NCEES seeks Agricultural and Biological professional engineers

NCEES and the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers are currently seeking licensed agricultural and biological engineers to participate in a professional activities and knowledge study, or PAKS, for the PE Agricultural and Biological exam. The results of this study will be used to develop specifications for the exam, which is used throughout the United States for licensing purposes.

NCEES requires a cross section of licensed professional engineers practicing agricultural and biological engineering—including those working in consulting, the public sector, and academia—to complete an online survey about the tasks and knowledge required of a licensed agricultural and biological engineer with 4 to 6 years of experience to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public. The survey can be completed in about 30 minutes.

Completed surveys should be submitted by September 9, 2013, at 8:00 p.m. EDT.

“These studies help NCEES ensure its licensing exams remain relevant to current professional practice,” explained Director of Exam Services Tim Miller, 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 P.E.s across all areas of agricultural and biological engineering.”
