Professionalism
Though licensure is not a requirement of membership,
CSPE and NSPE recognize that PEs have gone the extra mile to achieve
excellence in his or her profession. Joining with other PEs in a
PROFESSIONAL society shows how much you value your PE status.
An important part of our mission is to protect and
enhance the value of the PE license. We do this through:

Legislative activity |
 |
Taking action against
the illegal practice of engineering; |
 |
Providing continuing
education for PEs |
