Curriculum

IACPEs curriculum was designed with a focus on the Engineer and Employer.

CPE Requirements
The foundation of IACPEs curriculum started as lecture material for undergraduate and graduate engineering courses. The content has been the basis for papers and presentations at international engineering conferences and has been implemented by several multinational engineering firms as their in-house training programs for their new engineers. 

For the Engineer

IACPE designed a curriculum that validates all your existing skills and knowledge, but does not tie you down for weeks in the basic fundamentals of engineering.  We trust your minimum of three (3) years of STEM education will allow you to quickly move through the fundamentals and on to the more practical portions of the curriculum.  

The heart of IACPEs program is designed for you to learn and master the many practical real world engineering concepts that can be expected by a mid-to-senior level engineer. In Level II and III, half of the required modules are selected by the student, giving you the flexibility to focus on new subject areas or to complete a mastery of a known subject.

This curriculum will require you to master all the subjects from basic fundamentals to real world concepts.  It will challenge you with multiple choice tests, design projects, and interactive seminars or webinars.  

To complete your CPE Level III you are require to pass an oral assessment.  During this one-on-one assessment you will visually and verbally demonstrate your working knowledge of the course material by solving a practical engineering problem in front of one of our industry or academic board members.

For the Employer

IACPE has designed a curriculum that is transparent and clearly rooted in engineering fundamentals in order to validate for the employer the academic capabilities of the CPE holder. IACPE put front and center an emphasis on ethics and safety in every course.  You can view examples of course material, see example quiz and test questions, along with an example of our required design project for CPE Level II graduates.  Some of the material in this program is likely to be more difficult than your employees saw during their undergraduate studies. This program will be too challenging for some, but for those that demonstrate a command over this material they will undoubtedly be valuable assets to your team.
