Choose Your Category Wisely
STEP 1: Choose your discipline / subdisciplane wisely
The engineering discipline chosen does not mean that the candidate is registered as a professional engineering technician (Mechatronics) as example.
The discipline that the candidate chooses is to ensure that when ECSA requests professionals to do the assessments, they choose people who have similar experiences in the same field as the candidate.
MECHATRONICS
Although the traditional Mechatronics engineering discipline mainly represent mechanical and electrical engineering disciplines, we divided the Mechatonics Engineering discipline into the following engineering sub-categories:
- Factory Automation
- Process Automation
- Mechatronic Devices
COMPUTER ENGINEERING
This is industrial computer engineering as opposed to Information technology (IT).
STEP 2:
Create your profile on the ECSA website:
Here you will also find some documents that describes the process and provides more detail.
STEP 3:
Start with the Self-Assessment.
This gives you guidance as to which projects / problems you should document in your Training and Experience Reports (TER’s).
The examples in the Self-Assessment must show that you do have the necessary experience in that Outcome. This then guides you to the TER’s you need to complete. Do not provide information that does not oertain to the Outcome you are queried on.
Avoid general information – that is for information only. The assessors does not want to know what the team did, they want to know what your contribution was.
