Additional Evidence of Underpinning Knowledge & Understanding

Former Community Member

I have received the following questions to provide the additional evidence of underpinning knowledge & understanding.
1. Describe the situation in which you were allocated responsibility for technical/ engineering decisions

2. Describe how you presented technical information e.g. plans and diagrams for review by other engineers in your field

3. Explain how you carried out a technical investigation, including the gathering of data, identification of sources; and  explain the results of the investigation and how you ensured the quality of data that was used

4. Describe how you derived and presented the results of your investigations: for instance, describe how you used calculations, simulations, prototypes and/or engineering software to guide your technical/ engineering decisions. Explain the limitations of the techniques you used

5. Give a brief reasoned justification for your technical/ engineering decisions

6. Summarise the outcome of the project(s) and indicate how technological changes would affect your methods and/or decisions


Now my confusion is...

a.  I am working as Central Workshop Manager in a construction company, I'm in a dilemma to prepare the evidence as it is not clear to me whether asking about a particular incident related to a equipment in a construction project or the engineering involved during planning, execution, estimation, installation, maintenance and management of total equipment in a construction project. 

b. Question number 3 to 6 is very close to a incident/accident investigation for a particular equipment


If I provide the evidence in (b) way, it will be very specific but a very little scope of engineering. Whether in (a) way I can provide an comprehensive engineering evidence since equipment planning, selection, installation, maintenance and management in a construction project.


Please advise.

  • ? - Totally agree with Alasdair - a PRA is a great resource for your extra evidence - you can find one at: www.theiet.org/advice if you don't already have one assigned or that you are working with.  If you haven't already used a PRA, it's worth sending them a copy of the application as well so they can see what the assessors have already seen, so they can help you expand and provide new evidence, or expand on what is already in the application.  


    There is also some guidance on work based learning, that shows what assessors are looking for in terms of underpinning knowledge and understanding that might help you to focus the answers. https://www.theiet.org/career/professional-registration/getting-help-with-your-application/work-based-learning/
