e. The candidates will be expected
to be very familiar with technical
terms, including units and
dimensions as applicable to
his/her discipline.
Chapter 4
The Trainee‟s own contribution /
involvement in engineering
Council expects Trainee Engineers not to
remain as silent spectators of their
„supervisor‟. The candidate should
demonstrate in this chapter that they have
been actively involved in the engineering that
goes on in their environment and to that
effect they have:
a. contributed to the design activities
being undertaken by their office
colleagues or seniors (all design
calculations are to be hand-written
and worked out from first
principles. These are to be
included in the technical report,
though a computer-generated
output may be submitted as a
Page 4 of 4
support and confirmation of the
results of calculations);
b. monitored engineering quality,

efficiency and productivity at
various levels (namely planning,
procurement, installation,
execution, maintenance,
improvement, etc.)

 c. made proposals and submitted
reports or comments on
engineering aspects and problem
solving to seniors;
d. been able, where authorised, to
bring in significant improvement to
their engineering environment,
which was measurable either
through cost monitoring, quality of
product, impact upon environment
etc.
Council expects that the candidates will
demonstrate their involvement on the various
projects by reference to data tables,
statistics, charts, engineering formula and/or
specifications, diagrams, schematic etc.
Chapter 5
Analytical Tools
The Engineering process almost always end
up in a decision being taken and such
decisions can have as basis the engineer‟s
assessment of the probability of occurrence
of some events, and the relation between
certain events and their time of occurrences,
and their time of appraisal of investments
over machinery, payback periods, etc, etc.
It is expected therefore that the candidates
for registration demonstrate that they are
familiar with techniques that are utilised in
the decision process, and know at least a
particular technique and its applications.
Candidates should develop awareness of the
use of computers within their own branch of
engineering and in particular the use of
application software in their day to day work.
This chapter on Analytical Tools may not
necessarily be a chapter on its own. It can
be an Appendix to the Report and consist of

are better located here than in chapter 3 and
4.
Chapter 6
Conclusion
A concluding chapter, where the applicant is
expected to tell about his own perception of
his training period, as well as any short-
comings therein, any anticipated fields of
improvement, etc.
Note1 Each page of the report MUST be initialled
by the Supervisor. The Supervisor shall be
a registered Professional Engineer, qualified
in the applicant‟s field of expertise and with
at least 4 years of qualified Post-
Registration experience in engineering.
Note 2 Each applicant shall submit one original and
