Learning outcomes

What you'll be able to do

Explain the role, responsibilities, and core principles of a Certified Quality Engineer and how CQE certification advances professional practice.

Apply statistical methods for data analysis, including descriptive statistics, probability distributions, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, and regression analysis.

Design and analyze experiments (DOE) to identify key factors, optimize processes, and improve product performance.

Implement Statistical Process Control (SPC) using control charts for variables and attributes to monitor and maintain process stability.

Perform measurement systems analysis (MSA), including Gage R&R, to evaluate measurement variability and ensure data integrity.

Calculate and interpret process capability and performance indices (Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk) and use them to assess conformance to specifications.

Use reliability engineering concepts and life-data analysis (Weibull, MTBF, MTTR) to predict product/service durability and plan improvements.

Apply root cause analysis tools (5 Whys, Fishbone/Ishikawa, fault tree analysis) and structured problem-solving (8D, A3) to resolve quality issues.

Develop and execute Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to identify potential failure modes, assess risk, and prioritize corrective actions.

Plan and implement acceptance sampling strategies and inspection/testing practices, and understand ANSI/ASQ sampling standards.

Implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA), change control, and control plans to sustain improvements and prevent recurrence.

Integrate Lean and Six Sigma DMAIC methodologies to reduce waste, variability, and cost while improving process performance.

Apply quality management system concepts (including ISO 9001) and audit techniques to ensure compliance and continuous improvement.

Evaluate and manage supplier quality, including supplier selection, qualification, performance monitoring, and incoming inspection strategies.

Use quality tools such as Pareto analysis, flowcharts, histograms, scatter plots, and affinity diagrams to analyze and communicate findings.

Prepare effectively for the CQE exam through exam strategies, study planning, practice questions, and familiarity with reference standards and formulas.

Understand measurement uncertainty, calibration principles, and metrology best practices to support accurate inspection and testing.

Assess risk using tools like Risk Priority Number (RPN) and other risk-based thinking approaches to prioritize quality efforts.

Demonstrate professional and ethical responsibilities in quality engineering, including data integrity, reporting, and stakeholder communication.
