Licensed Mechanical Engineer

female_engineerTo become a professionally licensed engineer, one must complete a rigorous set of requirements to prove his competency, not only in his engineering skills, but also in standards and codes.

Having a mechanical professional engineering (P.E.) license gives an engineer the credentials to prove their abilities and earn the trust of those around them, including prospective clients. Additionally, there are some functions that only a licensed engineer can practice:

  • The preparation and sign and seal of engineering drawings or plans, and the ability to submit these to a public authority for approval
  • Approve and seal engineering projects for private or public clients

At Glew Engineering, we recognize the importance of professional engineers, and our team provides licensed mechanical engineering services. Not only are we knowledgeable in the standards for safety and design, but we are also available for code review. We are happy to provide engineering services where a licensed mechanical engineer in California is required.

Additionally, Glew Engineering provides top finite element analysis and modeling (FEA & FEM) by a professional engineer, including multiphysics, stress analysis and fluid dynamics.

For example the PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS ACT (Business and Professions Code §§ 6700 – 6799) INCLUDES AMENDMENTS MADE DURING THE 2010 LEGISLATIVE SESSION (Effective January 1, 2011, unless otherwise noted) CHAPTER 7. PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS, describes who may use certain practice titles.
