    2025 SE3 Survey is Live!

    Join the conversation! This is the NCSEA SE3 Committee’s fourth nationwide survey targeted at structural engineers. The responses collected are valuable in understanding trends in our profession. 

    SE3’s mission is to attract and retain the best and brightest into our profession, and to ensure ALL structural engineers have a clear pathway to success. The SE3 survey is an ongoing effort to identify trends, understand the underlying factors, and initiate industry-wide conversations. The SEA-MW SE3 Committee will use the survey results to inform future programming and initiatives.

    Findings from past iterations of this survey included insight into why engineers leave the profession, the importance of mentorship, and the existence of a nuanced gender pay gap. NCSEA SE3’s past surveys are available here.

    Responses are anonymous and confidential, and data collected will not be linked to you or your employer/firm.
