CEng Application - Additional details/evidence are required

After it took 3 months for my application review process, I got the following reply from IET:

I am writing with regards to your CEng application that you have submitted, the Pre-Assessment Panel requested to see some further evidence from you. 

They have requested that you provide some further project examples for competences A and B. Please could you focus on one or two technical projects and cover the STAR technique (Situation, Task, Action, Result), providing greater detail in these areas, please could you go into Career Manager and complete the evidence (UK-SPEC doc attached for examples). 

Please complete a self assessment for the following sections of the UK-Spec framework:

A. Knowledge and Understanding
B. Design, development and solving engineering problems"
Please advise how to proceed. 
Shall I elaborate my previously listed projects/tasks more? Or add a new project/tasks to show the A and B competencies.

  • Shall I elaborate my previously listed projects/tasks more? Or add a new project/tasks to show the A and B competencies.

    As they have said "further project examples" I would suggest adding new projects if you can. If you can't (sometimes applicants have only worked on one or two projects in recent years) then do make sure you give new information on existing projects, not just expanding the examples you have given. Make sure you read UKSPEC carefully to make sure that you really are covering the A and B competences in your additional information - and as Andrew advises, contact a PRA if in any doubt at all.

    And remember that this is a good part of the process, it is giving you a chance to clearly see how to improve your application, in this case you know that it is competences A and B that you need to strengthen.
