Designed Courses for potential Chief Engineers:

Due to possible future challenges in the field of Engineering, experienced leaders predicted that there will be an increased number of professional engineer needed in all industries. The reason being for this prediction would have two principal factors, “the current generation is approaching retirement and the challenges of future technology demand an even greater combination of breadth and depth of understanding” Engineering departments suggest resolving the particular situation with the design of a series of short courses, which allows potential Chief Engineers to acquire the skill needed for the job.

These courses for potential Chief Engineers are designed by engineers who had spent years in the field of engineering already, “To determine the topics that should be included in the certificate, the team undertook an analysis of existing company training materials that were being used for training their senior level project and systems engineers."

A similar training program for potential Chief Engineers, the Certified Chief Engineer (CCE) Training is also being developed by the National Association of Hotel & Lodging Engineers. The development process of CCE includes gathering the input of various hotel management companies and industry professions. CCE program is designed to provide a curriculum exclusively for hotel engineers and maintenance professionals.
