Excellent - cheers

all done

Fair play kearnsr, hope it all goes well. Is it just a report and not a formal exam. I am pretty sure the PE here in the US is an exam.

Its a report and interview

You have to do a PE exam in the US for each state you want to practice. I worked in NY and at the time I was told that you cant transfer your chatership to the title of PE. In Canada yes but America no

Good luck. I can imagine it being quite difficult to become chartered engineers with the IEI based on work in this country for the next while seeing as anyone who hasn't built up experience by now will be hard pressed to do so in the next few years

sul02 · 30-01-2009 07:25PM

congrats kearnsr thats a big achievement, what area are you working in? Did your company provide a mentor etc for this? i know PM groups graduate programme is geared toward becoming chartered, however the company i work for does not and there are no chartered engineers working there - possibly a major drawback?

I work as a civil enigneer but I'm a bit of a jack of all trades and have done everything from structural engineering to transport engineering.

I've worked for a few companies so its hard to have a mentor from place to place so I just kept a record of what I had worked on (I kept reports etc that I could use for a later date to refer back to).

Working with a company with no chartered eningeers is bad from a business point of view. At the very least you should have a one per group in there (one chatered one senior one enigneer two grads 2/3 cad lads)

I also applied for mine at the end of Jan and over the last 11 years, like yourself, had worked neither with any Chartered Engineers nor within any structures geared towards Chartered status (I work in manufacturing, so they seem to be rarer than in civil / structural / public sector). Instead I proposed my current and last bosses, both of whom have degrees in Engineering and senior positions and both were accepted.

Report assessment day is Feb 25th - hopefully they'll accept my report is up to the required standard and I'll go forward to interview.

godtabh · 06-03-2009 11:58PM

Got the interview dates to day. 23rd of March. Not much time to prepare plus I've an exam that day and the day after so I'll be looking to do it another day

Dilbert75 · 13-03-2009 09:49PM

Mine is 31st March - more work to do now, prepare for that...

I wish that was the only thing I had to prepare for!

I have to do a presentation of a VISSIM network if that makes you feel any better

I work in manufacturing aswell, nearly 2 years now, another few to go before im eligible to apply. Any advice for someone in my position? Also do you think the 4yr min experience is realistic or would it take longer? Cheers for any info and good luck in the interview.

godtabh · 16-03-2009 11:38PM

keep an eye on what your doing. Keep a log or something. Your meant to do quarterly reports to track progress

Good luck with the chartership lads, unfortunatly i'm only finishing 3rd year this year so a long way left for me yet! I'm trying to make up my mind about what to do after college.

Just one thing I saw in an earlier post, does work experience outside Ireland not count towards chartership with EI?

I put a summer internship in america down as work experience. The one they really look at is responsible work experience i.e after you finish college

godtabh · 26-04-2009 07:20PM

Interview is tomorrow

pain in the arse preparing for it

Dilbert75 · 11-05-2009 11:23PM

How'd you get on?

godtabh · 12-05-2009 08:24AM

Its hard to tell. One or two tough questions that I didnt excel in but my boss reckons he wouldnt have known the answer so who knows.

should find out in June

Dilbert75 · 13-05-2009 09:55PM

Membership board seems to meet third week of the month so you should know late May / early June. If you get a letter addressed to Mr. So&so, CHARTERED ENGINEER, it'll be a clue...:)

murfie · 13-05-2009 10:09PM

they should put spoiler tags on the outside of the envelope! :P

Finger crossed for you kearnsr

godtabh · 15-05-2009 08:32PM

I was told the decision would be made the 27th and the letter the week later

The more I think about the interview the less well I think it went. You just cant tell

On a side note I meet on of the interviewers yesterday at a work meeting. He either didnt notice me or just ignored me. Its so easy to read things into something thats not there.

Dilbert75 · 25-05-2009 09:37PM

Don't worry about it - what's done is done. A cynic might suggest that the IEI would have to find something seriously dodgy about an applicant before they'll turn them down - the membership fees for C. Eng are higher than for Ordinary members.... I'd prefer to think they award it on merit though.
