Concluding that it takes a lot of effort, knowledge, and hard work to become an engineering consultant is not a difficult leap. Work experience is crucial with this profession, as theoretical knowledge doesn’t help enough. It rarely does with any profession, we admit, but with this particular one it is truly only a dead letter.
A good illustration of this is that many engineers further their knowledge tirelessly. I.e., you will hardly find a serious professional not holding at least the CCNP (Cisco Certified Network Professional) credential. Cisco engineers are recognized as outstanding professionals unanimously, and not without a good reason.
New graduates typically start with structured graduate development programs, achieving, over time, advanced engineer status. Professionals employed by consulting engineering companies hold different degrees covering literally every imaginable specialty. That is not to be wondered at, given that engineering branches are numerous, and the projects – impossible to be concluded satisfactorily without a comprehensive inter-disciplinary approach.
