The National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) is a national non-profit organization composed of engineering and land surveying licensing boards representing all U.S. states and territories. It is headquartered in Seneca, South Carolina, across Lake Hartwell from Clemson University.
NCEES is responsible for the administration of the exams that engineers must pass in order to become certified as a Professional Engineer. These include:
NCEES also prepares examinations for Land Surveyor licensing in the United States. These exams consist of:
In addition, NCEES assists with record keeping for those engineers and surveyors who already have a license. A Professional Engineer or a Professional Surveyor can request that NCEES submit his or her record to another state in order to be recognized as a Professional Engineer or Professional Surveyor within that state. This process keeps their respective records in one place to transmit from state to state as they work on different jobs in different states.
In September 2006, NCEES began offering an evaluations service to aid its member licensing boards. Through its Credentials Evaluations department, NCEES evaluates transcripts and other documents provided by candidates for licensure who have studied engineering outside the United States, comparing their academic backgrounds to the accreditation criteria used for corresponding degree programs in the U.S. The licensing boards then use this information in determining whether to grant the P.E. license.
NCEES sells Sample Questions and Solutions for each exam. The sample exams include questions that have been used on past exams and questions written just for study materials by those who create the exams to provide extra practice. The Supplied-Reference materials for the FE, FS, and PS exam are also available for purchase or digital download.
