Expectations of an experienced
PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER
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:
ff understand the requirements of clients, wide ranging stakeholders and of society as
awhole
ff work to optimise social, environmental and economic outcomes over the full lifetime
of the engineering product or program
ff interact effectively with other disciplines, professions and people
ff ensure that the engineering contribution is properly integrated into the totality of the
project, program or process
Engineers Australia
Competency Guide for Professional Engineers | 1
ff 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:
1. p
ersonal commitment
Competencies 1-3
2. obligation to community
Competencies 4-7
3. value in the workplace
Competencies 8-11
4. technical proficiency
Competencies 12-16
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.
Engineers Australia
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
ff Involve wide-ranging or conflicting technical, sociological, environmental and
otherrequirements.
ff Have no obvious solution and require abstract thinking and originality in analysis to
formulate suitable models.
ff Require the application of first principles.
ff Involve infrequently encountered issues.
ff Have complex or conflicting stakeholder requirements and consequences that involve
diverse groups of stakeholders with widely varying needs.
ff Can be dissected into component parts or sub-problems.
ff Require the creation of successful, timely engineering solutions.
Engineering activities
ff 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.
ff Require resolution of significant problems arising from interactions between wideranging
or conflicting technical, sociological, environmental or otherrequirements.
ff Involve creative use of engineering principles and knowledge, much of which is at, or
informed by, the forefront of a practice area.
ff Have significant consequences in a range of contexts, characterised by difficulty of
prediction and mitigation.
Engineers Australia
ff Can extend beyond previous experiences by applying first principles.

ff 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.
ff Developing: an aspect of practice that you are learning, with help from more
experienced practitioners and possibly supervision to help you practice at an
acceptablestandard.
ff Functional: an aspect of practice in which you have a basic capability to practice
independently at an acceptable standard without help or supervision.
ff 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.

Indicators of Attainment
The purpose of Indicators of Attainment is to assist you in the selection of
appropriate project examples to use as evidence for demonstrating the meaning of a
CompetencyElement.
In addition, Indicators of Attainment assist in understanding the scope of an Element by
providing illustrations of a variety of relevant engineering work.
Indicators of Attainment are not therefore assessment criteria, rather they are guides.
In order to sufficiently demonstrate a Competency Element, a participant may need to draw
on more than one project example reflecting different Indicators of Attainment, or some
other type of appropriate project experiences.
Q
A
how many or minimum numbers of Indicators of Attainment

required to be written about.
There is no minimum, as relevant project experience is not limited
to the listed Indicators of Attainment, and rather they serve as a
guide to the type of work that is likely to demonstrate the Element.
You need to have each Engineering Competency Claim (ECC) and their Engineering
Experience Record (EER) verified by a responsible senior experienced engineer with
preferably more than 7 years experience who is preferably a Member of Engineers Australia
or an engineer of equivalent standing with an overseas body.
How EA assesses your Engineering

CompetencyClaims
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
Engineering Competency Claims consist of independently verified descriptions of
specific actions you have taken, and decisions you have made, relevant to particular
Elements of Competency. The Elements of Competency you must address are specific
to your Occupational Category, and are described in the relevant PDP participant
CompetencyGuide. https://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/professional-development/
locked-pdp-participants
Engineers Australia
The evidence from your ECCs is assessed, by EA National Assessors, to determine whether it
provides a satisfactory basis for a Professional Interview, where your claims to competence
are validated. In looking at the evidence that you present, EA National Assessors consider
the following guidelines: authenticity, validity, reliability, currency, and sufficiency.
ff Authenticity means that you must demonstrate your own personal competency; not
the competence of your team, or of anyone else.
ff 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.
ff 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
theoutcome.
ff 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.
ff 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.
What you need to write in an Engineering

Competency Claim (ECC)
Each ECC addresses one of the 16 Elements of Competence, you must demonstrate
competence in Area of Practice, or field covered by EA Colleges, that you nominated when
you enrolled into eChartered.
For each ECC,
ff Write an account of your actions and decisions in one or more separately verified
episodes of your engineering experience.
ff Provide evidence of your personal competence in that particular Element (use your
work journal to assist).
Engineers Australia
ff Demonstrate your competence in all aspects of what this element means in practice.
ff The Indicators of Attainment for each Element serves as guides to the sorts of
engineering work that is likely to demonstrate competence in the Element.
In Elements that refer to Engineering Problems and Engineering Activities, your account
of your personal experience must have some or all of the characteristics of the relevant
Engineering Problems and Engineering Activities, as defined in the Competency Standards.
A significant episode may provide evidence of your competence in several Elements.
However, in claiming all 16 Elements of Competence, EA Assessors expect you to use at least
three separate examples of your work.
Writing your ECCs

As you write, bear in mind that you are asking the Chartered Engineers who will read your
ECCs to certify personally, to the community and profession that you are competent to
practise independently and unsupervised. They cannot safely assume your competence, or
come to a decision on the balance of probabilities; they need to have hard evidence. It is
your responsibility to provide the evidence, in enough depth and detail, to leave an engineer
Chartered in your Area of Practice with no doubt as to your competence.
An ECC of less than 500 words is unlikely to provide sufficient evidence, in enough depth,
to demonstrate that you possess the relevant competence. Note, however, that the issue
is sufficiency of evidence, not word count alone; do not resort to submitting two weak
accounts of episodes, or padding-out one episode with irrelevant material.
Start each ECC with a brief introduction, including dates, sufficient to provide a context in
which your claimed competence is demonstrated. Describe your own actions and decisions,
rather than the project itself or what the team did. Write concisely and in the first person
singular, describing your own specific actions and decisions (I did this, and this is how
I did it ) provide the evidence (e.g. describe the outcome) that shows you performed
competently. To put it another way, tell us what we would have seen if we had been able to
be there to see you at work.
TIPS
ff If the work you describe was done as part of a team, describe the work that you did,
distinguishing it from work done by other team members
ff Use narrative in preference to bullet points because you should be explaining how you
undertake your work, not just listing things you have done
ff Expand acronyms (however familiar they may be to you)
ff Explain technical terms
ff Avoid jargon
ff Use correct grammar and spelling
Engineers Australia
ff Avoid writing hypothetically, and merely stating what you were responsible for
ff State what you did, and why, and how, and with whom, and to what effect.
ff Provide the direct evidence that you are competent
If different aspects of your ECC require different verifiers (e.g. it is based on more than one
episode, or different aspects of single episode), you should write them as (up to three)
separate parts. These separate parts together make up the one ECC (each part goes to a
different verifier). While you may base several ECCs on the same episode, each ECC must be
written to address the relevant competence specifically; i.e. write unique narratives for each
Element, even if the same project example is being used and avoid cutting & pasting.
Finally, ask yourself this question:
Is what I have written convincing verifiable evidence of

mycompetence?
Better still: ask someone else the same question. If the answer
is yes, submit the ECC for verification and assessment,
througheChartered.
Example ECCs and thought starters are available in the Resources
area of the eChartered website.
These actions and decisions must specific, actual, and verifiable
notjust statements of principles, not of general behaviour.
Verification Process
You need to have each Engineering Competency Claim (ECC) and their Engineering
Experience Record (EER) verified by a responsible senior experienced engineer with
preferably more than 7 years experience who is preferably a Member of Engineers Australia
or an engineer of equivalent standing with an overseas body.
Verifiers need to be able to attest that the work you have written about is your own.
Engineers Australia will conduct random checks on Verifiers, or contact Verifiers if they want
to discuss their verification of your ECC or any Verifier information provided.
You and your verifiers should review the eChartered Verifier Guidelines in the Resources
section of eChartered to ensure a fully understanding of the requirements.
Engineers Australia
The Process
1. S
et up your Verifiers in eChartered, if you need two or three Verifiers for an ECC,
they can split their ECC into segments (up to 3 segments) and have each Verified by
someonedifferent.
2. I ts a good idea to contact your Verifiers prior to setting them up on eChartered to check
that their contact details are correct and ensure they are willing to be your verifier. When
you fill out your verifiers details, you will have the option to send them your personal
information so they can contact you if needed.
3. O
nce you have sent a verification request, you have the option to cancel the request if
required. If you click the Cancel verification option on the segment you have sent, the
claim will unlock for you to edit, and re-send. You verifier will be informed that you have
cancelled the request.
4. I f your verifier does not action your request after 14 days, your verification request will
automatically expire. A reminder email will be sent to your verifier after 7 days.
5. A
verifier has the option to accept or decline your request of them for verification. If they
decline they add a comment that is included in the email notification back to you. If you
receive an outcome that any segments of your Claim have been declined, then you need
to have them verified by a different verifier.
6. I f you need to rework your verified ECCs for any reason, you can choose to unverified
them in eChartered.
7. I f you cannot locate your Verifier or source an appropriate Verifier, you can, in lieu,
upload a Statutory Declaration, completed and witnessed. This is a legally enforceable
document whereby you declare the truthfulness and accuracy of your work. Youshould
use the Statutory Declaration template in the eChartered Resources section of
thewebsite.
8. Y
ou can use a Statutory Declaration in lieu of a Verifier for up to five ECCs only.
Aseparate Statutory Declaration must be used for each applicable ECC. If you need,
for example, to use a Statutory Declaration to cover two project examples in one ECC,
simply write the examples one after the other in the one box and upload one Statutory
Declaration. Statutory Declaration can be used in lieu of a Verifier for one entry of your
Engineering Experience Record only.
