announce that Benny Epstein has completed the requirements to be named an ASQ-Certified Quality Engineer (ASQ
CQE). As such, Benny Epstein has reached a significant level of professional recognition, indicating a proficiency in
and a comprehension of quality engineering principles and practices. Individuals who earn this certification are

“ASQ provides certification as a way to provide formal recognition to professionals who have demonstrated an
understanding of, and a commitment to, quality techniques and practices in their job and career,” explains E. David
Spong, ASQ president. “This is a great accomplishment and, although not a formal registration or licensure, it
represents a high level of peer recognition.”
A Certified Quality Engineer (CQE) is a professional who understands the principles of product and service quality,
evaluation, and control. In order to sit for the CQE examination, a candidate must have at least eight years of training
and on-the-job experience in one or more areas of quality, with a minimum of three years in a decision-making
position. CQEs develop and implement quality systems, plan, control and monitor product and process quality, use
reliability and risk management tools, and apply a wide spectrum of quantitative analyses to resolve quality issues.
Since 1968, when the first ASQ certification examination was given, more than 170,000 individuals have taken the
path to reaching their goal of becoming ASQ-Certified in their field or profession, including many of who have attained
more than one designation. To learn more about ASQ’s Certified Quality Engineer program, visit
