Insiya Challawala Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hello members, I am in the process of preparing CDR to get my skills assessed. I am mostly done with the CEs but now stuck at the Summary Statement. I have a 4 year Bachelor degree in Electronics and Communication and have been working in the Semicinductor-IT field for 5+ years. My work mainly involves programming for ASIC verification purpose. I am confused whether I should prepare the Summary Statement as a Professional Engineer or Engineering Technologist. I would appreciate if you could give your opinion on the same. Thanks in anticipation Insiya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiM Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Try to find definitions of technologist and p.eng. in EA booklet and compare them to your work experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insiya Challawala Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Try to find definitions of technologist and p.eng. in EA booklet and compare them to your work experience. If I compare my work experience to the MSA booklet definitions, I am more inclined to apply as an E.T. But I read in a couple of posts that a 4 year degree holder should rather go for P.E. -I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiM Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 There have been cases where people applied as ETs and later they have been asked by EA if they would like to be recognized as PEs according to the facts from their applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in anticipation Insiya You should apply as a Professional Engineer very likely as an Electronics Engineer. Do you use proper verification languages or general purposes programming languages? PS: Make sure your summary statement covers all aspects of PE assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi toOz, Yes, I use the verification language System Verilog extensively. Actually speaking, I found most of the elements similar in both ET and PE summary statements. I am a bit confused on this one => "Application of established engineering methods to complex engineering problem solving" Not sure what is expected out of "established engineering method" here. Could you give an example that could nudge me forward please. -I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toOZ2012 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Can't remember what I put in mine, it's been so long but you should be able to find some template CDRs online. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiM Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Why don't you go ahead and ask EA for advice? They are kinda slow but they do answer emails and if you are in a hurry maybe you can give them a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toOZ2012 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Actually, I just looked up my summary statement and it looks to be different to the current one. Without spending anymore time, my guess for what you asked would be: Use of mathematical techniques to model and solve complex engineering problems.

Insiya Challawala Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 @toOz - Ah I see! I do need more brainstorming here I guess. @MiM - Thanks. I didn't know we could directly ask EA for help. If that is the case, I would try to get in touch with them today. -I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insiya Challawala Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Here I go..This doc elaborates each element http://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/sites/default/files/shado/Education/Program%20Accreditation/110318%20Stage%201%20Professional%20Engineer.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insiya Challawala Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 By the way, ideally how many words do they expect us to write when summarizing each competency element? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toOZ2012 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 3 to 4 sentences on average should do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptlabs Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 By the way, ideally how many words do they expect us to write when summarizing each competency element? It's always about quality, never about quantity :-) Good luck! Regards Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toOZ2012 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 It's always about quality, never about quantity :-) Good luck! Regards Peter Can't really make the qualitative vs quantitative distinction when each element is only a few sentences It's essentially bullet point covering relevant parts of the CDR. BTW, just visited your website. Do you provide CDR writing services from verbal descriptions of projects done? I know a guy who will easily qualify for offshore migration but is just too lazy to write CDRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not provide services that are unlawful, if that's what you are asking Regards Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit like resume writing service, the information needs to be put in the right format based on the applicant's actual career history etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
