Practicing engineers should demand more from our education system, the engineering profession, and ourselves. Licensure is the mark of a professional. It's a standard recognized by employers and their clients, by governments and by the public as an assurance of dedication, skill and quality. Why should we settle for anything less? Beginning with this question, panelists from academia and industry will discuss the importance of professional licensure and the role nuclear professionals play to protect the health and safety of the public.
