Maximum of 75 weighted hours in 3 years
CPD CONFERENCES & MEETINGS

inspections and meetings run by APOs & PTC to provide
information.
Those run by other acknowledge experts could also be
claimed provided that the content relates to the
development of ones professional career.
The hours claimed should be for the formal technical
presentations and inspections that one attended at such
conferences, symposia, inspections and meetings.
 CPD PRESENTATION &
PUBLICATION OF PAPERS
The preparation and presentation of material for courses, conferences,
seminars and symposia can be claimed if these activities contribute to the
engineering related competencies of engineers and associated
professionals. A time weighting factor of 10 should be applied to the actual
duration of the presentation if the paper is not published.

Material published in journals and conference papers can be claimed as

follows:

1. 40 hours per paper for technical papers or research reports for

conferences; or
2. 50 hours per paper for papers is referred prior to publication
 CPD SERVICE ACTIVITIES

development of others.
Within PTC, this includes contributions as a Member
Reviewer, member of a course accreditation team,
participation in CPD audits, review of technical papers prior to
publication and technical aspects of work undertaken in or for the
Boards and Committees of the APOs and/or PTC, including
national committees and technical societies.
CPD allowable under this heading is limited to 20% of ones total in
any three years.
CPD INDUSTRY INVOLVEMENT
Engineers employed in academic positions are expected to foster links
with industry to the benefit of engineering education, research and
practice in Philippines. This requirement also ensures that they are
exposed to developments in engineering practice outside their academic
institutions.
Industry involvement will normally be in the form of consulting services.
However, where one has close ties with industry, one can include
supervision of industry-sponsored research.

Supervision of design projects carried out for industry and fieldtrips may
also be counted if they have contributed to the above objectives.

Professional Engineers in academic positions must be able to show they

have at least 40 hours of industry involvement every three years.
