How can I get registered and licensed as a professional engineer?

Q: How can I get registered and licensed as a professional engineer? A: To get registered and licensed as a professional engineer, you have to be a legal resident of the jurisdiction where you submit your application. You have to be at least 18, trustworthy, and with no criminal record. You have to have at the very least a bachelor's degree in engineering, from an established, recognized, and approved university. You have to provide two references who are licensed and professional engineers. Then you have to work for a few years as an "engineer in training", under the supervision of a registered and licensed professional engineer. You also have to pass a test of competence in both your engineering discipline and professional ethics. In my experience and that of others, the biggest hurdle in getting a registration and license seems to be either the lack of a university degree in engineering, or the lack of an acceptable, verifiable work experience under the supervision of a licensed, professional engineer.
