Engineering Licensing Examination, a nationwide test created by the National Council of
Engineering Examiners.
Although Clarkson provided free space for the State Education Department's
Examination Bureau to administer and proctor the examination, the College did not involve
itself in the examination proper; it was proctored by local individuals who were not connected
to Clarkson in any way.
Through his 10 years of service on the New York State Engineering and Land
Surveying Licensing Board, Associate Dean of Engineering Edward T. Misiaszek '52 (CEE)
was able to convince the Department of Education that Clarkson should offer this exam on
campus beginning in 1975. It has been offered on campus every year since.
This exam set Clarkson apart, for no other campus in the State "housed" the first eight
hours of the examination on the day it was given throughout the United States. This signal
honor stemmed from two facts. First, Clarkson had a large number of students who usually sit
for this examination, and second, the location nearest to Potsdam where it was offered was
Syracuse, making unusual expenses in time and money for any Clarkson student wishing to
take it. Because this exam began at 8:00 a.m. and ended at 5:00 p.m., any student wishing to
take it would have to go to Syracuse and spend the previous night, or arise at 4:00 a.m. to drive
there. By 1994, the exam also was being given down state at the United States Military
Academy at West Point.
