CATEGORIES OF REGISTRATION WITH THE BOETT

There are currently twenty-one (21) Categories of Registration with the Board or Engineering.

CODE DISCIPLINE CODE DISCIPLINE CODE DISCIPLINE

02 AGRICULTURAL 09 INDUSTRIAL 16 PROJECT MANAGEMENT

05 COMMUNICATIONS 12 METALLURGICAL 19 STRUCTURAL
06 ELECTRICAL 13 MINING 20 SPECIALIST ENGINEERING
07 ELECTRONIC 14 NUCLEAR 21 ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING

Each Registrant is assigned a unique registration number comprised of five to six digits. The first two digits identify the Category of Registration while the other three or four digits constitute a chronological number assigned to the registrant at the time of Registration.

For example, the number 04-0110, indicates that the Engineer is registered in the category of Civil Engineering and his chronological number at the time of registration is 110.  Currently there are just over 1000 active registrants and the current chronological number of registrants after 37 years of registration is just about 1700.
