I. Introduction to Registered Power Engineers 1. The full name of a Registered Power Engineer is Registered Public Equipment Engineer of the People’s Republic of China. Registered Professional Engineers for Public Equipment include three specialty areas: HVAC, water supply and drainage, and power. Registered Public Equipment Engineers fall under the category of registered engineering consultants for survey and design. **Among the listed catalog of professional qualifications, registered engineering consultants for survey and design are one of the 34 qualifications requiring approval to practice. The textbook for the Registered Power Engineer professional examination was compiled by authoritative design firms in the industry, organized by the Machinery Industry Survey and Design Association. (The organizations include Zhongyuan International, Hebei Electric Power Institute, MCC Coking & Refractory, Sinochem Sideng, North China Municipal Engineering Institute, MCC Jingcheng, MCC South, China Electronics Engineering Design Institute, etc.) Therefore, registered power engineers possess high authority and professionalism. 2. Exam Overview: From 2005 to 2018, the Registered Power Engineer exam has been around for 14 years; it has become a well-known hallmark and symbol in this industry. To date, the total number of registered professional engineers in the country is less than 5,000 (as of December 2018, 4,668 were registered). Additionally, the number of people who passed in 2018 was approximately 500. ) 3. Examination format and application requirements: The Professional Qualification Examination for Registered Public Equipment Engineers consists of a basic examination and a specialized examination.
