IEng Application Process

HI all,

I have more than 20years of professional experiences. Presently I am working towards my IEng application.During my IEng application process I have noticed 'Development action plan'. Can any one help what does it mean? Is it same as CPD? What type of development action we required to present.

Regards,

  • Hi Sanjeev,


    Your Development Action Plan (DAP) can be uploaded alongside your application in Career Manager as a supporting document and you should also take a copy to be handed in on the day of your interview (for IEng).


    It does show your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and doesn't need to be from work if you don't have a separate system, as you can use Career Manager to build it.

    The key point is  about identifying and prioritising your development needs and opportunities for what you want to do in the next six to twelve months after you gain professional registration.


    For example, you may wish to move into engineering management, this may require you to gain an MBA, or you may wish to apply for Chartered Manager or Chartered Engineer as a next step. Obviously this will be personal to you based on your own career goals.  It is an opportunity to show how you have demonstrated planning, and recording of your CPD.  Any previous development would be showen in your application form, alongside your Training or Career History, but this gives you a chance to show how you are already planning the next steps in your development.


    I hope that helps.


    Kind Regards,
