I would have thought that to be a Royal Engineer you
wouldn't need formal qualifications - don't know though.

You think they are all squadies?

The days when someone could become a professional engineer
simply by "learning on the job" are well and truly past.

Meh? I don't think so. You understudy another PE ( in a
discipline) for a year, then take a test in the discipline.

The BS degree just helps HR sort resumes...

Not quite so simple. I am an Electrical PE and this is what it
takes now a days.

1. must graduate from an ABET accredited school and
curriculum.
2. must pass the fundamentals of engineering exam (8hrs open
book multiple choice)
3. must have two years work experience in the field of license
4. must present multiple endorsements from registered
professional engineers who have reviewed your work
5. must pass 2nd 8 hr test. Mine had 24 questions and I had to
answer 8 of them. Open book, calculators allowed , all work
and assumptions shown, hand graded.
6. too keep the license you must complete 12 professional
development hours of education each year and keep the
license(s) for every state you are licensed in current.
