Is the word quality in 'Certified Quality Engineer' a noun or an Adjective?

Quality is an expectation. Quality is a right. Quality is a mandatory qualification for the standard of any process or product. If all that is true, then why is the quality engineer a different entity away from an engineer?

Also if someone could comment on how did this 'Quality Engineer' accrediattion evolve?

questioningly

Happy Christmas!

Every engineer has to do his or her activities and tasks right at the first time. Ensure any product or services meets internal and external customer expectations. Meet Ethical standards. If we take these definitions, in Quality Engineer, “Quality” is adjective.

If we go by the ASQ’s definition of CQE as “The Certified Quality Engineer is a professional who understands the principles of product and service quality evaluation and control.” Then “Quality” is a noun.

I would say to CQEs to be a “noun” Quality Engineer when they learn and be an “adjective” Quality Engineer when they execute. ;)

Happy holidays,
