mechanical, electrical, mining, and chemical engineers are divergent; but the professional problems are alike. The technical societies, for the best fulfillment of their essential purpose, are divided on lines of differentiation of technical branches or specialties…

  7. NSPE is…Not Just Another Organization This division into separate organizations, with diverse traditions and viewpoints, prevents effective united effort for the interests of the profession as a whole. A single national professional society, with solidarity of purpose and concentration of strength, is needed to provide effectively for the professional interests of the engineering profession.” David Steinman (1935)

  8. NSPE is… Entirely committed to the professional concerns of licensed PEs across all disciplines.
