Contact
Inquiries directed to engineeringsauthority.com are routed to editorial and research staff responsible for maintaining reference content across the engineering disciplines, licensure standards, and professional regulatory frameworks covered on this property. The contact function supports researchers, licensed professionals, academic institutions, and public-sector organizations seeking clarification, source verification, or substantive engagement with published content.
Service area covered
This reference property covers engineering at national scope within the United States, with content organized across the principal licensed and unlicensed engineering disciplines recognized by bodies including the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) and ABET. Coverage extends across civil, mechanical, electrical, software, chemical, aerospace, biomedical, environmental, and structural engineering, as well as emerging interdisciplinary fields documented by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and professional organizations such as the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE).
The scope of this property does not extend to individual licensing applications, examination scheduling, or jurisdiction-specific legal or regulatory filings. Those processes are administered directly by state licensing boards operating under NCEES compact agreements. Inquiries falling within that operational scope should be directed to the relevant state board.
Contact submissions are accepted for the following purposes:
- Editorial corrections — Factual disputes supported by a named public source, statute citation, or official agency document
- Source verification requests — Requests to confirm or expand attribution for specific regulatory claims, penalty figures, or standards citations
- Content scope inquiries — Questions about whether a particular engineering discipline, certification pathway, or regulatory framework falls within this property's published coverage
- Research collaboration — Institutional or academic inquiries related to engineering policy, licensure data, or professional workforce analysis
- Licensing and standards clarification — Questions about how published content reflects standards from bodies such as ASCE, IEEE, ASME, or AISC
Submissions outside these categories — including solicitation, advertising placement, or link exchange requests — are not reviewed.
What to include in your message
Effective routing requires that each submission identify the specific page or topic section in question. Generic messages referencing "your website" or "engineering content" without a page reference are deprioritized in the review queue.
A well-formed submission includes:
- Page reference — The exact page title or URL path (for example, Professional Engineer (PE) License or Engineering Standards and Codes)
- Section or paragraph location — The specific heading or passage being disputed or questioned
- Nature of the inquiry — Whether the submission concerns a factual error, a missing citation, a scope question, or a research matter
- Supporting documentation — For editorial corrections, the name of the authoritative source (such as a specific NCEES policy document, a federal statute reference under Title 10 or Title 42 of the U.S. Code, or a published standard from ANSI or ASTM International) and the specific claim being disputed
- Institutional affiliation — Not required for all inquiries, but necessary for research collaboration and formal source verification requests
Submissions disputing regulatory or statutory content without a named public-sector source are not actioned as corrections. The editorial standard for this property requires that any revision to a quantified claim — such as a penalty ceiling, examination pass rate published by NCEES, or salary figure from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) program — be traceable to a primary public document.
Response expectations
Response timelines vary by inquiry type and complexity. Editorial correction reviews that include a complete source citation are processed within 5 to 7 business days. Research collaboration inquiries requiring internal review may take up to 15 business days before a substantive response is issued.
Submissions are triaged into 3 priority levels:
- Priority 1 (expedited): Factual errors affecting regulatory compliance information, such as incorrect PE licensure requirements or misattributed statutory thresholds
- Priority 2 (standard): Source expansion requests, content scope clarifications, and research inquiries from affiliated academic institutions
- Priority 3 (queue): General feedback, terminology questions answerable by the Engineering Glossary and Terminology page, and non-urgent coverage questions
All substantive editorial changes made in response to a contact submission are documented internally and, where the change affects a cited figure or regulatory threshold, the updated page reflects revised attribution at the point of use per standard inline citation practice.
Automated or bulk submissions are filtered before reaching editorial review. Submissions that appear to be generated without human review of the specific page content referenced are discarded without response.
Additional contact options
For topics documented within this reference network, the following resources may resolve inquiries without requiring direct editorial contact:
- The Engineering Frequently Asked Questions page addresses 40+ common professional and regulatory questions across licensure, examination, and career pathways
- The Engineering Licensure and Certification (US) page consolidates state board structures, NCEES examination formats, and PE/EIT pathway requirements
- The Engineering Professional Organizations (US) page catalogs primary membership bodies, their standards governance functions, and contact channels for discipline-specific regulatory inquiries
For examination-related matters, NCEES maintains a direct public contact function covering the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) and Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) examinations. For ABET accreditation status inquiries, ABET's accreditation search tool provides program-level data without requiring editorial intermediation.
