NCEES celebrates National Surveyors Week

March 20, 2011

National Surveyors Week, which is taking place March 20–26, is designed to raise awareness of the surveying profession. NCEES encourages professional surveyors to promote their profession to students and recently introduced a new Surveying Speakers Kit to make it easy to explain the licensure process for surveyors. If you are interested in obtaining a Surveying Speaker's Kit or becoming a speaker, visit the NCEES Outreach page and complete a contact form.

In addition, the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping has a Web site, surveyingcareer.com, with information geared toward middle- and high-school students. This site shows what surveyors do and provides resources for persons interested in learning more about the profession.

Twice a year, thousands of candidates seeking professional surveying licensure attempt either the FS or PS exams at sites throughout the country. Visit the NCEES Exams page to learn more about these exams. For general information about the licensing process for professional surveyors, visit the Licensure page.
