You may base your career episode upon:
• An engineering task undertaken as part of your educational program;
• A project you have worked on or are currently working on;
• A specific position that you occupied or currently occupy (in this case, the career episode must comprise more than a mere duty statement);

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is the means by which you keep up-to-date with developments in your field of engineering after you have gained your undergraduate qualification.
All relevant CPD must be included in your CDR application. This CPD must be provided in list format (title, date, duration, and venue)
