Use this material to examine your own work. Confirm current requirements, forms and dates with ICE before applying.
Review technical work against ICE attributes at Engineering Technician level.
Read the EngTech column
ICE publishes different expectations for EngTech, IEng and CEng. Use the EngTech wording and consider every required part. The headings below identify the areas; the official source gives the complete requirements. One project may support several areas, but explain the contribution relevant to each.
Explore each attribute
- 01
Understanding and Practical Application of Engineering
Read selecting a method and checking a practical result. A checked measurement record, method note or annotated drawing.
- 02
Management and Leadership
Read organising work and accepting responsibility. An issue schedule, task plan or quality record.
- 03
Commercial Ability
Read using time and resources with regard to cost. A task estimate, resource comparison or scope-change record.
- 04
Health, Safety and Welfare
Read recognising hazards and following safe systems. A permitted inspection note, risk communication or revised method.
- 05
Sustainable Development
Read considering environmental effects in technical work. A checked quantity comparison, waste record or reuse query.
- 06
Interpersonal Skills and Communication
Read helping a recipient understand and act. A permitted sketch, query and response or communication record.
- 07
Professional Commitment
Read working ethically and keeping competence current. A redacted decision record, CPD reflection or development plan.
Build an evidence map
Index the attribute, task, supporting reference and gap. Begin with a few useful work items and examine them thoroughly. Add examples where those items do not demonstrate the required breadth. Seven general statements about employer procedures will not show what you did.
Keep attendance records and practical evidence distinct. A course explains how you learned a method. A work record shows how you applied and checked it. Both can be useful when their purpose is clear.
Engineering example
Illustrative setting: revising a drainage detail
I produced drawings and worked safely.
I compared revised levels with the design information and found a conflict at an existing connection. I marked it, asked the engineer to confirm the arrangement and updated the detail after the response. I retained the checked revision and query.
The task can support practical application and communication when the separate contributions are explained.
