APEGGA members keep proving their south-of-the-border value with outstanding performance in Fundamentals of Engineering exams. In the second round of exams proctored in Alberta by Canadians, all 51 members passed, said Milt Petruk, P.Eng., PhD, APEGGA’s examinations manager.

The October 2003 writing had only one person of 67 fail.

The FE exams are the first step towards licensure by U.S. state boards. Through an agreement with the National Council of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors, APEGGA now proctors the exams. In the past, this required Montana State Board representatives travelling to Edmonton.

Average score in the April exams was 82.1 per cent, Dr. Petruk reported. The lowest was 71 per cent, the highest 96 per cent. Four writers scored 90 per cent or better.
