The American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists™ certifies qualified environmental engineering members recommended by peers in their field of specialty as Board Certified Environmental Engineering Members by Eminence certification procedures prescribed by the Academy's Bylaws. Board Certified Environmental Engineering Members (BCEEM) are not licensed professional engineers, and the board certification made available to them through the Academy is not a substitute for a professional engineer's license. Environmental engineers without a P.E. License, Board Certified Environmental Engineers (BCEEM), may be certified through Eminence.
