ASEAN CHARTERED PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS

GUIDELINES ON CRITERIA AND PROCEDURES

The purpose of these guidelines is to assist Monitoring Committees (MCs) of ASEAN Member Countries to develop a statement of criteria and procedures for submission to the ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineer Coordinating Committee (ACPECC). In accordance with this Arrangement, the eligibility of a Professional Engineer for designation as an ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineer (ACPE) is determined by reference to five performance criteria, which are to be considered as a package. Some of these criteria are relatively objective in nature, while others shall require the Monitoring Committee (MC) to exercise a measure of professional judgement, particularly in relation to exceptional Professional Engineers. These notes represent the benchmarks against which each criterion should be considered.

1.1 Completed an accredited or recognised engineering program, or ssessed and recognised as possessing the equivalent

In order to be listed on an ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineers Register ACPER), Professional Engineers must demonstrate to the relevant Monitoring Committee (MC) a level of academic achievement at, or following, completion of formal education substantially equivalent to that associated with successful completion of:

1.1.1 an engineering degree delivered and accredited in accordance with the best practice guidelines developed by a recognised institution of each ASEAN Member Country; or

1.1.2 an engineering program accredited by a body independent of the education provider, or an examination set by an authorised body within a country, provided that the accreditation criteria and procedures, or the examination standards, as appropriate, have been submitted by one or more Monitoring Committees (MCs) to, and have been endorsed by the ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineer Coordinating Committee (ACPECC).

This approach does not restrict participation to countries in which engineering programs are accredited, or examinations set, by an independent professional body, and does not imply that acceptable academic achievement can be demonstrated only within the context of an engineering degree program.

1.2 Been assessed within their own jurisdiction as eligible for independent practice

The assessment may be undertaken by the Monitoring Committee (MC) or by the Professional Regulatory Authority (PRA) within the Country of Origin.

1.3 Gained a minimum of seven years practical experience since graduation

The exact definition of practical experience shall be at the discretion of the Monitoring Committee (MC) concerned, but the work in question should be clearly relevant to the fields of engineering in which the Professional Engineers claim expertise.

During the initial period, the Professional Engineers should have participated in a range of roles and activities appropriate to these fields of engineering. However, their roles while they are in responsible charge of significant engineering work may be more focused.

1.4 Spent at least two years in responsible charge of significant engineering work

The definition of significant engineering work will vary between ASEAN Members Countries and disciplines. As a general guideline, the work should have required the exercise of independent engineering judgment, the projects or programs concerned should have been substantial in duration, cost, or complexity, and the Professional Engineer should have been personally accountable for their implementation. In general, a Professional Engineer may be taken to have been in responsible charge of significant engineering work when they have:

1.4.1 planned, designed, coordinated and executed a small project; or

1.4.2 undertaken part of a larger project based on an understanding of the whole project; or

1.4.3 undertaken novel, complex and/or multi-disciplinary work

The specified period of two years may have been completed in he course of the seven years practical experience since graduation, see Appendix IV B - Example II , C - Example III and D - Example IV .

1.5 Complied with the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) policy at a satisfactory level

The nature and extent of the required compliance with Continuing Professional Development (CPD), and the manner in which such compliance is audited, shall remain at the discretion of the Monitoring Committee (MC) concerned, but should reflect the prevailing norms for such compliance by Professional ngineers within the ASEAN Member Countries.

1.6 Registered ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineers ACPE) must agree to the following:

1.6.1 Codes of professional conduct . All Professional Engineers seeking registration as ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineers (ACPEs) must also agree to be bound by local and international codes of professional conduct and with the policy on ethics and conducts established and enforced by the Country of Origin and by any other jurisdiction within which they are practising.

Such codes normally include requirements that Professional Engineers place the health, safety, environment, and welfare of the community above their responsibilities to clients and colleagues, practice only within their area of competence, and advise their clients when additional professional assistance becomes necessary in order to implement a program or project.

Monitoring Committees (MCs) are required to certify that at registration the candidate has signed a statement of compliance with such applicable professional codes.

1.6.2 Accountability . ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineers (ACPEs) must also agree to be held individually accountable for their actions taken in their professional work, both through requirements imposed by the licensing and/or registering body in the jurisdictions in which they work and through the legal processes of such jurisdictions.

Appendix III

ASEAN CHARTERED PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER ASSESSMENT STATEMENT

The preparation of an Assessment Statement for assessing Professional Engineers seeking registration as an ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineer (ACPE) shall involve identification and assessment of the following elements by the Monitoring Committee (MC) in each participating ASEAN Member Countries.

1.1 One or more mechanisms for accrediting or recognising:

1.1.1 structured educational programs which qualify graduates engineers to enter professionals engineering practice; and/or

1.1.2 assessment instruments which provide an alternative or supplementary mechanism for graduate engineers to demonstrate that they have reached an appropriate educational standard.

2.1 One or more mechanisms for assessing qualified graduate engineers as being eligible for independent professional engineering practice, normally after those graduate engineers have completed a period of supervised or monitored professional experience.

3.1 A mechanism for confirming that independent engineering Professional Engineers have:

3.1.1 gained a minimum of seven years practical experience since graduation;

3.1.2 completed at least two years in responsible charge of significant engineering work;

3.1.3 complied with the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) policy of the Country of Origin at a satisfactory level; and

3.1.4 complied with, and are bound by, an appropriate code of conduct.

4.1 A mechanism for ensuring that registrants are audited at regular intervals to ensure that they have continued to comply with the conditions of registration. For each element, the Assessment Statement for each ASEAN Member Country may include:

4.1.1 mechanisms applicable to Professional Engineers in all disciplines;

4.1.2 mechanisms applicable to Professional Engineers in specified disciplines,

4.1.3 national, regional and provincial mechanisms, and

4.1.4 existing or superseded mechanisms

which are recognised by the Monitoring Committee (MC) of each ASEAN Member Country in assessing candidates for registration as ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineers (ACPEs). The Monitoring Committee (MC) may attach restrictions to any or all mechanisms (for example, by requiring that assessment under a mechanism be accepted only in respect of graduate engineers who completed that process by a specified date, or who gained a specified minimum period of practical experience in the relevant discipline or disciplines). All such restrictions must be clearly identified. Assessment Statements are intended to be dynamic documents, with necessary amendments being effected by the responsible Monitoring Committee (MC) from time to time and notified to the ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineer Coordinating Committee (ACPECC), through the Secretariat.
