Board Certified ExpertsThe American Academy of Water Resources Engineers is proud to have conferred the Honorary Diplomate, Water Resources Engineer (Hon.D.WRE) to thirty-eight individuals and the Diplomate, Water Resources Engineer (D.WRE) credential to over seven-hundred professional engineers. |
A Diplomate is a Board Certified Professional in a specialty field of practice. The Diplomate designation is considered the highest advanced post-licensure board certification in the engineering field. More than 700 professional engineers have achieved the Diplomate, Water Resources Engineer (D.WRE) Board Certification to date. A Board Certified Diplomate has had at least ten years of progressive experience after earning their first engineering degree and has achieved a post-undergraduate degree (or has had extensive experience - at least 25+ years).
A Board Certified Diplomate has demonstrated advanced knowledge in at least one of the areas of the Body of Knowledge (BoK) in water resources engineering. A professional engineer becomes a Diplomate through attaining advanced experience, licensure, and education, as well as passing a panel oral examination. For professional engineers with more than 25 years of professional experience, the panel oral exam may be waived.
The Academy has three categories of Board Certified Diplomates: Diplomate, Water Resources Engineer (D.WRE); Diplomate, Water Resources Engineer Retired (D.WRE Ret.) Honorary Diplomate, Water Resources Engineer (Hon.D.WRE).
