The National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) is currently seeking licensed industrial and systems engineers to participate in a professional activities and knowledge study, or PAKS, for the PE Industrial and Systems exam. I believe many of you in this community might fit into this category.
The results of this online survey will be used to update specifications for the exam, which is used throughout the United States for licensing purposes. NCEES requires a cross section of licensed professional engineers practicing industrial and systems engineering—including those working in industry, consulting, the public sector, and academia—to complete an online survey about the tasks and knowledge required of a licensed industrial or systems engineer with four to six years of experience to practice in a manner that safeguards the health, safety, and welfare of the public.
The survey can be completed in approximately 30 minutes. For access to the online survey, visit ncees.org/ISPE. For more information, contact NCEES Exam Development Engineer Susan Cline, P.E., at scline@ncees.org or 864-654-6824.

Hello everyone, I am currently conducting research on the application of the methodology of failure analysis.

I request your help in answering the following question: In your opinion, There is a unique failure analysis methodology?, or there are several? And whom rules the way this or those methodology/ies must be applied?

Hello I am a Property Casualty Actuary, education BSME Rice '85. I would like to start a dialogue among ME and P&C actuaries around the impact of IoT on insurance and risk analysis and pricing. Is SERAD the right division of ASME? Many thanks
