Introduction Today we are discussing the alternative route for registration as a Professional Engineering Technologist at ECSA. What forms are required to be completed The difference between the regular registration against the alternative route. Explaining the five outcomes
Where do I find information about the outcomes? The following ECSA Policy documents are to be studied to ensure you understand the requirements for the eleven outcomes. R-02-STA-PE/PT/PCE/PN, Competency Standard for Registration in Professional Categories as PE/PT/PCE/PN, Revision 1: 20 August 2020 referred to as R-02. R-08-PT: Guide to the Competency Standard for Registration as a Professional Engineering Technologist referred to as R-08..

WRITE A REPORT IN ABOUT 100 WORDS ON EACH CRITERION LISTED. 2. Reports must include reference to broadly-defined practical examples in the work place demonstrating how the competencies were satisfied, and is not restricted to a single task or project. (Additional supporting evidence may be attached, if necessary limited to two A4 pages). 3. This information can be provided from education or experience, or a combination of both. 4. The applicant must sign the completed report and also obtain a signature from his/her supervisor. 5. The applicant may be invited to an interview to expand and/or confirm this report. Broadly-defined engineering problems have the following characteristics: a) require coherent and detailed engineering knowledge underpinning the applicable technology area; and one or more of: b) are ill-posed, under- or over specified, requiring identification and interpretation into the technology area; c) encompass systems within complex engineering systems; d) belong to families of problems which are solved in well-accepted but innovative ways; and one or more of: e) can be solved by structured analysis techniques; f) may be partially outside standards and codes; must provide justification to operate outside; g) require information from practice area and sources interfacing with practice area that is complex and incomplete; h) involves a variety of issues which may impose conflicting constraints: technical, engineering and interested or affected parties.
