CEng Application for Registered Senior Engineers

PART (1) ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE & CPD

You need to submit

Curriculum vitae
Digitized copies of educational qualifications
Work references
Sample of design calculations of two projects that you have worked.
Technical Specifications of the projects
Engineering Experience Record as follows-

Preparing Your Engineering Experience Record (EER)

www.highlightcomputer.com/CPEngReport.pdf

The Engineering Experience Record (EER) is a verified record of your engineering employment. It asks you to detail your engineering roles and responsibilities for the purpose of explaining these and having them verified.

The application for Chartered Status requires that the member has a minimum of seven years of verified equivalent full-time engineering experience .

The EER is a separate document from your CV. It is a verified record of your recent engineering employment. In the Role Description field, you need to provide a detailed description of the job roles you have held and your responsibilities and achievements for each role.

Present continuing professional development as follows

Preparing Your CPD Record

A key part of the application for Chartered Status and registration is currency of knowledge. The CPD Record is your record of Continuing Professional Development, made over the last three years of your engineering experience.

MPER Follows CPD system of Engineers Australia which has specific requirements for demonstrating adequate CPD for a Chartered Status and/or registration application. All participants must demonstrate at least 150 hours of CPD over the last three years.

CPEng Application for Professional Engineers.

In addition to all evidences required for CEng, CPEng applicants will need to write Engineering Competency Claim (ECC).

Write engineering competency claim as follows-

Writing Engineering Competency Claims (ECCs)

The essence of writing an ECC is presenting convincing verifiable evidence of your competence, in the form of a narrative describing your actual experience in engineering activities over the past few years. Each ECC must be a minimum of 500 words, and a maximum of 700 words. Some things you should know before you start to write your ECCs are described below:

How we assess your Engineering Competency Claims

Your Engineering Competency Claims (ECCs) are the primary sources of evidence of your engineering competence. The evidence that you present in your ECCs will be tested by assessment and, ultimately, in a Professional Interview

Competence means the ability to perform reliably in an Occupational Category to an expected standard.

To perform reliably means that you can apply your competence in varied circumstances.

The three Occupational Categories are Professional Engineer, Engineering Technologist and Engineering Associate.

The expected standards, which are different for the three Occupational Categories, are described in terms of the types of Engineering Problems and Engineering Activities that engineers in the three Occupational Categories may be expected to deal with.

Engineering Problems & Activities

Engineering problems

• Involve wide-ranging or conflicting technical, sociological, environmental and other requirements

• Have no obvious solution and require abstract thinking and originality in analysis to formulate suitable models

• Require the application of first principles

• Involve infrequently encountered issues

• Have complex or conflicting stakeholder requirements and consequences that involve diverse groups of stakeholders with widely varying needs

• Can be dissected into component parts or sub-problems

• Require the creation of successful, timely engineering solutions.

Engineering activities

• Involve the coordination of diverse resources (and for this purpose, resources include people, money, equipment, materials, information and technologies) in the timely delivery of outcomes

• Require resolution of significant problems arising from interactions between wide-ranging or conflicting technical, sociological, environmental or other requirements

• Involve creative use of engineering principles and knowledge, much of which is at, or informed by, the forefront of a practice area

• Have significant consequences in a range of contexts, characterised by difficulty of prediction and mitigation

• Can extend beyond previous experiences by applying first principles

• Require the achievement of successful outcomes on time and on budget.

What you need to write in an Engineering Competency Claim (ECC)

You need to write

(1) PERSONAL COMMITMENT

You need to write:

• how you deal with ethical issues when they arise

• how you develop and define your areas of competence

• how you display a personal sense of responsibility for your work

(2)OBLIGATION TO COMMUNITY

‘Community’ will change depending on the nature of the work you are doing. Sometimes it will be the client; sometimes the general public; sometimes your students; sometimes the regulatory authorities and sometimes it will be your employer. This unit of competence requires you to demonstrate:

• how you delivered a safe and sustainable solutions

• how you defined the community and considered the community benefit at various stages of engineering activities (within the context of your work)

• how you identified and managed the risks associated with the engineering activities

• how you incorporated legal and regulatory requirements into your solutions

(3) VALUE IN THE WORKPLACE

This unit of competency requires you to demonstrate:

• how you collaborate and work with others

• how you work within an organisation to provide value for stakeholders

• how you initiate, plan, lead or manage and secure financial and other material resources to support engineering activities

• how you apply your professional judgement

(4)TECHNICAL PROFICIENCY

This unit of competency require you to demonstrate:

• how you use advanced engineering science

• how you make effective use of engineering knowledge provided by other people

• how you analyse problems and how you develop creative and innovative solutions

• how you evaluate the outcomes and impacts of engineering activities

ASSESSMENT

The evidence from your ECCs is assessed, by MPER, to determine whether it provides a satisfactory basis for a Professional Interview by online chatting mode or by e-mail mode, where your claims to competence are validated. In looking at the evidence that you present in your ECCs, we will consider the following guidelines: authenticity, validity, reliability, currency, and sufficiency.

Authenticity means that you must demonstrate your own personal competency; not the competence of your team, or of anyone else.

Validity means that you have actually and personally exercised the claimed competence in dealing with a specific problem or situation, not just that you can give an account of what might have been done in a hypothetical situation.

Reliability means that you demonstrate that the outcomes of your work are repeatable and not accidental. You must describe how you went about the task, not just the outcome.

Currency means that you are currently competent in the Element of Competency you are claiming. While no time limits are formally specified, the more recent your evidence, the more clearly you can demonstrate that your claimed competency is current. Generally the work conducted in the past 8 years will be sufficient to demonstrate all the 16 Elements of Competence. If you need to go back past 10 years, it is advised to contact an Assessor first as to whether the experience would be acceptable as evidence for demonstrating competence.

Sufficiency means that you provide enough evidence of sufficient quality to allow an assessment of your competence in your Occupational Category – the Engineering Problems or Activities that you have dealt with must be ones that are appropriate to your Area of Practice and your Occupational Category, and you must address all aspects of what each competence means in practice.
