Professional Interview Panels

The PIP’S consist of experienced and senior engineers in the particular disciplines. The PIP’S are responsible for conducting professional review of Graduate Engineers who wish to progress to the Registered Engineer Status and of Registered Engineers who wish to progress to Consultant Status. They are also charged with the responsibilities of reviewing the work carried out during training for graduate engineers to ensure that quality experience has been acquired

The functions of the Professional Interview Panels (P.I.Ps.) are to receive and examine, through the Registrar, reports, documents, calculations and drawings prepared in accordance to the Board’s “Notes and Rules for candidates for the Professional Interview” to determine whether the applicant/engineer has experience, maturity of judgment and professional competence as an engineer.
