SME® Certification offers four certifications:
• CMfgT – Certified Manufacturing Technologist
Recognizes competence in the fundamentals of manufacturing
• CMfgE – Certified Manufacturing Engineer
Recognizes a more comprehensive knowledge of manufacturing processes and practices
• CEM – Certified Engineering Manager
Recognizes leadership of technical activities
• CEI – Certified Enterprise Integrator
Recognizes leadership of cross-functional initatives

Beyond personal achievement, candidates will gain a competitive edge over those who are not certified, acquire professional recognition for their desire, commitment and leadership ability, and improve their skills through participation in continuing education programs.
