Project Guidelines:

15 of the 35 CRP credits required for certification must be earned through a project that demonstrates the Candidate's ability to apply the learned body of knowledge in a way that will benefit his/her company.

	Candidate identifies an application project that applied relevant Reliability Engineering concepts and techniques in a way that will benefit his/her organization.
	Scope of the project should be:
		relevant to reliability course material,
		able to be executed on-site where candidate works, and
		sufficient to demonstrate understanding of the material.
	Candidate submits a project proposal to the CRP Board for review and initial approval.
	Project Proposal Form - (*.DOC, 52 KB)
	The CRP Board reviews the project proposal, based on established evaluation criteria (*.PDF, 68 KB) and the combined engineering experience of the Board members. If the proposal is accepted, a Project Mentor is assigned.
	Candidate executes project at work site.
	Mid-way through the project, the candidate submits project status to Project Mentor for review and feedback.
	Project Status Report Form - (*.DOC, 52 KB)
	At project completion, the candidate submits the final project for review and approval.
	Project Final Report Form - (*.DOC, 48 KB)
	The Project Mentor and the CRP Board review the project to ensure that it meets the specified quality standards, including:
		Project scope is relevant to reliability course material.
		Project is executed with correct principles of reliability engineering.
		Project demonstrates an understanding of the course material.
	If the CRP Board approves the project, the appropriate CRP credits will be granted.
	If the Project Mentor does not approve the project, the candidate is informed of what will need to be done to meet project requirements. Candidate then makes any needed adjustments and re-submits.
