Chartered ActivitiesThe Chartered title may be held by those in the Member and Fellow grades in each occupational category: Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng), Chartered Engineering Technologist (CEngT) and Chartered Engineering Officer (CEngO). The Chartered titles are exclusive to Engineers Australia. They stand for the highest standards of professionalism, up-to-date expertise, quality and safety, and for capacity to undertake independent practice and to exercise leadership within the engineering team. As well as competence, they denote commitment to keep pace with advancing knowledge and with the increasing expectations and requirements for which any profession must take public responsibility. Chartered Status should be the aspiration of members engaged at the leading edge in all fields of engineering endeavour. In order to help members gain detailed information on obtaining Chartered Status, the Victoria Division has devised a series of Presentations and Workshops to assist in this process. In 2008 we are pleased to advise we will offer a new workshop which outlines the process of preparing for the Chartered Status Interview. Members have been requesting more detailed information on this topic for some time, so we are pleased to be able to meet this demand. Each of these sessions are conducted by one of the National Assessors for Victoria and include the following: Chartered Engineering Presentation1. The process of becoming a Chartered Engineer. This 2-hour presentation covers the significance and benefits of Chartered status and describes the steps involved in making a successful application. You will be guided through the process of preparing the verified Career Episode Reports that comprise your Engineering Practice Report (EPR). The National Assessor will also discuss how to satisfactorily demonstrate the Units and Elements of Competency, and what happens at a Professional Interview. At the end of the presentation, you will have the necessary information to confidently proceed towards Chartered status. Please use the following link to download a Chartered Status Handbook.
