ABOUT
International Association of Certified Practicing Engineers provides a standard of pro-
fessional competence and ethics. Identifies and recognizes those individuals that have
meet the standard. And requires our members to participate in continuing education
programs for personal and professional development.
VOLUME 2
NUMBER 7
OCTOBER 2016
In additional to insuring a professional level of competency and ethics the IACPE fo-
cuses on three major areas of development for our members: Personal, Professional,
and Networking.
HISTORY
The International Association of Certified Practicing Engineers concept was formu-
lated by t he m any young professionals and students w e meet during our careers
working i n the field, running training courses, and lecturing at universities.
During question and answer sessions we found the single most common question
was: What else can I do to further my career?
We found, depending on the persons avail able time and finances, and very often de-
pendent on the country in which the person was from, the options to further ones
career were not equal.
Many times we found the options available to our students in developing countries
were too costly and or provided too little of value in an expanding global business
environment.
The reality is that most of our founders come from countries that require rigor-
ous academic standards at four year universities in order to achieve an engineering
degree. Then, after obtaining this degree, they complete even stricter government
and state examinations to obtain their professional licenses in order to join profes-
sional organizations. They have been afforded t he opportunity t o continue t heir
personal and professional development with many affordable schools, programs, and
professional organizations. The IACPE did not see those same opportunities for every-
one in every country.
So we set out to design and build an association dedicated to supporting those engi-
neers in developing in emerging economies.
The IACPE took input from industry leaders, academic professors, and students
from Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. The goal was to build an organiza-
tion that would validate a candidates engineering fundamentals, prove their
individuals skills, and enhance their networking ability. We wanted to do this
in a way that was cost effective, time conscience, and utilized the latest technologies.
MISSION
Based on engineering first principles and practical real world applications our curricu-
lum has been vetted by academic and industry professionals. Through rigorous study
and examination, candidates are able to prove their knowledge and experience. This
body of certified professionals engineers will become a network of industry profes-
sionals leading continuous improvement and education with improved ethics.
VISION
To become a globally recognized association for certification of professional engineers.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
KARL KOLMETZ
T
ALENT AND
A
BILITIES
Every person has a special talent or ability. Some special talents and abilities include: Art, Music, Painting,
Critical Thinking, Writing, Graphics, Physical Gifts, Public Speaking, Humor, Languages, Teaching, Problem
Solving, and Juggling.
Wouldn’t it be great for you to be gifted and talented? The truth is our choices in life lead to habits;
some of our habits develop into special talents; and those talents become gifts. Our goal is to make sure
the habits are creating talented gifts. Succeeding in our careers and life requires no special skills regard-
less of your talents or gifts, but there are consistent behaviors which help individuals turn into an effective
member of the workforce.
1.
Being On Time
Showing up on time requires almost no forethought, yet for one reason or another people find being
prompt a challenge. Being on time is great, but arriving early gives you a competitive advantage. Both are
better than apologizing for running late. Being prompt also indicates you respect your colleagues.
2.
Work Ethic
You cannot teach someone to be a hard worker. This is something people must willingly strive to achieve
on a daily basis in order to truly stand out in the crowd. Always thinking there is more that you can do
will advance your career and life.
3. Attitude
Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you tackle everyday situations. Every day is a new day to
choose and embrace a positive attitude for each situation you encounter. We cannot change our past;
nor can we change how people will react. The only thing we can control is our own attitude.
4. Being Coachable
If you want to be successful you must let go of your ego and embrace the best ideas. For many people
this is the biggest challenge; admitting your idea or approach may not be the best. One must keep in mind
that history has proven new ideas and better procedures are constantly being developed. The key is hav-
ing an open mind to recognize trends and changes. Being receptive to new ideas, even if they are not your
own, is better than clinging to an idea solely because it was yours.
5.
Giving to Others
All successful lives embrace helping others flourish. This requires no special talent other than love. Many
of us are blessed far more than we deserve and we owe a gift of love to those less fortunate than our-
selves. One day you will look back to discover the most rewarding times in your life have been when you
helped others.
All the best in your Career and Life,
Karl
