In addition to the person's license, most states require that firms providing engineering services are authorized to do so. For instance, the state of Florida requires businesses offering engineering services to be registered with the state and have a Florida licensed professional engineer qualify the business.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fbpe.org/licensure/licensure-process/engineering-firms/|title=Engineering firms|publisher=Florida Board of Professional Engineers|access-date=14 November 2019|archive-date=11 May 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200511205744/https://fbpe.org/licensure/licensure-process/engineering-firms/|url-status=live}}</ref>
[[Civil engineer]]s account for a large portion of licensed professional engineers. In Texas, for example, about 37 percent of licenses are for civil engineers, with civil engineering exams making up more than half of the exams taken.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tbpe.state.tx.us/downloads.htm#roster |publisher=Texas Board of Professional Engineers |access-date=2013-08-21 |year=2013 |title=Texas PE License Information Roster |archive-date=2014-08-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140801071230/http://www.tbpe.state.tx.us/downloads.htm#roster |url-status=
Areas that include much of [[Mechanical engineering|mechanical]], [[Aerospace engineering|aerospace]] and [[chemical engineering]] may be specifically exempted from regulation under an "industrial exemption". The industrial exemption varies from state to state. An industrial exemption covers engineers who design products such as automobiles that are sold (or have the potential to be sold) outside the state where they are produced, as well as the equipment used to produce the product. Structures subject to [[building code]]s are not covered by an industrial exemption, though small residential buildings often do not require an engineer's seal. In some jurisdictions, the role of [[architects]] and [[structural engineers]] overlap. In general, the primary professional responsible for designing habitable buildings is an architect. The architect signs and seals design plans for buildings and other structures that humans may occupy. A structural engineer is contracted to provide technical structural design ensuring the stability and safety of the overall structure, however, no states currently allow engineers the ability to perform professional architecture without also being licensed as an architect.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.aia.org/aiaucmp/groups/aia/documents/pdf/aiab095377.pdf |title=AIA Statutory Matrix on the Legal Relationships Between the Professions of Architecture and Engineering|
Many private companies employ non-degree workers in technical positions with engineering titles such as "test engineer" or "field engineer". At the company's discretion, as long as the company does not offer engineering services directly to the public or other businesses, such positions may not require an engineering license.
