Description

The PE Structural Exam Tests For A Minimum Level Of Competency In Structural Engineering. This pencil-and-paper exam uses separate vertical and lateral components to test your ability to safely design buildings or bridges, especially in areas of high seismicity and high wind. NCEES considers the Structural exam to be a Principles and Practices of Engineering exam. However, not all jurisdictions accept it as such. Examinees should check with their licensing board directly to determine whether the Structural exam is accepted as part of that jurisdiction's licensure requirements.
