Sample CDR for Electrical Engineers
Here is a sample of CDR provided below to help the students prepare their own CDR and career
episode reports.
1.1 Introduction
Chronology: (All dates and duration of the career episodes)
Geographical Location: (Location where the experience has been gained)
Organization: (Name of the company/companies where you have been a part of the projects)
Designation: (The Title or Project Designation offered at different career episodes)
1.2 Background
1.2.1) I have worked as a power system maintenance engineer for an extended period of 23 rd August, 2006 to 6th May
2012. I was dealing with all major projects related to power systems allocated to me. I was responsible to administer
and testing operations and maintenance of electrical machines, switch gears, transmission cables and auxiliary fittings
before it was delivered to client sites.
1.2.2) I implemented all my skills and knowledge that I gained during my graduation in electrical engineering. I was
elated to improvise my technical skills in testing the electrical machines and equipments. I dedicated all effort to
maintain the power system equipments with adequate research work in the specified field. I processed the
malfunctioning equipments with concepts of circuit theory. I was accompanied with great team members who had huge
contribution in my success as a maintenance engineer.
1.2.3) I had been assigned to handle and solve the frequent breakdown in the power system equipments that were ready
to be delivered to client sites. I was extremely determined to achieve my task with constant monitoring and evaluation
processes. It was a challenging task for me whose accomplishment gave me recognition and promotion in my company.
1.3 Career Episodes
First career Episode: I was selected as a project engineer in the application of power system with UHDE Power
Supplies. The project period extended from 18th October, 2007 till 25th February, 2009. The working period was split in
two distinct places: First ten months in Saudi Arabia, next six months in Emirates.
Second Career Episode: Worked as a power system supervisor in SAFCO project. Duration was from 15 th April, 2009
to July 2009. This period was again spent in Jubail city of Saudi Arabia.
Third Career Episode: I was nominated as the process engineer in Ammonia plant. My responsibility was to prepare
sustainability load test for the worlds largest ammonia power plant. The duration of this project extended from 22nd
November, 2009 till 9thJuly, 2011, in Dormant, Germany.
1.4 Summary Statement
On evaluating the above three career episodes I would summarize my experience as testing the electrical parameters,
contesting data collected from the field and control room, laboratory analysis of ampere per KWH generated through
the electrical equipments. I was a responsible decision-maker to enhance the operations systems and design plants as
per the specifications. I was the sole investigator to find out the cause and effect of frequent shut-downs and inevitable
trips. Being a part of the engineering team responsible for making final reports, I took appropriate measures to prevent
any future hazards.
1.5 Curriculum Vitae (CV)
Objective: I am eagerly seeking for a position to utilize my technical skills and commercial experience in the field of
Electrical Engineering. I would prefer to flourish career in an innovative industry environment with the possibility of
career development.

 Objective
CPD activities are designed to extend or update your knowledge, skill or judgement in your area(s) of
practice, and enable you to:

Maintain technical competence

Retain and enhance effectiveness in the workplace
Be able to help, influence and lead others by example
Successfully deal with changes in your career
Better serve the community.

Requirements
Chartered Professional Engineers, Chartered Engineering Technologists and Chartered Engineering

CPD Policy.pdf

Associates should be aware of the obligation to meet the Continuing Professional

Development Policy.

Minimum requirement
Your CPD records must document a minimum of 150 hours of structured CPD over a three-year
period* **.

Specific requirements
For all practitioners, of the 150 hours:

At least 50 hours must relate to your area(s) of practice

At least 10 hours must cover risk management
At least 15 hours must address business and management skills
The remainder must cover a range of activities relevant to your career & interests.

*For engineering academics and teachers: in addition to the 150 hours, practitioners must demonstrate
at least 40 hours industry involvement in any three-year period. (If the industry involvement satisfies the
other CPD criteria, it may be included as part of the submitted CPD hours. Otherwise, the industry
involvement is an additional requirement.)

**Special provisions for part-time workers also apply. Please refer to Clause 3.4 of the Continuing
Professional Development Policy.

CPD for multiple Colleges

If you have more than one practising area, you must record at least 50 hours related to each of your
practising areas. For example, if you are in the Civil and Structural Colleges, you will need to record at
least 50 hours related to Civil and at least 50 hours related to Structural.

Some technical CPD activities may overlap covering both Civil and Structural. You may label such
activities as Civil related as well as Structural related CPD.

The diagram below illustrates this situation for an example where 15 hours are considered as both Civil
and Structural in nature, requiring an additional minimum of 35 hours in Structural and an additional
separate lot of 35 hours in Civil to meet the requirement of 50 hours in each area of practice.
In addition, 65 or more hours of CPD meeting other specific requirements should be recorded so that
the total CPD hours will be 150 hours or more over the last three years. The 65 hours should include 10
hours covering risk management; 15 hours addressing business and management skills; and 40 hours
of any CPD activities.

For Chartered Members who obtained an additional College membership or an additional Area of
Practice (National Registration), the next CPD and Practice Review date will still be five years from the
admission date of their original College(s) or the previous Review completion date.

Career Break Provision

The CPD requirements are more flexible for Chartered members who have been on a career break of
at least six months during the three year period.

Such members must complete 150 hours of CPD over five years rather than the standard three years.

Members should refer to the Career Breaks Policy for details.

Working Towards Chartered Membership

If you are currently working towards achieving your Chartered Membership directly on the Engineering
Competency Report Pathway (ECR Pathway), the Professional Development Program Pathway (PDP
Pathway) or the Mature Experienced Engineers Pathway (MEE Pathway), you must have completed
the full requirement of 150 hours over the last three years.

If you are applying through a Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA Pathway), you should note that
some MRAs require that you present records of 150 hours CPD over the last three years; if the MRA
does not include this requirement, you may be expected to present your current CPD records

Types of CPD
CPD Activities have been classified into the following Types:

I. Formal post-graduate study and individual tertiary course units not undertaken for award purposes

II. Short courses, workshops, seminars and discussion groups, conferences, technical inspections and
technical meetings, including Engineers Australia meetings, where these are delivered or facilitated by
recognised practitioners in the field

III. Learning activities in the workplace that extend your area of practice competence base

IV. Private study which extends your knowledge and skills in your area of practice and/or in the core
areas of risk management, business and management skills outlined above

V. Service to the engineering profession

VI. The preparation and presentation of material for courses, conferences, seminars and symposia
VII. Chartered members employed in tertiary teaching and/or academic research

VIII. Any other structured activities not covered by I to VII above that meet the objectives of the policy.
