Examination, a reminder from
your Examiners
‘The work you are about to start has many features:
in common with other examinations which you have
‘tackled successfully but it also has some which are
Unusual
‘As in every examination you must follow carefully the
NOTES FOR CANDIDATES set out for your guidance
‘on the front cover of this paper; allocate the available
‘ume sensibly and set out your work in a logical and,
‘lear way.
“The unusual requirement of the examination is that
‘you demonstrate the validity ofthe training and
‘experience that you have acquired in recent years.
‘The Institution must be satisfied that you are able
‘to bring all the various skils you are expected to
possess to the effective solution of structural design
problems — whether or not the problem is presented
in terms that are within your actual experience.
Chartered Structural Engineers must have the ability
to design and a faciity to communicate their design
intentions. Where you ate reauired to ist and discuss
possible structural solutions you must show by
brief, clear, logical and systematic presentation that
‘you understood the general structural engineering
Principles involved.
In selecting and developing your design you should
‘also remember the guidance given in the Institution's
report, Structural design - achieving excellence, and
in particular:
(1) “the structure must be safe",
(2) *a.q00d design has cortan typical features —
simply, uty and necessity"
(@) “the structure must full its intended function”.
I you have ditficuity in deciding the correct
interpretation of a question. pay particular attention to
point 6. notes to candidates, on the front cover. The
‘examiners wil take into account your interpretation.
and the design you base on this ~if this is clearly
stated at the beginning of your answer.4 Chartered Membership Examination
