School of Engineering
Licensure and Certification
As of June 1, 2025, it has been determined that the following programs meet educational requirements in for Professional Engineer licensure in all U.S. states, Washington D.C., and U.S. territories.
Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering
Note: To become a Professional Engineer, students must graduate from an accredited ABET program. UMSL’s Engineering program will seek accreditation after their first graduating class. Once accreditation is granted, the program will receive accreditation status for the time it was established, making students eligible for licensure requirements.
Students who live outside the state of Missouri and are considering enrolling in any program that leads to a professional licensure, are strongly encouraged to inquire with the applicable licensing board to determine the most up-to-date information regarding state licensure requirements prior to enrolling in any academic program. UMSL updates state licensure requirements annually; however, state laws, regulations, and policies may change at any time, which can impact the program's ability to meet educational requirements for licensure or certification. For the most up to date information about Licensure and Certification requirements, please visit https://www.umsl.edu/oiec/regulations/state-approvals.html.
If you plan to seek licensure in one of the states listed above, please contact UMSL School of Engineering Program Director at annanna@umsl.edu for more information.
ENGR 1414 Elementary Engineering Design: 2 semester hours
Prerequisites: MATH 1030 and MATH 1035, or MATH 1045, or a satisfactory score on the UMSL Math Placement Examination, obtained at most one year prior to enrollment in this course, or consent of instructor. The course presents fundamental concepts and processes (project planning, design practices, teamwork, innovation, and systems integration) involved in designing engineering systems as it relates to civil engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering. Students work in teams either as competing design teams or complementary sub-system design teams to apply the concepts to design, build, and test series of engineering projects. The students will submit a design report and give a project presentation at the end of semester.
