Industrial engineers are in high demand because of their focus on streamlining operations, enhancing productivity, and waste reduction across a wide range of industries. Several employers do not require industrial engineers to take certification exams because employers give more weight to qualifications than certifications. The Certification Exam for Industrial Engineering (CIE) is a significant milestone for aspiring industrial engineers to hold the key to career advancement and industry recognition. A certification exam is regarded as a milestone in an engineer's career. A great deal of preparation among the participants is necessary to ensure success in this exam. As such, it is essential to understand the factors that influence the preparation of candidates for this examination. This study looks into the variables influencing the Certification Examination for Industrial Engineering (CIE) preparation, including identifying the opportunities and difficulties the candidates face as they prepare for the exam in terms of internal and external motivators and other factors. The study's findings showed that the biggest reason for not taking the certification exam was a lack of money. Awareness of exam content helps in certification preparation and acts as a roadmap to the many subjects that are anticipated to be covered on the test. Based on the outcome, getting access to high-quality study materials is an essential certification exam preparation. An individual yearning for recognition is externally motivated to pass the certification exam. Involvement from alumni promotes supportive relationships and meaningful connections between students and alumni in many ways, including access to study resources.

This study evaluated the impact of climatic conditions on the thermal comfort and feed intake of buffaloes in the semi-arid region of Pernambuco. Climate data were collected over 13 months, from May 2023 to May 2024, at the Meteorological Station of the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (UFRPE) in Serra Talhada. The variables analyzed included air temperature, relative humidity, dew point, total solar radiation, and rainfall. Based on these data, the Temperature-Humidity Index (THI) and Feed Intake Reduction (FIR) were calculated. The results indicated that, for most of the year, temperatures exceeded the optimal range for buffalo thermal comfort, especially during the dry months. The high THI, driven by high temperatures and low humidity, pointed to significant thermal discomfort. This discomfort translated into a substantial reduction in dry matter intake by the animals, negatively impacting meat and milk production. The bioclimatic conditions in the studied region pose challenges to buffalo production, with periods of thermal stress leading to productivity losses. The adoption of appropriate management practices is essential to mitigate these effects and improve animal welfare and productivity, reducing economic losses in production.
