Kglover,
Because of your work experience as a quality engineer you should have no trouble qualifying to take the Metallurgy/Materials exam. Many people who take the exam have a background in mechanical engineering (myself included) but work in the materials field. The CWI will definitely help...
It depends on your type of work, and if you want to continue to do quality department work. I'm assuming you are doing QC as related to materials, if this is the case then a PE in Metallurgy / Materials Engineering would be a good fit. However, if you see yourself getting into aspects of...
Honestly the best books for review are the basic intro to materials science book by callister and metallurgy for the non-metallurgist. Yes, information published by TMS was useful in preparation.
That's unfortunate. In this day and age to stay competitive in the market you need to have advanced degrees (M.S., Ph.D.) plus experience and licensing. I hope you are finding some part of your part time work interesting.
I have to respectfully disagree. The reason for the reduction in metallurgical engineering programs is because Universities are focused on developing curriculum that encompasses the breadth and depth of the material science and engineering field that cover metals, alloys, polymers, composites...
Hello!
Calling all Materials engineers who are interested in taking, or have taken the Metallurgy / Materials PE Exam. I wanted to introduce myself and my team. My name is Nikhil Kar and I am a Registered Professional Mechanical Engineer and Registered Professional Metallurgical / Materials...
