Simulation Training for the Engineer

摘要

The NAFEMS Professional Simulation Engineer (PSE) Program was launched at the Salzburg NAFEMS World Congress in 2013. PSE functions as both an educational framework for professional development and as an independent certification program. Early interest in PSE Certification was driven by the "super analysts"-engineers with decades of simulation experience who were looking to use it as a way to differentiate themselves from their peers. Candidates who have achieved Standard or Advanced Certification are able to claim they are PSE Certified and are allowed to use the PSE Certified logo. The number of individuals on the PSE Register has increased significantly since launch, particularly in 2015, when we saw a growth in interest from organizations looking to embed PSE within their organization. The driver for using PSE varies from organization to organization, and the purpose of this article is to show some of the different ways that PSE can be used by industry, and demonstrate the key benefits to both individuals and organizations of getting involved in this unique program.
