[ Engineering Leadership ]
Here’s the list of the competencies that Engineers Australia has identified to obtain “chartered” designation. Like them or loathe them, or wonder how in the world to ‘prove’ you have these, regardless, I think these are a good round up of traits any good engineer should have, chartered or not:
Evaluation of outcomes and impacts, creativity and innovation, problem analysis, local engineering knowledge, advanced engineering knowledge, judgement, taking action, performance, communication, meeting legal and regulatory requirements, identifying assessing and managing risks, engaging with relevant community and stakeholders, developing safe and sustainable solutions, responsibility, competent practise, and dealing with ethical issues.
