INTRODUCTION

In 1995 The National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) approved the offering of a national examination for professional licensure of naval architects and marine engineers (NAME) with The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers as the sponsoring organization. A survey of the Societys membership was conducted to determine the range of subject matter of importance to practice in this field and an examination specification was developed and published. In the October, 1998 and April, 1999 issues of Marine Technology and SNAME NEWS, articles were presented by the then President, Jose Femenia, discussing various aspects of the examination for Professional Engineer Licensure in Ship Design Engineering (SDE),. The first Principles and Practice Examination was given on October 29, 1999. In 2001, the name was changed and thenceforth is identified as Naval Architecture-Marine Engineering (NAME). In an effort to assist the Societys membership in their exam preparation, some study materials were developed and presented on the SNAME Web Site that are concerned with some subject areas of the examination specification (the examination specification was published in the Marine Technology issue Volume 35, Number 4, of October, 1998). Since 2001, an annual examination has been administered in April of each year by the various licensing jurisdictions authorized to offer a Principles and Practices examination in this field of licensure. During 2005 and 2006, a second survey of the naval architecture and marine engineering field was conducted to assess needed changes in requirements for abilities, knowledge and practices. Based on this survey, a revised examination specification was developed and implemented in April of 2008.

Obtaining a Professional Engineer license in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering is one of the biggest steps to be taken in establishing your position in the field. The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, in cooperation with the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES), is pleased to be of help as you prepare yourself for the examination. This Study Guide will provide you with important information on what, how, and when to do it and who to contact for additionally needed information.

The Society encourages its non-licensed membership to consider sitting for the PE exam in Naval Architecture-Marine Engineering next April. Application deadlines vary by jurisdiction and in some jurisdictions are as early as six months prior to the exam. Members must contact their licensing boards to determine whether or not their jurisdiction will be offering the exam, and for the examinee qualifications, application deadlines, and application fees. Contact information for the licensing boards, as well as other information pertaining to professional licensure, can be found on the website for the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying at http://www.ncees.org. It is understood that approximately 42 states and other jurisdictions offer the NAME examination to qualified applicants. In the event that a member's jurisdiction does not offer the NAME examination, it is worthy of note that, since the examination is national in scope, the state or other jurisdiction may offer registration by comity if the examinee passes the examination administered by another jurisdiction. This information should be available from the local licensing board.

Beginning in 2002, a Professional Engineer Review Course (PERC) has been presented each year to assist those preparing to take the NAME examination. Those interested in registering for a PERC offering should go online at www.snamelearning.org, or contact SNAME headquarters.

The examination specification has four main categories, Engineering Fundamentals, 25%, Naval Architecture, 30%, Marine Engineering, 26% and Common, 19%. Each of these categories is further subdivided into topic areas, each of which is weighted within the above noted amounts. The study materials that are presented in the PERC typically cover more than one subject area at a time; some presentations are of a more general nature while problems concerned with a specific subject area will also be included from time to time. Problem solutions and reference suggestions are also given, but not necessarily with the initial presentation of subject area materials. The PERC ends with a set of sample problems and solutions in the format of the NAME exam. (For those wishing to use the SNAME Web Page materials as a study guide, it should be noted that these materials have not been updated recently, although it is intended that further development will be done when the new SNAME web software is installed, as primary work has been directed toward continuing development

of the PERC). Marine electrical engineers should note that the NAME exam has only about a 5 percent focus on electrical equipment, load analysis, distribution, energy conversion and emergency systems. Therefore, marine electrical engineers might find licensure in electrical engineering more appropriate for their needs. They should refer to the NCEES web site at http://www.ncees.org for further guidance. NAME examination questions have been authored by a wide variety of the Societys currently licensed and widely scattered membership so that it may not be possible to respond rapidly or to all questions. Submitted questions and responses will be added to the Web Page materials when they become available, but without attribution.

It is important to note that the examination preparation is ongoing and will continue to be so. P.E. members are requested to submit to SNAME Headquarters their latest ideas and suggestions regarding subject matter and specific questions that may be suitable for use in future examinations. Any efforts will be greatly appreciated.

To start with exam preparation, the prospective examinee should collect an appropriate selection of the professional references summarized below:

Introduction to Naval Architecture, E. Tupper, 1996, INA/SNAME Principles of Naval Architecture, E.V. Lewis, 1988, SNAME Ship Design and Construction, R. Taggart, 1980, SNAME Ship Design and Construction, T. Lamb, 2003, SNAME Ship Production, R.L. Storch, C.P. Hammon, H.M. Bunch & R.C. Moore, 1995, SNAME Fiberglass Boat Design and Construction, R.J. Scott, 1996, SNAME Marine Engineering, R.L. Harrington, 1992, SNAME Elements of Ocean Engineering, R.E. Randall, 1997, SNAME Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels, American Bureau of Shipping, (ABS) Rules for Building and Classing Plastic Vessels, 1978, ABS Rules for Building and Classing High Speed Planing Craft, 1997, ABS U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Titles 33 and 46 (CFR 33 and CFR 46)

Additional reference recommendations are provided in the PERC Units and new or updated texts are in development by the Society and information concerning the availability of these materials may be obtained by contacting SNAME Headquarters at (201) 499-5056.

For those wishing to have specific questions answered concerning the examination subject areas and study materials, an e-mail to btrentham@sname.org or FAX message to (201) 798-4975 at SNAME Headquarters will be responded to as soon as and to the extent possible. It should be noted that examination questions have been and are generally authored by a wide variety of the Societys currently licensed and widely scattered membership so that it may not be possible to respond rapidly or to all questions. Further, the examinations are copywrited by NCEES and are not available for public review or discussion.

Eligibility The primary purpose of licensure is to protect the public health, safety and welfare. 55 United States jurisdictions (all 50 states as well as The District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, The U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and The Northern Marianas Islands) have enacted professional engineer licensing statutes that are administered by appointed licensing boards. The passing of license examinations provides one means of measuring the professional competence of candidates, however the various licensing jurisdictions generally require a minimum 12 years of experience in order to become qualified to take the Principles and Practice examination. Eight (8) years of experience is usually credited to those applicants who have graduated from an ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) accredited engineering program, and additional

experience is credited for completion of advanced engineering degree requirements at an accredited institution. Some states now require graduation from an accredited engineering program. In some states, possessing an earned doctoral degree in an engineering discipline satisfies the education and experience requirement. Most jurisdictions also require that candidates pass an examination on the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) in order to be qualified to sit for the P.E. license. While some states do not require passing the FE examination in order to become qualified to take the Principles and Practice examination, it should be kept in mind that if in your career you move your practice from one jurisdiction to another, licensing by comity may not be possible if you have not passed the FE Exam. Licensing qualification requirements vary from state to state (jurisdiction to jurisdiction) and several states do not offer examinations in all engineering fields, so a candidate needs to contact the appropriate licensing board to obtain specific information on requirements and application forms. To obtain addresses and Fax numbers of the licensing boards, see the survey results given below, or visit the NCEES home page at www.ncees.org, or call (800) 250-3196. In the information below, there are summary notes presented on the various jurisdictions, indicating whether NAME licensure is offered and dates for making application to the licensing boards to become qualified and authorized to take the examination. Most states use examination administration agencies to proctor the examination. Professional Credential Services, Inc. in Tennessee

*Licenses issued as a discipline-specific engineer restricted in practice in a specific field, which is usually the discipline of the professional examination taken for licensure. **As a professional engineer, allowed to practice in his/her area(s) of competency, regardless of which discipline of the professional examination was taken for licensure. As indicated in the table above, the deadlines for filing applications vary widely from state to state and you should allow ample time to assemble the required data and complete the application process. Description of Examination Examination Schedule The NCEES examination in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering is in a multiple-choice, no choice format and is given only in the spring of each year, typically the second, third, or fourth Friday of April. You should contact your state board to determine specific dates and locations. A summary of currently planned Future P.E. Examination Dates for Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering is given below:

Friday, April 24, 2009 Friday, April 12, 2013 Friday, April16, 2010 Friday, April 11, 2014 Friday, April 8, 2011 Friday, April 17 2015 Friday, April 13, 2012 Friday, April 15, 2016 The Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination is held on the Saturday following the Friday of the P.E. Exam. Examination Content The Principles and Practice examination in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (NAME) covers a broad range of subject matter, the foundations for which are developed in the academic programs of accredited curricula. The table below indicates the subject areas covered in the examination along with their approximate examination weighting. The NAME examination is 8 hours in duration and given in an open-book style, however, unbound materials are generally not allowed and you should find out from your state board what restrictions they may have on materials that may be brought into the examination room. The examination is composed of 80 multiple-choice questions, 40 in the A.M. session and 40 in the P.M. session. The questions are estimated to take approximately 6 minutes to answer, on average, and generally require some computation to be carried out. All questions are independent and equally weighted, so time management is important. If a problem solution is not immediately apparent, it is usually wisest to skip to the next one and return later when time might still be available. EXAMINATION SPECIFICATION Refer to the table below for the Examination Specification and Subject Area weighting:

V Notes:

1. The examination is developed with problems that will require a variety of approaches and methodologies including design, analysis and application. Some problems may require knowledge of engineering economics.

2. The knowledge areas specified under 1, 2, 3, or as e.g. are examples of kinds of knowledge, but they are not exclusive or exhaustive categories.

3. This examination contains a total of eighty (80) multiple-choice questions. Examinee works all questions.

Examination Development Examination Validity In order to assure the validity of the Principles and Practices examination, a survey of practitioners was conducted in 1995-96 in which the critically required knowledges and skills were identified. The results of the survey analysis allowed the subject areas and their weightings to be determined. The survey will be repeated periodically in order to keep the requirements current with developments in the field. Based on the examination specification, examination questions are developed by and selected for inclusion in an examination by a group of currently licensed practitioners. The questions are multiply reviewed to insure appropriateness, completeness and accuracy. Examination Content Outlines

Due to the breadth and depth of knowledges and skills required for the practice of naval architecture and marine engineering, the subject areas covered in the examination typically include multiple elements, only a few of which can in any examination be adequately covered. Thus, there are significant differences in the content of questions covering a subject area in succeeding examinations, though the questions are intended to give as broad coverage as possible. Examination Preparation and Review The questions are submitted by working professionals and put into the approved NCEES format by SNAME staff. Upon assembly, the examination is sent to NCEES for preparation in the proper format, returned to SNAME for proofing and finally back to NCEES for preparation in the examination booklet format.

Minimum Competency In order to properly assess minimally competent performance, it is necessary to establish a standard that can be used in assessing the minimum level of knowledge and skill required to protect the public health and safety. This standard is then used to arrive at a satisfactory level of examination performance. This is done through the conduct of a Cut-Score Study in which a broadly diverse group is tasked with arriving at a standard and using that standard to assess the expected performance of the examinees. The analysis of the study results allows the determination of a recommended pass-point for the examination, which is presented to the NCEES Board for its decision. The current standard (May 2008) is presented below:
