Promotions – Look around - a majority of senior engineering positions are occupied by PEs. An increasing number of companies are requiring registration for advancement.

Consulting – Only PEs can consult in private practice and serve as expert witnesses in court.

Respect – PEs gain the respect of peers within the engineering community. Registered engineers also enhance their employers reputation.

Professionalism – Registration by a majority of engineers is essential if you are to enjoy the benefits of established professions such as medicine and law.
