The EMCI Certification Handbook 1
Engineering Management Certification International – EMCITM
EMCIT M is a professional multidisciplinary global credentialing program that recognizes

competence of engineers, scientists, and technologists in engineering management based
on their qualification, examination result, and adherence of the Code of Engineering
Management Ethics and Professional Conduct.
While qualification refers to candidate’s education background and years of engineering

and/or engineering management practices, the examination result refers to candidate’s
performance on the EMCIT M exam, the passage of which indicates that the candidate has
mastered the minimum level of application of knowledge and skills needed to
successfully perform engineering management tasks.
In order to enhance and further develop certification holder’s competence in engineering

management, EMCIT M and the ASME Continuing Education Institute have developed
rigorous procedures for re-certification and rich courses for continuing professional
development.
EMCIT M Certification Center is a partnership organization of the American Society of

Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the
American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), and the American Institute of
Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineers (AIME). It is administered by ASME.
Engineering Management
The adva nces of science and technology have created a new profession – engineering
management. It is regarded as the art and science of planning, organizing, allocating
resources, directing and controlling activities that have a technological component. It
envelops the realms of product/service/process development and manufacturing, systems
engineering and development, and project management. In a business enterprise, it
includes generally the management of technology, business operations, and human
resources.
The unique nature of engineering management distinguishes engineering managers from

managers in other areas by the fact that they possess both ability to apply engineering
principles and skills in organizing and directing technical projects and people in
technical jobs.
TM
Purposes of EMCITM Certification
The purposes of EMCIT M certification are to initiate, establish, maintain and administer
the professional credentialing program – EMCIT M Certification, and to promote and
support engineering management professionals and the engineering management
profession. EMCIT M Certification seeks to:
• Initiate and establish a content valid and legally defensible professional

credentialing program to recognize competence, and set the best practice and
standards in, and promote engineering management profession;
• Grant recognition to those engineers, scientists, or engineering managers who

have the necessary qualification and empirical knowledge, skills needed to
successfully perform engineering management tasks and provide them with a
portable credential;
• Enhance and develop candidate’s experience and skills in engineering

management through re-certification and continuing professional development.
Benefits of EMCITM Certification
EMCIT M offers numerous benefits.
To industry and companies, it provides:
• A source of the best practices and high standards, methodology, and global
consistency in engineering management;
• Quality control of engineering managers across units & divisions within the
organization;
• A convenient and relatively reliable way in evaluating and identifying the
competence and strength of client, competitors, and engineering management
team;
• A cost effective way of validating and enhancing the continued competence of
your engineering management team;
• A profe ssional career path for engineers, scientists, and other technologists.
To individuals, it provides:
• A globally recognized and publicly accepted portable credential, evidence the

possession of the qualification and competence necessary to carry out
engineering management duties and tasks;
• The prestige for those who have the credential, and the inclusion of their names
into the largest and most prestigious group of certified professionals in the
engineering management community;
TM
• Enhance and ensure continued competence in engineering management through

re-certification and continuing professional training;
• A consistent standard that aligns the successful candidates with their peers across
industries, across countries, and across the globe;
• A professional and rewarding career path from engineering practice to
engineering management.
The Levels of EMCITM Certification and Eligibility Criteria
EMCIT M certification has of two levels: Engineering Management Certification

Fundamentals (EMCFTM), and Engineering Management Certification Professional
(EMCPT M)
Candidates applying for EMCFTM or EMCPT M designation must meet the qualification
requirements, pass the examination, and agree to abide by the Code of Engineering
Management Ethics and Professional Conduct.
The EMCF TM
If you are an early career engineer, scientist, or other technologist, and desire to make
engineering management as a career path, then the EMCFTM credential is right for you.
To qualify, you must hold a bachelor's degree or global equivalent in engineering,

science, or technology. This certification requires at least three years of engineering
practice, and passing the EMCFTM Exam. For candidates without a bachelor's degree, it
requires at least two years of education in engineering, science, or technology, plus five
years of engineering practice.
The EMCP TM
If you enjoy the prestige of being the best in engineering management, then you’ll
appreciate the professional advantages derived from attaining the EMCPT M status.
To qualify, you must hold a bachelor's degree or global equivalent in engineering,

science, or technology. This certification requires at least five years of engineering
practice, including at least two years of engineering management experience, and
passing the EMCPTM Exam. The education requirement above can be waived if you have
the EMCFTM Certification.
The EMCITM Examinations
There is one examination for each level of EMCIT M certification. One does not need to
hold the EMCF Certification before applying for the EMCP Certification.
TM
Purpose of the Examinations
The purpose of the EMCIT M examinations is to determine whether a candidate masters

the minimum level of application of empirical knowledge and skills needed to
successfully perform engineering management tasks. Based on the knowledge,
experience, and skills needed for a successful engineering management career, the Body
of Knowledge for Engineering Management Certification (EMC-BOK) has been
developed. The EMCIT M certification examinations are based on the Body of Kno wledge
(EMC-BOK) which has 8 domains, 49 knowledge areas, and 170 sub-knowledge areas.
Each sub-knowledge area, in turn, contains one or more pieces of empirical knowledge,
task(s) or skill(s). Every question on the EMCIT M examinations is molded on the
element(s) of the sub-knowledge area, and designed to determine candidate’s pass/fail or
ability for each such task or skill.
Through tutorials in test item construction, validation and cross validation of the
submitted test items, psychometric methods, and statistical analysis of the relevant data,
the EMCIT M Certification has developed sets of examinations that are both content valid
and legally defensible. Therefore, based on individuals’ performance on the
examination, all candidates can be set apart. Those who pass the EMCIT M examinations
are recognized to have the necessary knowledge, experience, and skills in successfully
performing engineering management tasks or duties, and hence competent in this
profession.
The Development of the EMCITM Examinations
The development of the EMCIT M examinations involves Job/Practice Analysis, test item
writing and validation, cross validation, and psychometric and statistical data analysis.
The purposes of the development process are to guarantee the validity and up to date of
the content, the linkage between test items and task skills categorized in EMC-BOK
domains, fairness between candidates of different cultures, consistency and
comparability of the examinations among different formats, locations, and time.
The ASME Continuing Education Institute (CEI) undertook the Job/Practice Analysis in
July 2003. First it convened a panel of thirteen engineering experts to develop a series of
domains categorizing knowledge, tasks and skills for competent engineering managers.
And then it surveyed about 10,000 engineers both at home and abroad regarding the
frequency of usage, importance or criticality of the tasks and skills in engineering
management. It concluded that there is a comprehensive, objective “body of knowledge”
on engineering management, and that a content valid, legally defensible assessment
examination can be constructed for certification.
The Examination Committee, including Subject Matter Expert (SMEs), was established
to construct and validate the test items based on the EMC-BOK, and followed by a
separate, independent group of SMEs to cross-validate the final test item bank to
guarantee the validity, editorial clarity, correct mark of level of difficulty, and proper
source of reference for each test item bank.
TM
After a minimum number of candidates have taken the tests, statistical analyses are
performed to establish the relevant difficulty level of each item, its reliability and
correlation with other items in each domain and the total test scores so as to guarantee
the fairness and comparability between relevant examinations.
Types of the Examination
The EMCIT M certification offers two types of examinations, namely the EMCPTM
certification examination and the EMCFT M certification examination. While the
EMCFT M examination emphasizes the fundamental aspects of engineering management,
the EMCPT M examination leans toward the empirical knowledge, skills of engineering
management.
Each exam is comprised of 150 multiple-choice questions. Although both exams share
the same EMC-BOK, the guidelines representing difficulty and knowledge area are
different for each type of test. (See Table: 1 for details)

The EMCIT M examinations are provided in a computer-based format and delivered

online at Prometric test centers throughout the world. In some countries and regions,
paper and pencil form of examination will be offered at the beginning, and migrate to
online test later.
The allotted time to complete is three (3) hours for each type of examination.
Passing Scores
The passing scores for both the EMCFTM and the EMCPT M examinations are 70%
correct on overall questions with no less than 50% correct answers in any one domain.
TM
The cut point represents the minimum application level of the knowledge and task skills
needed for competent engineering management. While the representation of knowledge
and task skills as well as the difficulty level may be modified among different
examinations, the cut point will remain the same on every EMCIT M Certification
examination.

such cases, candidates will have the opportunity to appeal. However, the decision based
on the outcome of an appeal is final.
Updating Contact Information
Address Changes
Both Authorization Letter to Test and score report are mailed to candidates' home
addresses. Therefore, EMCITM Certification Center should be notified immediately of
mailing address changes. Candidates can do so by email to: emci@asme.org, or by fax
at: (212) 591-7143.
Name Changes
To correct minor errors in your name (e.g., incorrect middle initial, missing hyphen) as
printed on your confirmation notice or Authorization Letter to Test, e- mail the
correction(s) to: emci@asme.org before the test date. For security reasons, other kinds of
name changes cannot be made online after the application has been submitted.
To change your name due to a legal name change, candidates must submit notarized
documentation to EMCITM Certification Center. Please do not send original, as these
documents will not be returned.
Extensions
The Authorization Letter to Test is valid for 3 months. Candidates who have not taken
the EMCIT M certification examination within the eligibility period may request an
extension or refund. An extension can be obtained by submitting a written extension
request prior to the eligibility expiration date. The request must include the reason for
the extension, and that all appointments with the examination contractor have been
cancelled. If the above conditions are met, a one-time three-month extension will be
given at no additional cost to the candidate. Candidates who allow their initial three-
month eligibility period to lapse and request an extension will be charged a reactivatio n
TM
fee for U.S.$30.00. Extensions will not be granted once the candidate’s eligibility period
has lapsed for more than a year. Such candidates will have to pay the full certification
fee again if they plan to take the certification examination in future.
Rescheduling, Cancellation, No-Shows
Candidates in North America who are canceling or rescheduling an examination

appointment must do so no later than noon (12:p.m. U.S. Eastern Standard Time), two
business days prior to the scheduled examination appointment. Example: To cancel an
examination scheduled for Thursday, you must notify the examination contractor by
12:00 noon U.S. Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday before the Thursday appointment.
When calling to cancel, candidates should call the examination contractor directly and
not the local sites at which they are scheduled to take the exam. Failure to contact the
examination contractor or failure to meet a scheduled appointment will result in the
forfeiture of the full examination fee. Contact telephone numbers for the examination
contractor can be located in eligibility letters that are sent to all qualifying candidates.
Candidates choosing to reapply after such forfeiture must submit a new application and
pay the full examination fee. Candidates outside North America wishing to cancel or
reschedule an examination appointment must check with the local examination
contractors.
Refund Policy
The EMCITM certification examination fee can be refunded if a candidate decides to

withdraw from the test within the period of eligibility, or a candidate is found ineligible
after EMCITM Certification Center’s audit of the candidate’s application. Requests for
refunds must be made by mail, email ( emci@asme.org, or fax (212-591-7143) to EMCITM
Certification Center. Refund requests must include:
• Candidate's full name as it appears on the application.

• Home and e- mail address.
• EMCIT M ID number (found in the Authorization Letter to Test).
• Reason(s) of withdraw, cancellation, or refund.
If the refund is to be made payable to an organization, please include the organization's

name and tax identification number.
Cancellations Due to Medical or Personal Emergencies
EMCITM Certification Center recognizes that medical or personal emergencies may arise
when candidates are unable to reschedule the exam by 12:00 (ET) two business days
before their exam appointment. In such case, candidates must submit written
notification, including official medical documentation, to the EMCITM Certification
Center of ASME. The examination may be rescheduled. This information must be
submitted no later than 72 hours after the scheduled examination date. All letters will be
TM
reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Request received after this time limit will not be
reviewed.
What Is a Medical or Personal Emergency?
EMCITM Certification Center considers a medical emergency to be an unplanned medical

event that arises within 48 hours of the scheduled exam that prevents the candidate from
taking the exam. The medical emergency may apply to the candidate or one of the
candidate's immediate family members (spouse, child or parent). Medical events that can
be anticipated as occurring on or near the exam date and that can be rescheduled prior to
48 hours of the test appointment are not considered emergencies.
A personal emergency may include an unplanned event that arises within 48 hours of the
scheduled exam that prevents the candidate from taking the examination. Personal
emergencies may apply directly to the candidate or one of the candidate's immediate
family members (spouse, child or parent). Inability to take the exam due to work- load or
work conflicts are not considered personal emergencies.
Candidates will be notified by e- mail of the outcome of the request. If the refund request
is approved, candidates will be refunded 50 percent of their examination fee. However,
the USD75.00 application fee is nonrefundable.
Examination Result and Certification
The official test results (including the actual score and functional area breakdown) will
be mailed to candidates’ home addresses within one month after the examination
administration. In addition to a score report, candidates who have passed the exam will
also receive an official certificate and lapel pin displaying the designation earned.
Under no circumstances will scores or pass/fail information be released over the phone,
Internet, or by fax.
Candidates who have not received an official score report/certificate within six weeks of
the examination or who receive a damaged score report and/or certificate should notify
EMCITM Certification Center in writing, following the procedures outlined in
"Duplicate/Replacement Score Reports" in this handbook. A duplicate score report and
certificate (if applicable) will be issued at no cost. EMCITM Certification Center reserves
the right to request that candidate return the damaged certificate before a replacement
may be issued.
Candidates with questions about their test results should direct them in writing to
EMCITM Certification Center. Because of the need to maintain test security, examination
questions will not be released to candidates.
TM
Duplicate Score Reports/Replacement Certificates
If you legally change your name, lose your score report/certificate or want another
certificate for personal reasons, you may request a replacement or duplicate score
report/certificate in writing from EMCIT M Certification Center.
Formal name changes require appropriate legal documentation, such as a notarized copy
of a marriage certificate or divorce decree. Such requests must include a U.S.$20
duplicate score report/certificate processing fee.
Duplicate score report/certificate requests must include:
• Candidate's full name (as it appears on the application).

• Home address.
• EMCIT M ID number.
• Examination types (EMCFT M or EMCPTM).
• Examination date.
Review of Score Requests
To ensure accuracy of results, EMCIT M Certification Center performs quality assurance

procedures before scoring and mailing examination results. It is ext remely unlikely that
review of your electronic file will result in a change in examination results.
Candidates may request that EMCIT M Certification Center review their electronic
examination file within three months of the examination date. Requests received after
that time will not be honored.
To submit a request, candidate can send in a written request by mail or fax to EMCIT M
Certification Center. There is a U.S.$50 fee to have EMCIT M Certification Center hand
scored (review) your electronic examination file.
Prepare for the Exams
While some individuals may take the examination without taking any preparatory
courses, the overwhelming majority become involved in some form of examination
preparation. Because the examinations measure the mastery of the application of the
EMCIT M body of knowledge, the best preparation is to understand the scope and
contents of this “Body of Knowledge“ (EMC-BOK) (the test specifications) as well as
the representation of each domain in the construction of the EMCIT M certification
examinations.
The Continuing Education Institute – CEI, the Global Authorized Education Provider of
EMCIT M Certification has created preparatory materials and courses for the
examinations. CEI has also authorized many local Authorized Education Providers
TM
throughout North America as well as in other parts of the world. For detailed
information, please visit: http://www.engineeringcertification.org
The EMCITM Re-Certification
In order to enhance or further develop certification holder’s competence in engineering

management, candidates who have acquired the EMCPT M or EMCFTM credential must
re-certify or retake the EMCIT M certification examinations after three years starting from
the date of the certification.
To qualify for re-certification, EMCPTM candidate must fulfill the 45 Professional
