National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying

Before you graduate, there is one particular exam administered by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) that you are encouraged to take and pass. The content of the exam is closely related to your curriculum. This is briefly introduced in the following section using contents published at the official NCEES site (www. ncees.org).

More than just intuition tells us how important materials are. In 1989 the National Research Council (NRC) prepared a report, Materials Science and Engineering for the 1990s (7) that examined in detail the impact of materials science on our national competitiveness. The NRC study surveyed eight major industries that together employed 7 million people in 1987 and had sales of more than 1.4 trillion. Additional millions of jobs in ancillary industries depend on the materials industry. Despite the very different needs for particular materials, the NRC survey also showed a remarkable consistency in generic and technological needs. Every industry surveyed expressed a clear need to produce new and traditional materials more economically and with a higher reproducibility and quality than is currently possible.
