Abstract
The Global Society of Peace Engineers (GSPE - www.gspe.net) was formed in August 2019. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the bylaws of GSPE, which in the future will provide assessment, certification, training and support for the growing profession of Peace Engineering. The society accredits Peace Engineers as engineers trained in an Engineering Discipline who combine their core engineering training with specific skill sets, knowledge and abilities to measurably increase Peace across scales. The society will advocate for Peace Engineering as an Engineering Discipline in professional practice and education. GSPE's early goals are to build membership, create crowd sourced models of peace engineering and build virtual products that focus on positive peace in engineering practice. Long term goals include establishing the certifications of a Peace Engineer, including professional indemnity insurance and royalties management. GSPE will serve to certify the profession of Peace Engineering through the the term "Certified Peace Engineer" after application, presentation of qualifications, an ethics exam, and board approval.
