Standards of acceptable experience for professional grades

  • The experience must be documented in the field of specialization and under the supervision of a professionally accredited person with a higher professional grade.
  • It must be in one of the main fields of engineering or architecture in which the applicant claims competence.
  • The experience must be of high quality, requiring the candidate to develop technical skills and initiative in applying engineering or architectural principles and solutions, and must be of a nature in which the candidate develops the ability to assume professional responsibility for the work.
  • Professional experience must cover various aspects of the field, including specialized technical skills, problem-solving, and collaboration with multidisciplinary teams.
  • Gaining experience in performing relatively simple tasks with less responsibility shall begin with achieving more complex work that involves higher levels of responsibility. As the level of complexity and responsibility increases, the candidate must demonstrate evidence of increased interest in and pursuit of understanding of issues and applications to broad engineering fields and continued efforts toward further development and professional advancement.
  • Practical experiences acquired by the applicant before obtaining a bachelor’s degree are accepted if they are in the field of engineering/architectural specialization (years of experience are accepted for a maximum of two years, regardless of the number of years of experience before graduation, after evaluation of the experiences by the Professional Accreditation Committee).
  • One year of experience is calculated for those who hold a master’s degree in their field of specialization.
  • Two years of experience are calculated for those who hold a doctorate degree in their field of specialization.
