Civil engineers need a license to work independently. Requirements vary by country but typically include accredited education, supervised experience, and passing licensing examinations. In the United States, for instance, candidates typically must earn a bachelor’s degree accredited by ABET (formerly the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology), pass the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, complete four years of work supervised by a licensed civil engineer, and pass the Principles and Practice of Engineering examination.
