Information from the PEO Reference Guide

ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE RECORDYou must give a clear summary of your engineering experience in a reverse chronological formatby month and year.Include names and addresses of all employers and a technical outline of the nature of the duties and responsibilities associated with each position.Periods of absence from employment (travelling, unemployed) should also be listed with dates.Satisfactory engineering experience is that which complements your academic engineering training.Activities should involve engineering, design, analysis and synthesis, and should provide for the development of responsibility, judgment,communication skills and self-confidence.

Some quality aspects to be assessed include:- increasing work complexity;- increasing responsibility;- the effect of employment interruptions or changing assignments on the applicants retention of, and ability to build upon, the experience gained;- employment responsibilities that are not of an engineering nature;- whether the engineering work performed was in the discipline of graduation; and- the degree of supervision by, and guidance of, professional engineer(s).

Applicants are reminded that this Experience Record is a record of your engineering experience and as such must inform PEO as to what specific

engineering work you have personally performed.Please avoid the use of the third person.Terms such as manage, review or direct are imprecise and should be avoided when discussing your experience under the application of theory.

2.5. Roles of Referees and SupervisorsIndividuals who serve as supervisors or provide references in support of an applicants application are a vital component of the licensing process.Three references, of which two must come from licensed professional engineers who are familiar with details of the applicants work for the experienceclaimed, are normally required.The third should at least be a person in authority at the applicants place of employment or at a client firm. The applicants present and past directsupervisors are the most suitable referees. If an applicant is claiming experience from multiple work situations, additional referees may be required.Referees should provide information regarding the applicants technical ability in the application of theoretical engineering principles, facility tocommunicate orally and in writing, ability to work on a team and to exercise professional judgment. Referees should also attest whether the applicantis of good character, as demonstrated through such personal attributes as honesty and integrity.Professional engineers who serve as supervisors or referees are obligated to:- provide guidance, encouragement and support to the applicant during the internship period;- be sufficiently familiar with the details of the applicants work, either through direct supervision or ongoing direct contact, to be able to attest thateach portion of the work experience qualifies within the context of this Experience Requirements Guide.

2.6. Role of the EmployerProviding a working environment that will enable engineering graduates to enter full professional practice is in the best interests of an employer.

Employees seeking licensure are demonstrating to their employers that they embrace the concept of professionalism, and are willing to be bound bythe professions Code of Ethics requiring fairness and loyalty to employers, colleagues and clients.Professional engineering licensure is recognized by licensing bodies in all jurisdictions in Canada. Internationally, a Mutual Recognition Agreement thatincludes Australia, Ireland, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, South Africa, Hong Kong, and Canada as signatories has further served to raise theprofile of the academic preparation of Canadas professional engineers throughout the world. Mobility provisions are also being negotiated betweenCanada, Mexico and the United States to accommodate professional engineers with extensive experience.As part of providing a working environment that is conducive to licensure, employers are encouraged to instill an appreciation of the need forprospective professional engineers to commit to lifelong learning, to join technical societies, and to enroll as Engineering Interns (Section 4). PEOprovides them with periodic experience assessments aimed to help ensure they achieve licensure within the prescribed period.Employers of prospective professional engineers should be aware of PEOs licensing requirements, particularly the five quality-based criteria againstwhich the experience of their employees will be evaluated (Section 2.2). Where an applicant is involved in sales or marketing activities, constructionmanagement, supervision, or maintenance, particular attention should be paid to Section 3 for an interpretation of the experience requirementsrelative to these activities.The working environment that provides, to the greatest extent possible, opportunities for licence applicants to obtain appropriate and acceptableexperience is one in which the employer provides that:- the applicant has sufficient exposure to a significant majority of the components described in Section 2.2 of this Guide;- progression of these activities and experiences will lead to the applicants increased involvement and responsibility with time;- the applicant is directly supervised by, or at least has on-going contact with, a professional engineer during the various components of the

experience.

The Experience Requirements Guide has as much significance for the sponsors of licence applicants, their employers and the applicants themselves.The suitability of an applicants experience for licensure is assessed against five quality-based experience criteria that specifically define acceptableengineering experience and are described in Section 2.2 of this Experience Requirements Guide.They are: 2.2.1 Application of Theory 2.2.2 Practical Experience 2.2.3 Management of Engineering 2.2.4 Communication Skills 2.2.5 Social Implications of EngineeringIt is the responsibility of the applicant to demonstrate that the engineering experience requirements have been met to the satisfaction of theassociation.This Experience Requirements Guide refers only to the engineering experience requirements for the professional engineer licence.

Applicants for a professional engineer licence:1. are required to demonstrate 48 months of verifiable acceptable engineering experience gained following graduation;2. are eligible to receive credit of up to 12 months of pregraduation experience toward the 48 months of required experience;3. normally receive credit for the successful completion of postgraduate engineering degree(s) from a PEO-recognized university;4. must acquire at least 12 months of acceptable engineering experience in a Canadian jurisdiction, under a licensed professional engineer (P.Eng.). Thisexperience must be in addition to that obtained at the pregraduation stage and/or toward a postgraduate degree.

2. PEO'S ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTSApplicants who satisfy the requirements described in this Experience Requirements Guide will have confirmed that they have the ability to exercisesound engineering judgment, function on multidisciplinary teams, and communicate effectively in the work environment and with society at large.PEO examines the nature, quality, duration and currency of each applicants experience with one or more employers, and evaluates this experienceagainst prescribed criteria. Engineering experience should be compatible with the applicants particular area of academic qualification.

2.2. Criteria for Acceptable Engineering ExperienceA mandatory component o f acceptable engineering experience, application of theory, must be demonstrated over a substantial part (but notnecessarily all) of the internship period. It must be supplemented by exposure to, or experience in, the broad areas of practical experience,management, communication, and the social implications of engineering.

It is suggested that your Record be organized as follows:- Fo r each position about which you are reporting give the dates(day, month and year), position title, company nameand a paragraphdescribing your job responsibilities with an emphasis on the engineering duties; and

- Describe how the work experience obtained in that position meets each of the five criteria (application of theory, practical experience,management of engineering, communication skills and social implications of engineering) paying particular attention to the application oftheory.

2.2.1 Application of TheorySkilful application of theory is the hallmark of quality engineering work. Experience must therefore include meaningful participation in at least one aspectof the following applications of theory:

- analysis, including scope and operating conditions, performanceassessment, safety and environmental issues, technology assessment,economic assessment, reliability analysis;

- design and synthesis,including functionality or product specification,component se lection, integration o f components and sub-systems intolarger systems, reliability and maintenance factors, environmental andsocietal implications of the product or process, quality improvements;

- testing methods, including devising testing methodology andtechniques, verifying functional specifications, new product or technologycommissioning and assessment;

- implementation methods, including applying technology, engineeringcost studies, optimization techniques, process flow and time studies,implementing quality control and assurance, cost/benefit analysis, safety

and environmental issues and recommendations, maintenance andreplacement evaluation

2.2.2 Practical ExperiencePractical experience provides applicants with an appreciation of the fundamental roles of function, time, cost, reliability, reparability, safety andenvironmental impact in their work. Practical experience should include such components as:

- the function of components as part of the larger system, including,for example, opportunities to experience the merits of reliability, the role ofcomputer software, or the relationship of the end product to theequipment and to the equipment control systems;

- opportunities to experience and understand thelimitations of practicalengineering and related human systemsin achieving desired goals,including, for example, limitations of production methods, manufacturingtolerances, operating and maintenance philosophies, ergonomics;

- opportunities to experience the significance of time in the engineeringprocess, including difficulties of work flow, scheduling, equipment wearout, corrosion rates and replacement scheduling;

- opportunities to acquire knowledge and understanding of codes,standards, regulations and laws that govern applicable engineeringactivities.

2.2.3 Management of EngineeringManagement of engineering projects includes supervising staff, managing projects, being exposed generally to an engineering business environment,and managing technology from a societal perspective.Acceptable management components involve:

- planning, from identifying requirements, developing concepts, evaluatingalternative methods and assessing required resources, to planning for thesocial ramifications;

- scheduling, from establishing interactions and constraints, developingactivity or task schedules, allocating resources, and assessing the impactof delays, to determining and assessing projects interactions with otherprojects and the marketplace;

- budgeting, from developing conceptual and detailed budgets identifyinglabour, materials and overhead, to assessing risk o f cost escalation, andreviewing budgets in light of change;

- supervision, including leadership and professional conduct, organizinghuman resources, motivating teams, and managing technology;

- project control, requiring understanding of the elements of a greaterwhole, coordinating phases o f project work, and monitoring expendituresand schedules and taking corrective action;

- risk assessment, relating to operating equipment and systemperformance, technological risk, product performance, and social andenvironmental impacts.

2.2.4 Communication SkillsAn opportunity to develop communication skills is an important experience requirement. This applies to all areas of the work environment, includingcommunication with supervisors, co-workers, government regulators, clients and the general public. For an applicants experience in this area to be

acceptable, the applicant should have regular opportunities to participate in:- preparing written work, including day-to-day correspondence, designbriefs, and participating in preparing major reports;

- making oral reports or presentationsto co-workers, supervisors andsenior management, and to clients or regulatory authorities;

- making presentations to the general publicas such opportunitiesarise.

2.2.5 Social Implications of EngineeringAs emphasized in many of the experience components associated with the four quality-based criteria described above, the social implications ofengineering are an important aspect of engineering practice. A professional engineering work environment is one that heightens an applicantsawareness of any social consequences, both positive and negative, of an engineering activity undertaken.Experience in this area should foster an awareness of an engineers professional responsibility to guard against conditions dangerous or threatening tolife, limb, property, or the environment, and to call such conditions to the attention of those responsible.While not every project or activity will have direct or immediate social consequences, an applicants work experience should, nevertheless, instill anawareness of:

- the value or benefits of engineering works to the public;

- the safeguards in place to protect the employees and the publicand mitigate adverse impacts;

- the relationship between engineering activity and the public atlarge;

- the significant role of regulatory agencies on the practice ofengineering.
