NCEES formed the Emerging Engineers and Surveyors Group to connect young engineers and surveyors with NCEES to provide feedback on the licensure process and discuss topics relevant to the future of the engineering and surveying professions.
NCEES continued to maintain strong relationships by participating in other societies’ conferences and workshops, building relationships with international organizations, and advancing licensure to ensure the protection of the public welfare.
