Cii. Demonstrating leadership in a professional role
| noticed there was a lack of knowledge sharing between younger engineers in my company and some people
‘were missing out on help to become Chartered
Example 1
_My idea was to set up a "Developing Engineers Forum" to tackle these problems. | got several ike minded people
together and we set three aims for the group. To promote focus on professional and career development, increase
members’ networks of contacts and promote engineering acrass the company and further afield.
‘The forum has been abig success with our own SharePoint site to share announcements and discussions. lead a
‘working group who hold regular events which include Developing Engineer presentations on projects and
‘experiences, site visits and social events.
‘The most challenging event was a Chartership workshop. | sought approval and funding to hold the event and
arranged for representatives from 6 engineering institutions ~ICE, IChemE, IET, IMechE, CIWEM and IWWO and a
representative from the Engineering Council to attend. Attendees could find out which institution was right for
them and lear more about the benefits of being a member, professional qualifications, CPD and becoming a
mentor. It was a big success with over 80 people attending,
| have given technical advice to more junior members of my team and have supervised the work of a graduate
‘engineer on the project described in question Ail
have undertaken arange of activities with school children including careers fairs and mock interviews and | am
registered as a Science and Engineering Ambassador with STEMNET which provides opportunities to encourage
young people to choose careersin science, technology, engineering and maths. | acted asa mentor for a team of
‘school children over a 10 week design project giving them technical advice and encouragement.
‘Asa process engineer with an EPC contractor, | supervised the development work undertaken by a vacation
student on bespoke software for casting subsea field developments. The project which lasted for three months
‘was financed by a major oll company. Specifically, | provided technical guidance tothe student on engineering
and process functionality and appcaved all changes tothe software before publication
Example 2
During my PhD, l regularly led weekly undergraduate problem-solving lectures and laboratory sessions (for
‘modules including, but not limited to, uid mechanics, process engineering fundamentals and appliedscience
modules). Iwas responsible for a clas of up to 30 students. As part of my responsiblties, | formulated chemical
‘engineering class problems, developed mark schemes and assessed student coursework.ICherE 22
