Pierre, The National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) has a fundamental, and advanced specialized examinations for candidates to become certified as registered professional engineers.
A license as a registered professional engineer is now required to practice civil engineering in most if not all states in the USA. That requirement applies to civil engineers who work as land surveyors because of potential legal disputes, I believe. Get copies of recent (or specimen) NSPE examinations which are in the public domain and use them as proof to your professors that classroom instruction in SI is *essential* because of the large number of problems in SI-only!
