The National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) intends to transition the SE Exam to a computer-based test (CBT). NCEES began the process of transitioning its licensing exams to a CBT format in 2011, and the SE exam is the last to undergo the change. Starting in 2024, the current two-section, 16-hour Structural Exam will be replaced with the new computer-based test. But here’s the rub: the new exam will be expanded to four sections and a length of 21 hours.
