What's On

Articulation – what’s it all about?

The National Articulation Committee was set up in 2001 to assist Associates and Technologists with at least five years experience to achieve Stage 1 Competency for the categories of Technologist and Professional Engineer, respectively, by means other than through completion of benchmark qualifications. The first term of reference was to:

Receive inquiries from candidates who wish to articulate to a different membership category of Engineers Australia and advise each candidate on a suitable pathway or pathways to accomplish such articulation, taking into account the candidate’s existing qualifications and experience and current circumstances.

The benchmark qualifications that satisfy Stage 1 Competency are:

for a Professional Engineer: an accredited four-year Australian Bachelor of Engineering degree,
for an Engineering Technologist: an accredited three-year Australian Bachelor of Engineering Technology degree, and
for an Engineering Associate (Officer): a recognised two-year Australian (AQF6) Advanced Diploma or Associate Degree.

Overall, access to an articulation process since 2001 has assisted some 100 Members to articulate to a different category, the majority becoming Professional Engineers.

One of the most pleasing aspects of the articulation program is the enthusiasm with which many of the articulation candidates have approached their studies. A common comment from successful candidates has been that the studies have been most useful in their career and they feel that they are better engineers as a result.
