The Georgia Society of Professional Engineers (GSPE) is the Georgia state affiliate of the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE).
GSPE represents licensed Professional Engineers (PEs), engineers pursuing licensure, and engineering students across all engineering disciplines. As a professional membership organization, GSPE supports the practice of engineering and promotes licensure, ethical standards, and professional responsibilities that protect public welfare, health, and safety.
Engineering Licensure and Public Protection in Georgia
For decades, Georgia law has recognized the essential role of licensed engineers in safeguarding the public. Professional engineering licensure helps ensure that engineering work affecting public welfare is performed by qualified, accountable professionals.
The Georgia Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors, an independent state regulatory agency, protects the public by:
- Licensing qualified engineers and land surveyors
- Establishing standards of professional conduct
- Enforcing engineering regulations under Georgia law
GSPE supports this licensure framework by educating stakeholders and promoting professional standards that strengthen public trust in the engineering profession.
GSPE’s Role
GSPE is a nonpartisan professional organization. We do not represent commercial interests or political parties.
Our role is to:
- Support professional engineering licensure
- Promote ethical practice and accountability
- Encourage policies and standards that enable engineers to meet their legal and ethical responsibilities to the public
GSPE’s work is consistent with O.C.G.A. § 43-15, which governs the professional practice of engineering in Georgia.
A Resource for Decision Makers
GSPE serves as a resource to elected officials, agency staff, and other decision makers on matters related to:
