Survey Results for 2016 CRE Preparation Recommended References

Survey Results for 2016 CRE Preparation Recommended References

The Survey Results Are In

Here the 2016 survey results as reported by the TypeForm survey tool.

 

2016 Survey Results and Discussion

The Typeform powered survey open in December 2016 enjoyed 51 unique visits and while not everyone completed the survey, we did get many responses.

Average response time was 2 minutes and 11 seconds, which was a bit faster than last year.

Thanks for putting some thought into your responses.

Summary of Results

Score     Reference

4.16        The Certified Reliability Engineer Handbook

4.04        a  good statistics textbook

4.00       CRE Primer

3.83       Practical Reliability Engineering

3.00       Juran’s Quality Handbook

 

I’m still sorting out the recommendations to add or drop. The full report will be posted to the Resources section in a day or two.

Thanks again to all of those that participated in the survey.

This is one way to stay current with the best recommendations for use preparing and taking the CRE exam.

The recommendations also provide you with an essential set of desk references for daily use.
