PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER

Summary Statement
You may see that the competency elements are divided into 3 categories –
Knowledge and Skill Base – In this section you can represent your knowledge and abilities that you possess
about your engineering field and thereby provide evidence point from your career episode. You should try to
cover at least two indicators form this section.

Engineering Application Ability – In this section you have to represent your engineering capabilities and how
you have actually applied your knowledge in the engineering field. You should try to cover at least three
indicators form this section.

Professional and Personal Attributes – In this section you not only demonstrate your engineering abilities but
your personal traits such as work ethics and communication abilities.

Now consider the professional engineer summary statement sample. You may see how they have explained the
competency elements and have also indicated the career episode paragraphs in the last column. However, this is
not the complete statement.

So now that you have understood the format of summary statement and gone through some summary statement
examples, we are sure that you feel confident to prepare one on your own. Here are some tips to make
Summary Statement up to the mark -

Summary Statement completely depends upon your Career Episodes. Therefore, make sure that you have
prepared the Career Episodes in the right way. Before starting with the summary statement try to go once again
through your career episodes and see if they are in relevance to the Migration Skill Assessment requirements by
Engineers Australia.

Another important thing about career episodes is that you must mention them in paragraph form and name the
paragraphs, for instance, CE 1, CE 1.1, CE 2, CE 2.1 and so on. In this way, it would become easier for you to
indicate the cross-reference as well as it would be easier for the assessor to match the indicators with your
career episodes.

Analyze your career episodes keenly as many times it happens that the applicants are not able to understand the
relevance of an indicator and they match it with an incorrect paragraph in their career episode. This, on the
whole, makes your summary statement incorrect and hence can lead to rejection. Therefore, pay attention to
every little detail of your career episode and understand the competency indicators well.

It is not a compulsion to keep your summary statement to one-page length. Make sure you provide a summary
that reference to all your career episodes. You do not have to mention a lot of details but make sure you do
provide a good explanation against each competency indicator you choose.

Last, but not the least, consider some summary statement samples for Engineers Australia before writing your
own summary statement to get an overview of how to conduct the analysis and match the competency elements.
