GUIDE TO STRUCTURED DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME 1 Introduction

The mission of the Professional Engineers Board (PEB) is to safeguard life, property, and welfare of the public by regulating and advancing the practice of professional engineering. The Structured Development Programme is an initiative to provide graduate engineers with guidance to assist them in their preparation to register with PEB and become fully qualified professional engineers. For a start, PEB is implementing the Structured Development Programme only for graduate engineers in civil engineering who wish to seek registration. However, the programme is not mandatory and a graduate engineer may choose to participate in the Structured Development Programme as part of his preparation to register or he may totally self-manage his preparation to register. The program does not guarantee a participant registration with PEB and participants will still need to meet all pertinent requirements for registration. 2 Registration of Professional Engineers

PEB registers professional engineers in the prescribed branches of engineering, namely, civil, electrical and mechanical engineering. A person applying for registration as a professional engineer is required to hold an approved degree or qualification, acquire relevant practical experience, sit and pass prescribed examinations and attend a professional interview conducted by the Board. After a person has obtained an approved degree or qualification, he may apply to sit for the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination (FEE). If he passes the FEE examination and has acquired a minimum of 4 years of practical experience, he may apply to sit for the Practice of Professional Engineering Examination (PPE). After passing the PPE, he may apply to PEB for registration. At this stage, he would be required to attend a professional interview, where the duration, adequacy, and relevance of practical experience would be assessed. Upon passing the interview, his application for PE registration may be approved. 3 Practical Experience Requirement

The practical experience that a person is required to obtain shall be not less than 4 years of practical experience in such professional engineering work and at such level of responsibility as to be sufficiently competent for registration as a professional engineer. In particular, the type of practical experience a person must have in order to be entitled to registration under the Act shall be as follows:

a) Where the person seeks to be registered in the civil engineering discipline, he is required to have practical experience obtained -


(i) during a period of not less than 12 months in a design office whilst

under the supervision of a registered PE who has in force a practising certificate; and

(ii) during a period of at least 12 months in supervisory work at a

project site or engineering investigation work whilst under the supervision of a registered PE who has in force a practising certificate.

b) Where the person seeks to be registered in the electrical or mechanical

engineering discipline, he is required to have practical experience in electrical or mechanical engineering work, as the case may be, obtained during a period of not less than 2 years whilst under the supervision of a registered PE who has in force a practising certificate.

c) Where the person is engaged in full-time teaching or research work, he is

required to have relevant practical experience acceptable to the Board obtained during a period of not less than two years whilst under the supervision of a registered PE who has in force a practising certificate.

4 Participation in the Structured Development Programme

The objective of the Structured Development Programme is to assist an engineer who wishes to apply for registration acquire relevant practical experience. A participant in the programme is required to work under the guidance of a Supervisor and an Advisor to systematically acquire relevant practical experience and develop competencies to the standard expected of a professional engineer. A participant would be required to keep detailed records of his practical experience, and he and his Supervisor and Advisor would be required to report regularly on the participant’s progress and development. 5 Roles and Responsibilities of the Supervisor and Advisor

Two professional engineers (PEs) in the same branch of engineering, a Supervisor and an Advisor respectively, will act as mentors to the participant. The Supervisor, is a PE who is the participant’s immediate superior/senior in his organization/company or employer, while the Advisor is a PE not from the participant’s organization/company. The Supervisor is required to have more than 5 years of experience as a PE while the Advisor is required to have more than 15 years of experience as a PE. Each of them is required to have a PC during the mentoring period. The Supervisor should ensure that the applicant is able to obtain relevant practical experience as required by the PE Act and Rules. Where the organisation/company could not provide the required practical experience or training in-house, the Supervisor would be required to take appropriate measures eg attachment to external organisations for design or supervision experience, to fulfil his role and responsibilities as Supervisor.


A participant would need to seek the concurrence of a PE, subject to PEB’s acceptance, to be involved as his Supervisor. The Supervisor would be required to sign a letter of agreement to this effect. As for Advisor, PEB will appoint an Advisor from a panel of PE Advisors set up by the Board.

The primary roles of the 2 PEs are to provide personal training and guidance to the candidate to acquire relevant practical experience and develop competencies. The Supervisor is required to provide the candidate training and the opportunities to acquire relevant practical experience and core PE competencies while the Advisor would be required to provide, in consultation with the Supervisor, advice and guidance to the candidate at various times during the programme. In carrying out their roles as Supervisor and Advisor, the 2 PEs should take into full consideration the competence standard required of a PE. The competence standard comprises of a series of competence elements and performance indicators (See Annex A-1 to A-2). They correspond to various registration requirements as stipulated in the PE Act and are assessed when the applicant sits for the FEE/PPE and attend the professional interview (See Annex A-3). In particular, the Supervisor and Advisor should provide guidance and opportunities to the candidate to acquire training and practical experience that would meet the requirements of the competence elements and performance indicators that would be assessed at the professional interview (See Annex A-4). The responsibilities of a Supervisor are:

a) To submit to PEB a letter of agreement to be Supervisor (See Annex B). b) To provide a participant guidance and training in relevant areas of

engineering practice. c) To provide a participant opportunities to acquire core competencies in

relevant areas of engineering practice. d) To develop in consultation with the participant a structured programme for

the development and training of the participant. e) To provide a participant access to opportunities for continuing education. f) To conduct periodic discussions/meetings with the participant to review

his progress. g) To provide guidance to the candidate on how to improve his performance

and competence.


h) To verify the training and practical experience recorded by the participant. i) To submit to PEB quarterly assessment reports of the candidate.

The responsibilities of an Advisor are:

a) To provide advice and guidance to the participant at various times during the programme.

b) To review and advice on the structured programme for the development and training of the participant.

c) To conduct periodic discussions/meetings with the candidate to advise on

his progress. d) To provide advice to the candidate on how to improve his performance

and competence. e) To verify the training and practical experience recorded by the participant. f) To submit to PEB quarterly assessment reports of the candidate.

6 Roles and Responsibilities of the Participant

To participate in the programme, a person is required to have an approved degree or qualification. This requirement is deemed satisfied when he has applied and been accepted to sit for the FEE. Following this, he may proceed to apply to participate in the programme. The roles of the participant are to participate actively in the Structured Development Program to obtain and gain appropriate training and experience under the guidance and advice of his Supervisor and Advisor. The responsibilities of a participant are as follows:

a) To comply with all the requirements of the Structured Development Programme.

b) To apply to PEB to participate in the Structured Development Programme

( Annex C). c) To obtain the agreement of a PE who is the immediate superior/senior in

his organization/company or employer to be the Supervisor (Annex B). d) To develop in consultation with his Supervisor a structured programme for

development and training.


e) To meet his Supervisor and Advisor to discuss and review his progress. f) To document in his log book the progress of his training and development. g) To submit to the PEB quarterly reports on his training and development.

7 Documentation And Review

Log Book

A candidate would be required to submit a Log Book, comprising a compilation of Log Book forms (Annex D), which records the details of relevant practical experience acquired. Where training is received, this shall also be documented and detailed in the Log Book. The Log Book would be reviewed, verified and endorsed by the candidate’s Supervisor and Advisor at monthly intervals.

Quarterly Reports

Assessment reports of a participant shall be prepared by his Supervisor and Advisor and submitted to PEB. On the basis of involvement and interaction with the participant in relation to his training and acquisition of practical experience, the Supervisor and Advisor shall assess the participant’s progress and development in meeting the competence standard of a PE. The reports shall be submitted to PEB on a quarterly basis (Annex E).

Submission to PEB

To complete the program, a participant is required to remain on the Structured Development Programme for a minimum of 2 years, of which at least 1 year is spent in one single organization/company. Where the minimum period of 2 years and other requirements of the program are fulfilled, PEB would issue to the participant a letter for the successful completion of the Structured Development Program. This letter, together with the Log Book and the assessment reports, may then be included as part of his submission for application to register as a PE. The Log Book and the assessment report forms would be considered as evidence demonstrating the engineer’s effort and involvement in actively acquiring relevant practical experience to meet the competence standard of a PE under supervision of a PE.

Competence Standard of A Professional Engineer Guidelines For Professional Interview For Registration as PE 1 Under the Professional Engineers Act, an applicant applying for registration with the Board must satisfy several requirements to be entitled to registration. The requirements are:-

a) Appropriate qualifications – Section 15(1); b) Appropriate experience – Section 15(2)(a); c) Sat and passed prescribed examinations – Section 15(2)(b) d) Good character and reputation – Section 15(4)(a); and e) Able to carry out the duties of a professional engineer effectively – Section 15(4)(b).

2 To register as a PE, an applicant is required to provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate that he has met the competence standard expected of a professional engineer. One major aspect of such evidence would be sitting and passing the prescribed examinations. In particular, passing the Professional Practice Examination is an assurance that the applicant has acquired the necessary competencies in professional engineering practice to a substantial extent. 3 In addition, the PE Act requires that such competence should be acquired on the basis of practical experience that is of an appropriate standard. The requirements on practical experience as provided in the PE Act Section 15(2)(a) are as follows:-

15(2)(a) Acquired not less than 4 years practical experience in such professional engineering work and at such level of responsibility as to be sufficiently competent for registration as a professional engineer under this Act;

4 Therefore, the purpose of the professional interview is to determine the following:-

a) The duration and adequacy of practical experience; b) The type, quality and relevance of practical engineering experience; c) The character and reputation; and d) The ability to carry out the duties of a professional engineer effectively.

5 The professional interview process comprises 3 components: review of the Summary Of Post-Graduate Professional Experience, assessment of the Report on Post Graduate Engineering Experience and attending the interview. Summary Of Post-Graduate Professional Experience 6 The applicant is required to submit a chronological summary of his work history including a description of previous employment positions held and degree of responsibility in each position, nature and cost of projects involved, the professional engineers who had supervised the applicant ( see section 7 below), etc. The summary should indicate the activities that the applicant has undertaken in his past and present work roles that demonstrate that he has acquired competency in each element indicated in the Checklist for Professional Interview in Appendix A. (Use abbreviations PRO, DDS, EVA, RFD, MEA, JUD and COM as applicable) 7 In terms of the duration of practical experience, a minimum of 4 years of relevant practical experience has to be acquired. In addition, PE Rules section 5 requires that :



5 (a) where the person seeks to be registered in the civil engineering discipline, the practical experience shall be obtained —

(i) during a period of not less than 12 months in a design office whilst under the supervision of a registered professional engineer who has in force a practising certificate; and

(ii) during a period of at least 12 months in supervisory work at a project site or engineering investigation work whilst under the supervision of a registered professional engineer who has in force a practising certificate;

5(b) where the person seeks to be registered in the electrical or mechanical engineering discipline, the practical experience shall be practical experience in electrical or mechanical engineering work, as the case may be, obtained during a period of not less than 2 years whilst under the supervision of a registered professional engineer who has in force a practising certificate;

5(d) where the person is engaged in full-time teaching or research work, such relevant practical experience as may be acceptable to the Board obtained during a period of not less than two years whilst under the supervision of a registered professional engineer who has in force a practising certificate.

8 For Civil Engineering, a minimum of 12 months practical experience is stipulated for both design and supervision experience respectively in the Professional Engineers Rules as mentioned above. There are no such requirements for the other branches of engineering in terms of practical experience. Report on Post Graduate Engineering Experience 9 The applicant is required to submit a 2,000- 4,000 words Report on Post Graduate Engineering Experience (word count of the report should be indicated). In the Report on Post Graduate Engineering Experience , the applicant is required to describe in detail his involvement in not more than 4 projects that he regards as the highlights of his professional experience in the branch of engineering that he is seeking registration. 10 For each project, the applicant shall describe his involvement in the technical, managerial, contractual, regulatory and other areas that he was involved in. He shall describe his personal contribution and responsibilities, the problems he faced, the solution(s) he found, the engineering and other judgments he made and the impact his solution(s) and judgments generated. 11 In preparing his report, he shall refer to the Checklist For Professional Interview in Appendix A and demonstrate how he has achieved all of the elements of competence in the checklist ( competence element(s) addressed should be indicated in the headings of the write-up or in the margins of the pages). The wording of the report for each project should be such as to clearly indicate how these elements have been demonstrated. 12 Upon receiving an application for registration, an interview panel would be appointed to assess the application. The panel would conduct a desktop assessment to assess if the report is adequate. The assessment shall be carried out on the basis of the checklist as shown in Appendix A. Following the assessment, the applicant will be invited to a Professional Interview (PI). Professional Interview 13 The professional interview (PI) is a review of the competencies that the applicant has claimed in his report. At the start of the PI the applicant would be invited to make an uninterrupted 10-minute presentation of one or more of his projects highlighted in his report. 14 During the remainder of the PI, the applicant would be expected to discuss with the panel on his involvement in achieving the various competence elements as presented in his report. The applicant is also expected to answer questions on other aspects relating to his application and professional practice such as the summary of post graduate experience. The interview is expected to be about 45 minutes.



15 Following the interview, the applicant may be asked to provide further information or clarification. The additional submissions if required are to be made within 3 months of the request after which the panel may proceed with the assessment with or without the additional submissions. 16 The applicant shall be informed in writing of the result of the interview. For an unsuccessful applicant, a minimum period of deferment of 12 months would be imposed before he could make another application.
