Engineering Management Certification courses offered


Beginning Nov. 1, ASME's Continuing Education Institute is offering live and online courses to prepare those who are interested in becoming engineering managers for taking the Engineering Management Certification International program exam.

Live courses are also scheduled to begin next spring — in Las Vegas in March and Houston in April.

The program, developed by ASME's Continuing Education Institute, offers two levels of certification. The Certified Engineering Management Fundamentals exam is for engineers, scientists and other technical professionals who plan to become engineering managers. The Certified Management Engineering Professional exam is for advanced engineering managers who want to enhance their professional careers.

The exams will be offered early next year. Exam takers will be questioned on eight areas: market research, technology updates and environmental scanning, developing products, services and processes, planning and adjusting business strategies, engineering operations and change, financial resources and procurement, marketing and sales, leading individuals and engineering project teams, and professional responsibility.

Seven prep courses that the Continuing Education Institute will offer next month will cover all eight test areas. All courses will be offered live, as an instructor-led online course, or as a self-study online course. All but two courses will last two days. Those registering for all seven courses will be charged a discounted fee.

"Market Research and Sales" is a three-day course that will be taught by Dllona Shortle, MBA, a professor specializing in marketing management, advertising management and sales management.

The subjects that this course will cover include market analysis, best practices and lessons learned, business research, forecasting tools and techniques, risk analysis, and pricing strategies.

The charge for the live course will be $1,000 for ASME members; $1,200 for nonmembers.

The fee for the instructor-led online course will be $600. The fee for the online self-study course will be $450.

Three days of intensive review will also be available to people preparing for the CEMF or the CEMP exams. The EMCI Test Prep Immersion will offer a review of eight domains and 49 sub-domain knowledge areas in preparation for the CEMF and CEMP exams. The application fee is $75. The exam fees for first time test takers will be $345 for the CEMF and $245 for re-examination. It will be $525 for the CEMP and $395 for re-examination.

"Planning and Adjusting Business Strategies" is a two-day course taught by Stephen Smith, Ph.D. Attendees will learn about strategic destinations and planning, domestically and internationally. The class will also cover system design and life cycle engineering, partnering and outsourcing strategies, financial risk management strategies, and models for new technologies.

"Developing Products, Services and Processes," will be another two-day course. The topics, to be taught by David Tennant, will include interdependence of engineering disciplines, manufacturability: pilot production and feedback process, product feasibility, planning, development tools, design for manufacturing, and assembly/disassembly procedures. The seminar will also cover how computer and software systems can determine product feasibility.

The fee for the live two-day course will be $800 for ASME members; $1,000 for nonmembers. The charge for the instructor-led online course will be $400. The fee for self-study online will be $250.
