Use these documents for Chartered assessment.
Areas of practice
Electrical Engineering
Electrical engineering deals with electricity generation, transmission, distribution, electrical equipment manufacture, instrumentation and control systems.
Environmental Engineering
Environmental engineering uses the core knowledge of the environment to create innovative solutions for a sustainable future.
Fire Safety Engineering
Fire safety engineering deals with the protection of life, property, and environment through the application of engineering principles, rules and judgement to the phenomenon of fire, its physical effects and the reaction and behaviour of people to fire.
Geotechnical Engineering
Geotechnical engineering deals with the mechanics of soil and rock and its applications to engineering elements.
Heritage and conservation engineering
Heritage and conservation engineering deals with the application and adaptation of all the traditional disciplines of engineering, together with an understanding of the elementary scientific principles involved which might not be directly referenced in current practice procedures.
Use these documents for NER or state registration assessment.
Areas of engineering
Geotechnical Engineering
Geotechnical engineering deals with the mechanics of soil and rock and its applications to engineering elements.
Information, Telecommunications and Electronics Engineering
Information, Telecommunications and Electronics Engineering (ITEE) deals with scientific and engineering design to develop computer modelling tools, broadband capability, improve telecommunications systems, hardware and software, systems for media broadcasting and sound, and sophisticated electronics.
Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineering deals with the application of the principles of engineering and physics with the study of advanced materials for the design, analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems.
Mechatronics Engineering
Mechatronics engineering is multidisciplinary and deals with integrating electrical and mechanical systems. It can include a combination of robotics, electronics, computing, telecommunications, systems, control, product engineering, and electronics to create functional, smart products.
Naval Architecture
Naval architecture deals with the safe design and specification of marine vessels and structures. The naval architect can also be involved in the construction, repair, refit or operation of such marine vessels and structures.
Competency assessments are used to ensure engineering professionals who want to work within Australia meet the benchmarked qualifications and competency standards to practise.
Engineers Australia uses two sets of competency standards per occupational category. Each one is used for a different purpose.
Entry to practice
Entry to practice assessments (sometimes called stage 1) are used to assess some membership applications and some migrant skills assessment applications.
If you need to complete an entry to practice competency assessment, you’ll be assessed against the entry to practice competencies for your occupational category.
Download the entry to practice competency assessment documents for:
- Professional engineers – includes summary statement: professional engineers
- Engineering technologists – includes summary statement: engineering technologists
- Engineering associates – includes summary statement: engineering associates
- Engineering manager – includes summary statement: engineering manager
Independent practice
If you want to apply for a Chartered or NER credential you’ll be assessed using an independent practice assessment (sometimes called stage 2). You’ll be assessed against the 16 elements of competency that are related to your occupational category. These sit across four core areas:
- Personal commitment.
- Obligation to community.
- Value in workplace.
- Technical proficiency.
