Table of contents

ICE values the diversity that individuals with differing backgrounds and abilities bring to the Institution; it respects all members and applicants through fairness, tolerance and consistency of professional standards; ensuring that professional qualification and membership of ICE is open to all who meet its standards.

To supplement this document ICE has placed on its website ice.org.uk a number of Membership Guidance Notes (MGNs) which give more detailed practical advice on a number of issues regarding membership. A list of current MGNs appears in MGN 0.

Extract from Royal Charter

Revision A – no criteria have been modified. Changes relate to procedures. Principal changes are: further explanation on how DOs should be used particularly for those with extensive experience; some additional examples added; clarification of details of those endorsing achievement.

Development Objectives (DOs) are an essential tool for planning and recording your learning and development en route to completing your Initial Professional Development (IPD).

Achievement of all the DOs will not in itself make you a professionally qualified member of the Institution, but should ensure a sound and broad base upon which you can build the technical, professional and managerial competence that is required at the Professional Review.

Employers who wish to include additional specific development objectives of their own should do so by extending the number of example activities rather than produce additional objectives.

Achievement of the DOs (or their agreed equivalent eg suitable N/SVQs) is required if you wish to qualify as a professional engineer, technician or technical/scientific specialist either through formal training or by aself-managed process.

The Development Objectives have been drafted so that they can apply across the ever-widening range of activities that comprise civil engineering. This could include design, implementation and operation in the fields of research, construction, transportation, energy, the environment, and many other specialist disciplines.

If you are a Student you should start working towards achieving your DOs during your academic studies, particularly if you are on a part-time or day-release course. Experience in industry during vacation or work placements or while carrying out unpaid voluntary work can also be valid IPD.

If you are in the early part of your career you should use DOs to plan ahead, ideally in conjunction with a mentor who can guide and support your development. You should confirm each level of achievement as it is reached as part of the plan for your short and long-term future development.

If you have many years of experience and are considering an application for a Career Appraisal, you should use the DOs to record all your experience gained to date. Use this document as a checklist to structure and record how you have achieved the various DOs. The effort you make will also pay dividends when you come to prepare your documents and thoughts for a Professional Review.

The DOs are part of an ICE Approved Training Scheme or part of the submission for a Career Appraisal.

Each Development Objective has a Title, an Achievement Rating, and Examples.

▪ The Title describes an outcome, which you must achieve as part of your Initial Professional Development▪ The Achievement Rating determines the level you must reach to satisfy the Objective▪ The Examples provide an indication of the type of activities in which you could obtain the necessary knowledge or experience in order to satisfy the Objective. These are not intended to be prescriptive and are included only to provide guidance in the interpretation of the Objective

The DOs are, to an extent, task-oriented. In working your way through them, you and your mentor should also bear in mind the Attributes for the various grades of membership, which you will ultimately need to demonstrate at a Professional Review. These are listed in ICE 3001A, 3002A and 3003A. In particular you should note that some Attributes are about how you carry out your duties and the characteristics that you will need to display. With advice from your mentor you should make every effort to acquire these additional characteristics, particularly in the latter part of your IPD.

If you are registered on an ICE Training Agreement you will be assigned a professional engineer as a mentor (known as a Supervising Civil Engineer - SCE). In addition, in some cases you might also be assigned a Delegated Engineer (DE) – often also a professional engineer – who will also support your development, maybe at a more local level.

If you are not registered on an Agreement you should find a mentor who should ideally be a professionally qualified civil engineer. If not, he or she should be a professional in a related construction/engineering discipline or failing that, a responsible experienced practitioner who can provide advice, guidance and support.

Each DO is given an Achievement Rating against the following scale.

You will need to demonstrate that you have achieved the required rating for each Development Objective. On each DO sheet, you should set out when, where and how you have achieved that particular DO.

If you are in the early part of your career and following an Approved Training Scheme or aiming for a Career Appraisal, you will have regular meetings with your mentor. After agreeing your claim of achievement, the current Achievement Rating should be ‘signed off’ and dated.

Regular and progressive assessment and sign-off at A, K, E or B levels provide valuable evidence of ongoing mentor involvement in your development. Progressive “sign-off” of the whole DO should then be recorded on the Personal Record of Achievement on page 22 with your mentor(s) providing their personal details on the same page.

The typical evidence which you might present to your mentor is likely to be a combination of your personal documents (eg personal reports, diaries, Continuing Professional Development record) and documents arising from your work (eg drawings, sketches, calculations, letters, reports, etc).

It is essential that this evidence is underpinned and enriched by regular discussions and question-and-answer sessions with your mentor.

If you have many years of experience, you should still record your achievement(s) but just ‘sign off’ the final Achievement Rating. Endorsement by a mentor, possibly another professional, is helpful to Career Appraisal assessors but it is not essential.

A Appreciation You must appreciate why the DO is important and why it is done.

K Knowledge You must have a basic understanding and knowledge of the DO and how it is achieved.

E Experience You must have achieved the DO, or part of it, working under supervision.

B Ability You must have achieved the DO several times in different situations, having the competence to assist others and to work without supervision.
