IEEE WCET Steering Committee

The Practice Analysis Task Force (PATF)
Comprised of 16 wireless professionals from around the globe, this group met in December 2006 to develop a draft delineation of the domains (areas of responsibility), tasks, and knowledge that might be expected of engineering practitioners seeking WCET certification. This draft delineation underwent a detailed review by industry experts and experienced wireless practitioners. In May 2007, the PATF reconvened to discuss all of the comments from the Focus Groups and Independent Reviewers. They revised the delineation in numerous ways, benefiting from the detailed and thoughtful comments they received. The revised delineation was validated via an industry-wide survey.

The Industry Advisory Board (IAB) 
Meet this month's featured IAB members: Robert Fonow, Francis O'Brien and Arun Pande. PLUS! read what they had to say about why the WCET certification program is so important to industry.

Focus Group Participants
As part of the development of the delineation, feedback was solicited through Focus Groups held at industry and IEEE meetings around the world, and through detailed comments provided by Independent Reviewers. Focus Groups consisting of experienced wireless practitioners discussed the delineation in sessions lasting two hours and longer, and shared their detailed suggestions regarding its structure and content. In addition, a dozen industry experts provided feedback as Independent Reviewers. They each spent several hours reviewing the delineation and providing very detailed feedback on both the organization of the delineation and the individual task and knowledge statements.

Become an IEEE WCET Question Writer
Nominate yourself or a colleague to be considered as a Question Writer for the WCET examination. The next testing window is slated for March 2009. If you've ever wanted to ask the questions on an exam rather than answer them, this could be your chance. Complete the Nomination Form for IEEE WCET Question Writers if you're interested.

JUST FOR RECRUITERS!  A free service called the IEEE WCET Corporate News Alert has been developed to keep you informed of who passed the WCET exam. Subscribe today!
