AAEE offers two options for CESB-accredited certification. One is for Licensed Engineers (PE)s, the other is for Non-Licensed Engineering Practitioners.
Licensed Engineers (PE)s
- Board Certified Environmental Engineer (BCEE): To apply for the BCEE, you must be a licensed, professional engineer with at least eight years of full-time environmental engineering experience. To become a BCEE, you must take a written exam and sit for a Peer Review. If you have more than 16 years of experience, you may request a waiver of the written exam. Specialty certification provides independent testimony to your expertise. For more information, click here.
