NCEES Seeks Responses to Professional Activities and Knowledge Study (PAKS)

Administrator · Post by **Administrator** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 7:34 am

NCEES (the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying) is conducting a survey to improve our understanding of the current knowledge required for newly graduated surveyors and surveyors in training, and allow us to make sure the Fundamentals of Surveying (FS) examinations reflect current best practice. Your answers will be treated confidentially, and reported only as grouped data. Be assured that your input adds to the integrity of the process. We appreciate you sharing your expertise with us. It is important to capture as many aspects of fundamental surveying as possible. It should take less than 30 minutes to complete the survey. If you need to complete the survey in more than one session, you may return to the survey if you use the same computer and have "cookies" enabled. The survey will return to the place you last exited. Please DO NOT hit "Done" on the very last page of the survey before completing the survey, otherwise, you will not be allowed to go back. When you are ready, click the following link, or copy it and paste it into your browser.

I just did this survey and it really only took about 10 minutes.

There is one portion where you tell them what percentage of the exam each subject should be and it has to total to 100. But there is nothing to track the total as you go and there is something like 15 categories. That part of it takes the most time because it won't let you move on if you don't add to 100.
