Strong professionalism and great difficulty
Structural engineer examination is famous for its strong professionalism and great difficulty. It requires candidates to have a solid theoretical foundation and practical experience, and requires high breadth and depth of knowledge. According to statistics, the pass rate of registered structural engineers is low, only about 8%.
Combination of objective questions and subjective questions
The basic examination of the first-class registered structural engineer adopts the form of objective questions, that is, multiple-choice questions. The combination of subjective questions and objective questions in professional subjects requires candidates not only to choose answers, but also to write out the steps to solve problems. The basic examination adopts the closed-book method, and the professional examination allows candidates to bring relevant specifications and reference books into the examination room and conduct it in the open-book way.
Covers multiple modules
The first-level structural engineer professional examination is mainly subjective, with 40 questions in the morning and 40 questions in the afternoon, all of which are single-choice questions, with 1 point for each question and 80 points for the test paper. The examination covers reinforced concrete structure, steel structure, masonry structure and wood structure, bridge structure, foundation and foundation, high-rise building, towering structure and lateral action.
Extensive investigation of knowledge points
Structural engineering is regarded as the most difficult major in civil engineering, in which mechanics, theory, materials and structural mechanics are regarded as the three mountains of life. These subjects cover almost all science subjects and some engineering subjects, and the knowledge requirements of mathematics, physics and other subjects are equivalent to those of science students.
open-book examination
It is worth mentioning that the first-level professional examination for structural engineers is an open-book examination, and candidates are allowed to carry materials published by regular publishing houses such as standards, specifications, procedures and technical (design) manuals in the designated catalogue of professional examinations. Candidates should bring 2B pencils, black ink pens, triangles, erasers and calculators with silent and wordless programming functions when taking the exam, and answer in strict accordance with the requirements in the examination paper "Instructions for Candidates".
Low pass rate
To sum up, the structural engineer exam is difficult, but through hard work and correct learning methods, I believe that every candidate who is interested in becoming a structural engineer can break through the tight encirclement and realize his career dream.
