Overview of the Program Content:
The Program will consist of the following:

• First, Mike will introduce the participants to Reliability Engineering using a slide presentation.  He will provide an overview of the following:
  • What a Reliability Engineer does;
  • What the ASQ CRE Certification and its Body of Knowledge (BoK) entail;
  • The Reliability and Risk Division (RRD), a community of 2,611 members (as of October 2021);
  • The training that RRD provides to Reliability Engineers;
  • The place of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) in Reliability Engineering in general and in the Technical Data Packages specifically; and
  • His own interest in the topic.
• Also, Mike will introduce the presentation “Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)” given by Tony Bryce, an instructor at Tec-Ease Inc., to the RRD Division in March 2020 that Mike attended at that time.
• Then, we will watch the recording of Tony Bryce’s GD&T presentation.  This presentation includes:
  • What is Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T);
  • How GD&T helps Design, Production, Inspection, and the Enterprise;
  • How Drawing Previews are conducted;
  • Where the technology is headed; and
  • What Tec-Ease brings to the table.
• Finally, Mike will do the following:
  • Summarize the concepts we have learned;
  • Answer the audience’s questions about those concepts, the ASQ CRE Certification, the RRD Division, and his own Reliability Engineering experience.

Notes:
The Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE) Certification is one of ASQ Certifications.  The ASQ Section 0511 conducted a Round Table Discussion on the topic of ASQ Certifications on 9 June 2021 (where Mike participated) and produced a Report on that topic.  You are welcome to review this Report as an additional reference here:
