Hi John, Having completed the UM-Rolla EMC Certificate Program and being a registered P.Eng. in Canada, perhaps I can share my perspective on this one.
The EMC Certificate Program offered at UMR is very in-depth. The program stresses fundamental understanding of EMC principles with a strong focus on modern design issues. There is a 50-50 balance between lectures and lab work in terms of total hours, however I seem to recall spending much more time on the homework assignments for the lecture portions. The P.Eng.(Canadian version of P.E.) is more like a license to practice engineering in Canada as defined by legal statute. It also has much broader focus than an industry certification or specialist education program. An EMC specialist under provincial regulations might be registered as an Electrical Engineer. I would imagine P.E. licensure in the U.S. is probably along similar lines. The industry-type NARTE EMC Engineer certification is certainly interesting. The academic and experience qualifications, as another poster indicated, appear similar to those required for P.E. licensure in some states. Of course, the exams would obviously be very different. Has anyone here actually written both the P.E. and NARTE EMC Engineer exams and care to comment?
