NSW Registration criteria For Electrical Engineer

 

NSW registration helps an electrical engineer to be well-recognized by employers and business organizations. Without registration, the engineer will not be given the respect and value they deserve.

Furthermore, a non-registered electrical engineer is always devoid of growth opportunities that the registered electrical engineers can take easily. Therefore, you must be registered as a professional electrical engineer by Engineers Australia.

Now, let’s move further to know the NSW registration requirements for an electrical engineer. Here, we will tell you about the minimum knowledge and skills necessary for registration as an electrical engineer and other things like that.

We have provided two lists here that show the minimum skills and knowledge required for registration as an electrical engineer. There are two lists: one is for knowledge criteria and the other one is for skills criteria.

Your application must be able to fulfill all the criteria given in the lists. Let’s take an example for a better understanding: if there are 3 knowledge criteria and 4 skills criteria for the registration as an electrical engineer, your application is required to meet all the 7 criteria.

Whereas, in case of applying for more than one class of registration, your application has to fulfill all the criteria for each class you are applying.

You will be required to attach documentation to your application having your responses to the knowledge and skills criteria. The responses given by you must have:

1.    your understanding of the criteria

2.    how to meet the criteria

3.    the depth and breadth of you’re the skills and knowledge you have by means of examples

Having given you a clear idea of the registration, we are now about to tell you the criteria for skills and knowledge one by one.

As an electrical engineer, you are required to satisfy all the knowledge criteria given below. You must have a clear understanding and knowledge of the following:

1.    The design, planning and construction needs related to this registration class and the techniques utilized for construction.  

2.    The Building Code of Australia (Volumes 1 and 2), which includes documents adopted by reference in the Building Code of Australia, to the extent they are related to this registration class.

3.    Inspection needs related to this registration class.

 

The skills criteria for NSW registration: as an electrical engineer, you must be able to do the following:

1.    You have to determine the extent of proposed and constructed building work for certification.

2.    You need to plan and do inspections of building work related to this registration class to evaluate compliance.

3.    You must take action before the issuance of a compliance certificate.

4.    You must use appropriate engineering principles and related Building Code of Australia, legislative and other needs when evaluating electrical components of building work for compliance.

5.    You have to identify inconsistencies and contradictions between regulatory instruments and engineering principles or the related needs (as related to this registration class) and determine the right solution.

6.    You will need to verify design assumptions in construction.

7.    You have to create testing programs, which include understanding and auditing test results that are related to this registration class.

8.    You have to critically review research data to evaluate its limits and application.

9.    You need to understand, use and evaluate compliance with the Building Code of Australia for the NSW registration.
