The New 16-Hour NCEES Structural Exam—How We Got Here
Publication: Structures Congress 2011
Abstract
In April 2011, National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) will begin offering a new 16-hour Structural Examination to replace the Structural I and Structural II examinations. This new exam will also replace the state specific seismic structural examinations currently offered by California, Oregon, and Washington. The first half of this paper will focus on how and why the changes were made, including discussion of how different states use the current structural examinations, difficulties in mobility of structural licenses, the NCEES Structural Task Force, the NCEES Professional Activities and Knowledges Survey for the new 16-hour Structural Examination, and the new Test Specification. The second half of this paper will discuss the format of the new 16-hour Structural Examination, the new 16-hour Structural Examination writing committee, and how the new 16-hour Structural Examination is graded.
