About the CEAO

The County Engineers Association of Ohio (CEAO) raises the technical and non-technical
standards of service rendered to the general public by the County Engineer and his
employees by establishing a central point for reference and group discussion of mutual
problems.

The CEAO provides conferences, seminars, and workshops to its members on selected
subjects relating to engineering concerns and local transportation systems.  Special
bulletins about critical state and national legislative matters are frequently issued.
Members also receive a variety of publications, including the Annual Engineers Roster,
Ohio County Engineer magazine, and a monthly newsletter.

Each of Ohio's 88 counties elects a County Engineer. Only persons who hold registration
certificates form the State of Ohio as both Registered Professional Engineer (P.E.) and
Registered Professional Surveyor (P.S.) may hold the office of County Engineer. To
achieve both accreditations requires a minimum of a college degree in engineering and
surveying, four years of experience in engineering and surveying, and 16 hours of
testing for each license.  Ohio has the most rigorous standards in the United States for
qualifying its County Engineers.
