CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (CPD)is the process of

continuing to learn throughout your professional career in order to

o keep up with advancing technologieso develop skills and knowledge needed to stay effectiveo ensure competence to practiceo achieve your true potential

The Institution of Engineers, Sri Lanka has been providing CPD

programmes for engineers and other professionals interested in their

career and personal development over many years. The programmes are

conducted mostly at weekends, so that the participants can attend the

lectures and other activities without disrupting their normal duties.

There are programmes available in specific subject areas as well as

important common topics such as management, communication skill

development, professional ethics etc.

The resource persons for CPD programmes are carefully selected from the

best available in the country, and the feedback from the participants is

used to continually improve the programmes over the years.

The programmes are conducted under the guidance of the CPD

Committee, which is one of the Standing Committees of the IESL chaired

by the President Elect or a Vice President, and executed by the Education

Division of the IESL secretariat.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR AN ENGINEER TO FOLLOW CPD PROGRAMS?

Engineering knowledge today has a very short Half life Life-long Learning is needed to keep your knowledge and skills up-

to-date

CPD programs provide you an opportunity to update yourself andlearn new things and focus on areas relevant to your current needs

It also gives you an opportunity to meet and interact with engineersand other professionals with a common interest, and form networks

with them, which will help in furthering your professional career.

It helps cultivate the learning-to-learn ability, which is a veryimportant skill in career advancement

CPD is a requirement for obtaining your charter and maintainingyour Professional Engineer (PEng) status. It will also be a

requirement for maintaining your Chartered Engineer (CEng) status

too.

When the engineers keep themselves updated with the currentknowledge and advances in technology, as well as improve theircommunication and other soft skills, it leads to the improvement of

the professional practices and elevation of the image of the

engineer in society.
