Additional Evidence of Underpinning Knowledge & Understanding

Former Community Member
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.

    T K,

    You say you have not had any response but you haven't said how long you have waited. The PRAs are all volunteers so should not be expected to respond instantly, but will normally respond within a week or so. I should also point out that the website tells you to only contact one PRA though I am sure you will not be penalised for contacting two.

    On the IET website (https://www.theiet.org/career/professional-registration/getting-help-with-your-application/find-a-professional-registration-advisor/) it states "We ask that you only contact ONE PRA. All our PRAs are volunteers if you have not had a response from the PRA within two weeks contact the registration and standards support unit (RSSU) for help". I would therefore suggest that if two weeks are up and you still haven't heard anything you should contact the RSSU as indicated and they will ensure you get a PRA who will respond. The RSSU staff, being IET employees, will take action straight away. Do not keep trying further PRAs as this only causes confusion later on. The email for the RSSU (from the IET website) is rssu@theiet.org (or call on +44 (0)1438 765615).

    I note from your profile that you are based in Qatar so you should deal with an International PRA (IPRA).
