Industrial Design Solutions (IDS) is proud to announce that Carsten Serra has officially earned his Professional Engineer (P.E.) license — a prestigious milestone that reflects years of experience, rigorous testing, and a demonstrated commitment to engineering excellence.
This accomplishment strengthens IDS’s ability to deliver highly compliant, safe, and innovative engineering solutions for industrial facilities across the Southwest.
What Is a Professional Engineer (P.E.) — and Why It Matters
A Professional Engineer (P.E.) is the highest standard of competence within the engineering profession. To earn this designation, an engineer must meet strict qualifications, including:
Accredited engineering education
Four or more years of progressive engineering experience
Passing both the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) and Principles & Practice of Engineering (PE) exams
Commitment to public safety, ethics, and ongoing continuing education
Once licensed, a P.E. is legally recognized as a qualified expert capable of signing and sealing engineering documents — a requirement in many industrial, electrical, and power system applications.
For clients, a P.E. represents confidence, accountability, and industry-validated expertise.
What Carsten’s P.E. Means for IDS Clients
Carsten’s achievement elevates IDS’s capabilities in several key ways:
- Enhanced Engineering Authority
IDS can now stamp engineering drawings and documentation that require P.E. oversight, streamlining project timelines and reducing outsourcing needs. - Higher Standards of Safety & Compliance
The P.E. credential ensures that all engineering solutions meet or exceed federal, state, and industry-specific codes—critical for power system reliability and risk mitigation. - Strengthened Expertise in Power & Industrial Systems
Carsten’s specialization in industrial electrical systems aligns directly with IDS’s mission to deliver best-in-class solutions for power distribution, automation, protection, and system upgrades. - Greater Value for Every Project
From feasibility studies and design packages to commissioning and long-term support, clients benefit from an increased level of engineering leadership and technical depth.
