Thanks In Tension.
You've summed up why the CWEng is attractive to me, as I've never had the time or means to get a degree.
I've built a resume through wide ranging experience over the years that negates the need for a degree, including an SCWI, but I think a CWEng would be a good addition. I like the fact that I can get that cert simply be demonstrating my knowledge through passing the "Final Exam", without having to go through years of collegiate pre-requisite courses to get to that point.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think that having that cert would make me qualified to start passing myself off as a PE, it's just a value adding resume addition.
The thing that concerns me about being able to pass the exam is the mathematics, which is not my strong suit. I intend to take some of the necessary collegiate math courses as part of my study regimen, but would love to discuss the exam with someone who's taken it in order to help me ensure I'm concentrating on the right things.
AWS B5.16 does a pretty good job of detailing the body of knowledge, but every little bit helps.
How about you JWInspect? Not trying to hijack your post, just adding comments, trying to drum up responses. Why are you interested in CWEng?
