The future of licensure for civil engineers is uncertain. The P.E. Exam looks a lot different as of this past spring – with a new focus on specialized areas and a reduced emphasis on a breadth of knowledge. A new mutual recognition agreement between NCEES and the UK Engineering Council could change professional opportunities for engineers around the world. And as seen recently in Arizona, challenges continue around the United States to restructure or even eliminate licensure boards. Meanwhile, the ongoing civil engineering workforce crisis demands everchanging skills for engineers and modified hiring strategies for firms.
