Engineering Competency Claims (ECCs):

Engineering Competency Claims (ECC) needs the candidate to refer to their core competencies with the work experience. Their involvement in the technological field of engineering is reflected using the Engineering Competency Claims.  The total number of Competencies that claim to be submitted is dependent on the type of pathway the candidate has chosen.
