Description:

PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENT FOR YOUNG ENGINEERS

Ever played a leading role in a successful project but have nothing to show for it?

The engineering profession places a strong emphasis on Continuing Professional Development (CPD), technical advancement and peer recognition. Typically, five years of structured work experience and learning post-graduation is needed to develop and build up the evidence required for a successful competence assessment.
As a graduate engineer you need to get into the mindset of reflecting on your competency development, and recording your best work samples in a professional portfolio. Developing and evidencing your work experience and CPD will give you a head start towards professional membership and provide you with a useful and personalised career management tool during staff appraisals, mentoring meetings and professional interviews.

Learning Outcomes
This one-day course has been designed to show a young engineer how the development of self-reflective skills impact on professional development, the fulfillment of career aspirations and professional membership. By the end of the course, participants should be able to:
• Understand core competencies and critical weaknesses in experience
• Understand the application of management and motivational theory to career development of a professional engineer
• Develop a well presented self-reflective professional portfolio for IPENZ registration
• Develop personal strategies for advancement in the engineering profession

This course aligns with elements 10, 11 and 12 of the Competence Standard for professional engineers, engineering technicians and technologists.
