Council expects that the candidates will demonstrate their involvement on the various projects by reference to data tables, statistics, charts, engineering formula and/or specifications, diagrams, schematic etc.

Chapter 5 Analytical Tools The Engineering process almost always end up in a decision being taken and such decisions can have as basis the engineer‟s assessment of the probability of occurrence of some events, and the relation between certain events and their time of occurrences, and their time of appraisal of investments over machinery, payback periods, etc, etc. It is expected therefore that the candidates for registration demonstrate that they are familiar with techniques that are utilised in the decision process, and know at least a particular technique and its applications.

A concluding chapter, where the applicant is expected to tell about his own perception of his training period, as well as any shortcomings therein, any anticipated fields of improvement, etc. Note1 Each page of the report MUST be initialled by the Supervisor. The Supervisor shall be a registered Professional Engineer, qualified in the applicant‟s field of expertise and with at least 4 years of qualified PostRegistration experience in engineering. Note 2 Each applicant shall submit one original and two copies of his / her technical report and his / her training log-book along with the application for registration. Note 3 Council encourages applicants to include their own drawings in their report. Council will NOT accept any drawings which have been drafted for a purpose other than the registration report, unless specific permission from the owner(s) of the drawings are included as part of the report.
