Facilities Engineering evolved from plant engineering in the early 1990s as U.S. workplaces became more complex. Practitioners preferred this term because it more accurately reflected the multidisciplinary demands for specialized conditions in a wider variety of indoor environments, not merely manufacturing plants. Today, a facilities engineer vs. a facilities manager typically has hands on responsibility for the employer s electrical engineering, maintenance, environmental, health, safety, energy, controls instrumentation, civil engineering, and HVAC needs. The need for expertise in these categories varies widely depending on whether the facility is, for example, a single use site or a multi use campus whether it is an office, school, hospital, museum, processing production plant, etc. Some colleges and universities offer degrees in facilities engineering. Others offer continuing education courses. The Association for Facilities Engineering offers rigorous programs to certify engineers, maintenance managers and supervisors. Additionally the US Department of Defense DoD has created a Facities Engineering career field as part of the Acquisition, Technology and Logistics workforce. That career field is not limited to indoor environments. In the DoD the field also encompasses Real Estate, Ranges and the management of Linear Structures such as roadways, fences and pipelines. Dod offers three levels of certification for professionals in this field. See also Civil engineering Environmental engineering Built environment References Bernard T. Lewis, James P.
