An e-mail from Point of Beginning (survyeing magazine) explains:
"NCEES is transitioning the FS and FE exams to computer-based testing (CBT)."
In English, and for non-survyeors it says:
The National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying is moving from offering paper-based Fundamentals of Surveying (
FS, first exam heading toward LS) and
FE (fundamental knowlege of engineering, first step if getting a PE) to computer based ones.
Like other tests we use in GIS, these will be taken at Pearson Vue centers. Keep an eye of that Pearson name; the company is working in every corner of education.

A Vietnam map was created with 1,500 students wearing blue uniforms standing on the Nha Trang beach Sunday to mark the start of this year’s Vietnam Sea and Islands Week in the city.
The Paracel and Spratly archipelagoes were included in the breathing map on Nha Trang City’s main square.

The joining students stood hand in hand firmly on the April 2 Square to convey the meaning of Vietnam’s territory.
I wonder if this is educational in any way?

Recently, Fox Valley Technical College students enrolled in Bruce Cecka's Surveying II class helped clarify the park's [Peninsula State Park, WI] infrastructure, including the 40-mile trail system. Forty students spent two days at Peninsula State Park, using a global positioning system to map everything from roads to sewer covers.

Kristin Somerville, 15, also a freshman [at Wausau Engineering & Global Leadership Academy], melded a variety of academic categories into her project. It was an interactive computer map that focused on the German concentration camps of the Holocaust.
She created a program that uses Google maps and allows the user to click on a map of Europe at camp sites to get information about those camps. The user can focus on the details of the camps, or widen the map to look at a larger area.
