You should submit a report that details:
- The nature of the project.
- The project's time span.
- The number of engineers involved.
- To whom the final presentation was made.
- Cost of the project.
- Results, such as new or improved products, significant cost savings, expansion, etc.
- Signatures of at least two other persons of higher management rank for validation.
Be sure to submit your report well in advance of the recertification deadline to learn how many credits you will receive. |
