Practice of Professional Engineering All three items must be present: 1. Any act of planning, designing, composing, evaluating, advising, reporting, directing or supervising (or the managing of any such act); 2. That requires the application of engineering principles; and 3. Concerns the safeguarding of life, health, property, economic interests, the public welfare or the environment 9
Why be a Professional Engineer? May be required by law Gives you the right to use P.Eng. and Engineer Demonstrates commitment to profession Opportunities for career advancement Participation in a self-regulated profession 10
Licensing Requirements Acceptable engineering education Good character Professional Practice Examination 48 months acceptable engineering experience (12 months must be within a Canadian jurisdiction) References (all direct supervisors & a minimum of one P.Eng.) 11
Professional Practice Examination (PPE) 3 hours total 12
Engineering Experience 5 Required Elements: Application of Theory Practical Experience Management of Engineering Communication Skills Social Implications of Engineering 13
Pre-Graduation Experience After completing 50% of course work Up to 12 months credit for co-op, summer engineering employment, etc.; Complete Pre-graduation experience form is different than post graduate experience. 14
Engineering Masters or PhD Completed degrees - 12 months experience Same discipline or closely related to your bachelor of engineering degree Only one degree applies Additional experience for industrially applied research work. Up to 6 months for master s degree and 12 months for doctorial degree. 15
Application of Theory Link your academic knowledge to your work referring to specific engineering principles: Planning, designing, composing, evaluating, advising, reporting, directing, supervising, etc. When performing your work, what engineering principles did you apply in order to perform such work? 16
Practical Experience Link your work to limitations and/or restrictions referring to real world considerations: Production parameters; Manufacturing tolerances; Relationship between product and equipment; Workflow; Schedule/Budget obstacles; Codes; Standards; Regulations; Etc. What considerations did you have to make due to real world conditions and how did these considerations impact/affect your engineering work? 17
Management of Engineering Describe which management of engineering tools you used and how you used them: Scheduling; Budgeting; Planning; Pricing; Crew Supervision; Quality Assurance/Control; Project Control; Risk Assessment; Etc. Identifying restrictions, establishing interactions and evaluating alternative methods when performing your work is an asset. 18
Communication Skills Describe how you communicate your work: Written work Correspondence design briefs; Technical reports - recommendation, inspection, etc. Oral Reports Coworkers; Supervisors; Senior management; Clients, Regulatory authorities; Etc. How do you report your work? 19
Social Implication of Engineering Link the work you have done towards the Public: Potential effects, both positive and negative Relationship between your work and the Public Does your work bring value/benefit to the Public? Public safety is paramount 20
Describing your work WHAT HOW WHY Narrative Tense 21
Describing your work Application of Theory (WHAT) I calculated the super-elevation (Ea) of a track horizontal curve; (HOW) Using the theory of centrifugal force principle; (WHY) In order to provide comfort to passengers in my design. Practical Experience Due to property limits (limitation), I had to decrease the curve radius and lower the operating speed (impact/affect) in order to comply with EaAREMA standards (restrictions). 22
Describing your work Management of Engineering I was responsible for budgeting the materials according to my design. Communication Skills I presented the budget spreadsheets as well as an oral update of my work progress in our bi-weekly design meeting to my manager. Social Implications of Engineering Passenger comfort is a crucial element of the design in order to provide the passenger with a safe commute throughout its trajectory. 23
