NCEES seeks licensed professional engineers’ professional expertise and advice

NCEES is currently seeking licensed professional engineers to participate in a professional activities and knowledge study, or PAKS, for the PE Architectural Engineering exam. The results of this online survey will be used to update specifications for the exam, which is used throughout the United States for licensing purposes.

NCEES requires a cross section of licensed professional engineers practicing architectural engineering—including those working in industry, consulting, the public sector, and academia—to complete an online survey about the tasks and knowledge required of a licensed architectural engineer with four to six years of experience to practice in a

manner that safeguards the health, safety, and welfare of the public. The survey can be completed in approximately 20–30 minutes.

“These studies help NCEES ensure its licensing exams remain relevant to current professional practice,” explained Chief Officer of Examinations Jason J. Gamble, P.E. “The value of this PAKS depends on the number of people who participate, so NCEES is eager to get a large response from professional engineers across all areas of architectural engineering.”

For access to the online survey, visit ncees.org/ARCPAKS.

Student Outreach

SFPE Great Plains chapter - Student Outreach The Great Plains chapter of the Society for Fire Protection Engineers wants to reach out to high school and college students regarding careers in the field of Fire Protection Engineering. The SFPE has a presentation on Careers in Fire Protection that can be shared with high school or college students studying Engineering & Architecture. We would like to present it to the classes directly, or share it so the educators can present it if that is preferred, in order to encourage interest in the field of Fire Protection. The SFPE’s ‘Chemistry of Fire’ is geared to high school chemistry students. It will teach students the science behind fire as a way for students to fully understand the dangers of fire. As a result, it will increase the awareness of fire and the importance of home fire prevention. When chemistry students see real world applications of this fascinating science they may be inspired to explore an exciting career as a fire protection engineer. The interactive program comes on a DVD that can be distributed to educators as needed and there is a website with additional resources SFPE EDUCATION.
