National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying

The National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) is an American non-profit organization dedicated to advancing professional licensure for engineers and surveyors. The Council’s members are the engineering and surveying licensure boards from all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. These boards are divided into four geographic zones: Central, Northeast, Southern, Western. It is headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina. NCEES develops and scores the FE, PE and SE exams for engineering licensure. The FE exam is generally the first step in the process to becoming a professional licensed engineer (PE). It is designed for recent graduates and students who are close to finishing an undergraduate engineering degree from an EAC/ABET- accredited program. The PE exam is designed to test for a minimum level of competency in a particular engineering discipline. It is designed for engineers who have gained a minimum of four years of work experience in their chosen engineering discipline. The PE Structural Engineering exam is predominantly developed to test engineers who practice in jurisdictions that license structural engineers separately from other professional engineers. The Fundamentals of Engineering exam (FE exam) is generally the first step in the process to becoming a professional licensed engineer (PE). It is designed for recent graduates and students who are close to finishing an undergraduate engineering degree from an EAC/ABET-accredited program. The FE exam is a computer-based exam administered year-round at NCEES-approved Pearson VUE test centers. The Principles and Practice of Engineering Exam (PE exam) tests for a minimum level of competency in a particular engineering discipline. It is designed for engineers who have gained a minimum of four years’ post-college work experience in their chosen engineering discipline. The PE Structural Engineering exam tests for a minimum level of competency in structural engineering.

Engineering technologist

An engineering technologist is a professional trained in certain aspects of development and implementation of a respective area of technology. An education in engineering technology concentrates more on application and less on theory than does an engineering education. Engineering technologists often assist engineers; but after years of experience, they can also become engineers. Like engineers, areas where engineering technologists can work include product design, fabrication, and testing.

Regulation and licensure in engineering

Regulation and licensure in engineering is established by various jurisdictions of the world to encourage life, public welfare, safety, well-being, then environment and other interests of the general public and to define the licensure process through which an engineer becomes licensed to practice engineering and to provide professional services and products to the public. As with many other professions and activities, engineering is often a restricted activity.

Génie mécanique

Le génie mécanique (ou l'ingénierie mécanique) désigne l'ensemble des connaissances liées à la , au sens physique (sciences des mouvements) et au sens technique (étude des mécanismes). Ce champ de connaissances va de la conception d'un produit mécanique au recyclage de ce dernier en passant par la fabrication, la maintenance, etc. Données dans l'ordre du cycle de vie d'un produit mécanique. Conception de produit : analyse fonctionnelle, dessin industriel, conception assistée par ordinateur.

The impact of different methods of increasing the intensity of compassion in engineering ethics cases

Roland John Tormey, Nihat Kotluk

Despite the growing interest in emotions in engineering education, empirical research on incorporating them into engineering ethics education is limited. Therefore, we designed this experimental study to assess how different methods for integrating compass ...

Creep/fatigue/relaxation of angle-ply GFRP composite laminates

Anastasios Vassilopoulos

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are used in engineering structures of several domains, such as wind energy, bridges, and automotive industry. Usually such material systems include polymeric matrices and exhibit behavior that is sensitive to the l ...
