Consulting Engineers Council

Professional engineers are individuals who, because of their training in one or more engineering specialties, are licensed professional engineers by the state. Professional engineers in private practice either own or are employees of engineering firms, commonly referred to as Consulting Engineers. Consulting engineers serve public and private customers in ways varying from brief consultations to the full design and coordination of a project. They are often the technical liaison between other design specialists, process specialists, contractors, providers and the customer.
