3 ENGINEERS AUSTRALIA - APPROVED ASSESSMENT SCHEME AUSTRALIAN ENGINEERING COMPETENCY STANDARDS STAGE 2 What is expected of an experienced? The community has certain expectations of experienced professional engineers, their competence, how they apply this competence and how they will conduct themselves. Experienced professional engineers: understand the requirements of clients, wide ranging stakeholders and of society as a whole work to optimise social, environmental and economic outcomes over the full lifetime of the engineering product or program interact effectively with other disciplines, professions and people ensure that the engineering contribution is properly integrated into the totality of the project, program or process are responsible for: - interpreting technological possibilities to society, business and government - ensuring, as far as possible, that policy decisions are properly informed by possibilities and consequences - ensuring that costs, risks and limitations are properly understood in the context of the desirable outcomes - bringing knowledge to bear from multiple sources to develop solutions to complex problems and issues - ensuring that technical and non-technical considerations are properly integrated - managing risk as well as sustainability issues - ensuring that all aspects of a project, program or process are soundly based in theory and fundamental principle - for understanding clearly how new developments relate to established practice and experience and to other disciplines with which they may interact While the outcomes of engineering generally have physical forms, the work of experienced professional engineers recognises the interaction between people and technology. Professional engineers may conduct research concerned with advancing the science of engineering and with developing new principles and technologies within a broad engineering discipline. Alternatively, they may contribute to the education of engineers, continual improvement in the practice of engineering and to devising and updating the codes and standards that govern it. Stage 2 competency standards The Stage 2 competency standards are generic in the sense that they apply to all disciplines of engineering in four units: personal commitment obligation to community value in the workplace technical proficiency Each unit contains elements of competence and indicators of attainment. The elements of competence are the capabilities necessary to the unit of competence and the indicators of attainment serve as a guide to the engineering work likely to be considered as demonstrating attainment of that competence. Demonstration of competence Professional Engineer The demonstration of competence requires the presentation of written accounts of work that involves engineering contributions contributions based on the bodies of knowledge associated with established engineering practice and engineering science. Many aspects of engineering practice may be based on well-established but unpublished guidelines, or even practices that are not commonly documented or written but learned through the experience of practice under the guidance and supervision of a more experienced engineer. When selecting work experience to offer as evidence of competence, provide examples of contributions to work that has some or all of the characteristics of either an engineering problem or engineering activity as described below: 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. At any particular time, a professional engineer applying for Stage 2 assessment would expect some areas to be developing with others at a functional or proficient level as described below. Developing: an aspect of practice that you are learning, with help from more experienced practitioners and possibly supervision to help you practice at an acceptable standard. Functional: an aspect of practice in which you have a basic capability to practice independently at an acceptable standard without help or supervision. Proficient: an aspect of practice in which your capability to practice independently has been recognised through formal peer review, and in which you have the capacity to help others develop their capability. A successful assessment at Stage 2 will formalise a transfer from functional to proficient. 11 August 2015 College Change Form Page 3 of 11

There is no limit to the maximum number of that you can claim over a three-year period for these activities. A maximum of 75 of your total CPD in any three-year period may be claimed for these activities. Study may be either on campus or by distance education. For distance education, estimate the equivalent number of of formal face-to-face education that would have been involved. Time claimed is the actual of lectures / tutorials / laboratory work, noting that there will almost always be further time spent both in preparation and follow-up. All such activities will involve some form of assessment Technical meetings include Engineers Australia meetings, where these are delivered or facilitated by recognised practitioners in the field. Activities that are normal work activities and which do not extend your knowledge cannot be claimed as learning activities in the workplace. For any learning activity undertaken in the workplace you must be able to demonstrate how it has extended your knowledge. IV. Private study which extends your knowledge and skills Reading of the monthly Engineers Australia magazine can contribute to a maximum of 18 of your total CPD in any three-year period. Note: The total claimable for learning activities in the workplace (Type III) and private study (Type IV) combined are 110 over three years. Study may be in your area of practice and or in the core areas of risk management, business and management skills. Private study includes the reading of books, journals, transactions, manuals etc. Records must be kept of relevant personal reading claimed; include date, title, author and time spent on reading relevant articles and a brief summary of the knowledge gained (25-50 words). This information should be recorded after you have read the article for audit purposes V. Service to the engineering profession A maximum of 50 of your total CPD in any three-year period may be claimed for these activities. Service to the engineering profession may include: serving in a volunteer capacity on boards and committees of Engineers Australia; being a panel member on tertiary course accreditation visits; being an interviewer on chartered status assessment panels; reviewing technical publications prior to publication; assisting with CPD audits; serving as a volunteer on other boards and committees which advance the engineering profession; mentoring a colleague for work experience purposes; preparation of written submissions / contributions to, and participation in technical standards related meetings of organisations, such as Standards Australia, on areas relevant to your professional work (whether representing Engineers Australia or another organisation).
