NCEES seeks industrial and systems engineers’ expertise and advice

NCEES is seeking industrial and systems engineers to participate in a series of two anonymous online surveys: one for the FE Industrial and Systems exam, and one for the PE Industrial and Systems exam.

Every 6–8 years, NCEES reviews its exam content for each exam we offer. This year, the FE Industrial and Systems exam has entered into a knowledge content review, and the PE Industrial and Systems exam has entered into a PAKS (professional activities and knowledge study) at the same time.

NCEES requires a cross section of engineers practicing industrial and systems engineering—including those working in industry, consulting, the public sector, and academia—to complete the surveys. Specifically, the FE Industrial and Systems exam survey is open to licensed engineers as well as non-licensed faculty members, while the PE Industrial and Systems exam survey is open to licensed engineers only. Each survey is estimated to take 20–30 minutes. It is important that we have as much participation as we can in both surveys and would appreciate your input.

The FE Industrial and Systems survey will be open until April 27, 2026, while the PE Industrial and Systems survey will be open until June 12, 2026. Please help us spread the word about these important studies by sharing this email with colleagues who are industrial and systems engineers. NCEES sincerely thanks you for your contribution to ensure that the FE Industrial and Systems exam and the PE Industrial and Systems exam are reflective of the current practice of industrial and systems engineering.

The Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE.org) has agreed to award a professional development hour (PDH) for time spent taking the surveys. The survey results will remain anonymous, but each survey will allow you to opt in by entering an email address where your PDH certificate can be sent.
