📐 CQE — Certified Quality Engineer (Exam-Prep)

An independent, free exam-preparation course that walks through the seven domains of the publicly published ASQ Certified Quality Engineer Body of Knowledge — management and leadership, the quality system, product and process design, product and process control, continuous improvement, quantitative methods and tools, and risk management. It blends visual lessons, worked formulas, original self-check items and a 10-question exam-style final. It is awareness/preparation only and is not the official ASQ course or exam. It maps to ASQ CQE Body of Knowledge. The course is organized into 12 modules, ending with a final exam (pass mark 70%). It is independent, free exam-preparation training — not an official or accredited review course.

Learning objectives

• Understand that this is independent CQE exam-prep over the public ASQ Body of Knowledge, not the official ASQ course or exam
• Link the quality management system, leadership, quality culture and the cost-of-quality model to business value
• Build quality into products and processes with DFMEA, PFMEA, design reviews and control plans
• Distinguish control of product (inspection, MSA, acceptance sampling) from control of process (SPC, capability)
• Read variable and attribute control charts and judge capability with Cp, Cpk, Pp and Ppk
• Apply probability, distributions, hypothesis testing, DOE and regression as quantitative methods
• Drive improvement through DMAIC, lean, the seven quality tools and root-cause analysis
• Quantify reliability and manage risk with the bathtub curve, FMEA, RPN and FTA
• Sit a 10-question exam-style final (80% to pass) spanning all seven domains
