Competency Demonstration Report (CDR) - Materials Engineering

Compilation of an accomplished Competency Demonstration Report (CDR) describing my engineering practice; [login to view URL] Engineer. The purpose of the CDR is to demonstrate how I have applied my engineering knowledge and skills; The major assessable features of the CDR are narratives written in English of three career episodes and a Summary Statement of the competency elements followed by Identification of Continuing Professional Development Career Episodes I need to present an account of engineering activities on each of three separate career episodes. A career episode is a documented component of my engineering education and/or work experience which captures a particular period or distinct aspect of my engineering activity. It needs to clearly demonstrate the application of engineering knowledge and skills in the nominated occupation, not the acquisition of knowledge. It may use materials from: • an engineering task undertaken as part of my educational program; • a project I have worked on or are currently working on; • a specific position that I occupied or currently occupy (in this case, the career episode must comprise more than a mere duty statement); • a particular engineering problem that I were required to solve. Do not present large amounts of technical material. It is recommended that each narrative be a minimum of about 1000 words and a maximum of about 2000 words. Each career episode must clearly demonstrate the application of engineering knowledge and skills in the engineering discipline. That is, state "what you did" and describe "how you did it", with emphasis on your own personal actions, eg "I designed...", "I investigated...". Excessive technical detail (diagrams, photos, calculations, tables) are not required. Each career episode should emphasize any engineering problems identified and any particular problem solving techniques used by you. The purpose of this is to assess the nature of the contribution which you may have made to the engineering project or task - particularly if that contribution was of a novel nature or critical to the implementation of the task/project. Please note that it is not sufficient to merely describe work in which you were involved. Your own role in the work must be clearly described by you, and be identifiable in the assessment. Further details and guidelines are attached with this including sample report.
