Assessment of Non – Accredited Qualifications and Engineering Managers
A career episode is an account of your engineering education and/or work experience. Each career episode focuses upon a specific period or distinct aspect of your engineering activity. Each career episode must focus on a different period or aspect of your engineering activity. Each episode should focus on how you applied your engineering knowledge and skills in the nominated occupation.
You may base your career episode upon:
- an engineering task was undertaken as part of your educational program;
- a project you have worked on or are currently working on;
- a specific position that you occupied or currently occupy (in this case, the career episode must comprise more than a mere duty statement);
- a particular engineering problem that you were required to solve
Each career episode must be written in English, in your own words, and will act as evidence of your communication skills to your assessor.
Please include reliable and sufficient engineering evidence (diagrams, photos, calculations, tables, etc.) to support each career episode. Do not present excessive textbook materials and instructions. It is recommended that each narrative be a minimum of 1000 and a maximum of 2500 words.
Each career episode must clearly demonstrate the application of engineering knowledge and skills in the nominated occupation. That is, state what you did and describe how you did it, emphasizing your own personal role in the episode (for example, I designed and I investigated).
Career Episodes must be based on work conducted personally by you and must be written entirely in your own words. Presenting work conducted by others as your own and/or using other people’s words (templates, Career Episodes, online sources, etc.) is considered as plagiarism and is a violation of Engineers Australia’s Code of Ethics.
