Book excerpt: The specimen examinations published herein are for the purpose of acquainting prospective candidates with the format and content of the qualifying examinations for Third or Second Assistant Engineer licenses. This examination format and content is part of a long-range project undertaken by the Coast Guard to modernize its licensing and certification program. This project began with a study of the overall testing program administered by the Coast Guard. This study concluded that basic changes were necessary in order to: (1) Eliminate obsolete examination content; (2) Include up-to-date examination content; (3) Reduce examination time; and (4) Insure objective grading. In order to eliminate obsolete and include current material, the Coast Guard solicited and received advice and assistance from all segments of the maritime industry (management, labor, training institutions, and government agencies) in revising examination content. The questions contained in the multiple choice examinations have been extensively reviewed by instructors from various union training programs, shipping company representatives, state sponsored training organizations, private upgrade schools, several maritime academies and actively sailing marine engineers. The reduction in administration time and the insurance of objective grading were accomplished by converting all portions of the examinations to a standardized multiple choice format.
