APEGS Work Experience Reporting: What Every Engineer Must Know
Engineers in Saskatchewan face a key step toward licensure, which is the APEGS work experience reporting. This process checks if you meet the skills needed to practice safely and ethically. Many skip details here, which delays their career.
The Role of the Professional Engineering and Geoscientists of
Saskatchewan (APEGS)
APEGS sets rules for engineers and
geoscientists in the province. They ensure public safety through strict
standards. Their bylaws cover how you report work experience.
You must follow these guidelines to gain
registration. APEGS reviews submissions to confirm competence. Non-compliance
can lead to rejection or extra steps.
Key APEGS Experience Reporting
Terminology
Learn the terms to prevent
misunderstandings. A “Supervising Professional” is there to direct you through
your project. A “Supervising Professional” requires P.Eng. membership or
equivalent.
“Work Period” refers to segments of time
on projects that could be one year. It is important to segment your work life
this way. “Discipline-Specific Knowledge” relates to knowledge within your
discipline. This could include civil or mechanical engineering.
“Professionalism” includes soft skills
such as “Reliability.” These terms can be used in your APEGS experience reporting.
Selection and Effective
Use of Your Confirmer(s)
Choose your confirmers well. Your
confirmers should be P.Eng. members in good standing with APEGS. Choose your
supervisors or mentors from recent projects.
Explanations of your needs to them.
Sharing your draft reports with them. Their signature evidences your completion
of the APEGS work experience reporting.
Aligning Work Descriptions with APEGS
Competency Indicators
When crafting your work descriptions,
link your tasks to the APEGS competency indicators. Begin your statements with
action verbs such as designed, analysed, or led. Not only include your job
responsibilities, but also define your achievements and their significance.
For technical skills, you could write:
“Solved problems related to calculating flows of pipes to avoid flooding and
ensure safety for 500 homes.”
Final Say
To ensure your APEGS work experience reporting
is accurate, it is essential to maintain good documentation skills and select
competent confirmers. Also, it is important to have your examples directly
answer the competency indicators. It is easy to have errors like poor
descriptions and a lack of details in your report.
