CDR Report for Engineers applying for a PR Visa

What is Competency Demonstration Report (CDR)?

Competency Demonstration Reports is a technical report which is submitted by students to Engineers Australia for their assessment and verification. Engineers who are planning to migrate to Australia for education or career should write CDR and submit it to Engineers Australia for their skill and knowledge assessment.

Engineers Australia is the body of professional and knowledgeable Engineers. They approve CDR Reports only when they are written as per the guidelines provided by EA in the MSA Booklet. Also, your reports should grammatically correct and should not contain any plagiarism to be successfully approved by EA. 

The assessment by CDR Australia is largely focused on the applicant’s undergraduate qualification and graduate abilities. For Australian immigration, CDR EA recognizes four categories, each of which has a unique set of graduate competencies. They are as follows:

Professional Engineers: Professional Engineers are expected to manage engineering projects and programs that benefit society, business, and government as needed. They must be able to comprehend the project’s expenses, dangers, and limits, deal with the project’s many stakeholders, assure the reliable operation of all materials and technology linked to the system, and contribute to the overall endeavour. Professional Engineers are regarded as innovators, harbingers of change and progress, and undertake research work to advance science and technology because of their capacity to manage both technical and non-technical concerns in an integrated manner. In this category, all people who have finished four years of a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering can apply for immigration to Australia.

Engineering Technologist: Engineering technologists are experts in a certain discipline of engineering technology or engineering-related technology. They must be up to date on current and developing technologies in their field and their most recent applications. They are not required to have the same breadth of vision as Professional Engineers, who are skilled in synthesizing diverse approaches to complicated engineering issues and circumstances and can manage duties such as system integration and stakeholder contact. Those with a three-year Bachelor’s degree/diploma in any Engineering Technology field are eligible to apply in this category.

Engineering Associate: Engineering Associates are commonly referred to as ‘paraprofessionals’ in Australia since they are intimately aware of standards and codes of practice, as well as the details of operating plants and equipment safely and cost-effectively. Their responsibilities in engineering companies range from feasibility study to design and development to resource and material sourcing and procurement to operations management and quality assurance. They must have a solid foundation in engineering science and concepts relevant to their area of specialization. Engineering Associates may start their businesses or advance to senior management positions where they employ Professional Engineers, Engineering Technologists, and other experts as needed. Those with a two-year diploma or degree in any engineering subject are eligible to apply in this category.

Engineering Manager: Engineering managers develop engineering goals, policies, and plans, as well as supervise and review engineering activities inside a company. It is a senior executive post. Only applicants with seven years of experience as a Professional Engineer and at least three years of experience at the Engineering Manager level are eligible to apply for this position. It is also required that those reporting to such candidates be at the ‘Professional Engineer’ level.

Who Need CDR Report?

CDR is submitted by the graduate engineers who are willing to migrate to Australia for post-graduation courses or permanent residency purposes to Engineers Australia. 

All engineering colleges will expect their students to be knowledgeable, intellectual and versatile. CDR will give an insight into the mindset, knowledge and understanding capacities of the international students.

Professional colleges which impart post-graduation courses in various engineering fields will be able to understand the skill-sets of the international students. Without CDR it will be tough for the EA to assess the knowledge and skills of the students.

What is Continuing Professional Development?

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is the process that will keep you in trend with the recent happening of engineering news after your undergraduate qualification. It is used for documenting your skills, knowledge and experience gained in your training years.

CPD Report list should include:

• Information on formal postgraduate study
• Conferences you’ve attended You’ve participated in any short courses, workshops, or seminars.
• You’ve created and presented content for seminars, symposia, courses, and other gatherings.
• Any volunteer or mentorship work you’ve done related to your engineering profession
• You’ve gone through books, magazines, manuals, and so on.

What is Career Episodes in CDR?

Career Episodes is what explain your educational qualification and work experience in the field of engineering. All three Career episodes are based on three specific engineering projects done over a certain period of time. Career Episodes gives detailed information on technical and other skills an engineer applied to the project described.

Three Career Episodes in your CDR Report focus on a different element of your engineering career. Each career episode should be 1,000 to 2,500 words long and include any technical challenges you found and solved. This might be an engineering job you completed during your course,

•  a project you worked on
•  a specific position you performed in your firm, 
• or a specific engineering challenge you addressed.

Number each paragraph in your career episode in the following manner:

• Career episode 1 (paragraphs 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc.)
• Career episode 2 (paragraphs 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 etc.)
• Career episode 3 (paragraphs 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 etc.)

Career Episodes are written like an essay in the following format:

• Introduction of about 100 words
•  Background of approximately 200-500 words
• Engineering Activity you intend to explain in 500-1000 words
•  Summary of approximately 50-100 words

All of the competency aspects for your selected vocational category should be highlighted in your career episodes. You include cross-references to the specific paragraph of the Career Episode that highlights a specific aspect in the Summary statement.

What is Summary Statement in CDR?

A summary statement is the most important and difficult part of any CDR. In this section, you need to analyze that you have illustrated all the competency elements for the nominated occupational category as described in the ANZSCO code. In the summary statement, you need to provide the cross-references of the paragraphs that you have written in each career episode. Only one Summary Statement (SS) is required for all three episodes.

What is Plagiarism Check in CDR?

CDRWritersAustralia ensures that the CDR Report will be 100% original, plagiarism-free work. So there will be no chance of being claimed as plagiarized.

What is Proofreading in CDR?

Proofreading is the process of reviewing the final report to ensure consistency and accuracy in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and formatting. We correct all the minor errors in spelling, grammar, syntax, punctuation, formatting and make a CDR easier to understand.
