During the NCSEA 19th Annual Conference held in Oklahoma City, October 20‐22, the Member

Organization Representatives in attendance discussed and unanimously approved the NCSEA Policy on

Separate Structural Engineering Licensure. The Policy encourages all jurisdictions to adopt legislation

that defines the practice of structural engineering and restricts it to those who have demonstrated

competence by licensure as a Structural Engineer. The Policy supports the use of the NCEES 16‐hour

examination and the NCEES Model Law Structural Engineer as the basis for licensure of Structural

Engineers. Within the Policy, NCSEA also encourages equitable transitioning of engineers currently

practicing structural engineering.
