What does it mean that professional engineers are licensed by discipline?
Professional engineers in Nebraska are licensed by discipline of examination. If you have passed the civil PPE, then you are a licensed professional civil engineer, and your seal will be designated that way. Professional engineers may practice outside their discipline if they have the education and experience to do so. If a licensees practice is called into question, the individual is required to provide the board with evidence that they do indeed have the expertise to practice other disciplines. If the licensees do not have the expertise, they are not allowed to practice engineering in that discipline.
