Table 1: Five –year professional plan
| Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | Year 4 | Year 5 |
| 1. Applying sound engineering judgment concerning the code of ethics. | 1. Contributing to the professional development of other engineers. | 1. Getting aware of my practice limitations. | 1. Engaging in better engineering practices such as code of practice and practice guidelines. | 1. Getting conscious of my social, cultural, and environmental impacts of engineering practices and activities. |
| 2. The need to acquire the competencies associated with qualifying as an engineer, including the knowledge, skills, and work experiences related to satisfying the requirements for getting licensed (Engineering Education Australia 11). | 2. The need to improve and update the knowledge and skills of other engineers through voluntary mentoring programs (Engineers Canada 8). | 2. I focus on redefining my abilities towards the accomplishment of tasks and responsibilities (Engineers Canada 8). | 2. Setting and analyzing my short-term and long-term professional goals (Engineers Canada, 10). | 2. Reviewing my scope of practice. Documenting all my previous work activities with a need to maintain a high competency responsibility. |
| 3. Developing the necessary technical and non-technical skills attached to activities such as: Contribute to the fulfillment of my career objectives of maintaining the abilities to perform my current tasks (Engineering Education Australia 11).Contribute to both my formal and informal structure of job-training, reading, and volunteering (Engineering Education Australia 11).Enter into active participation. | 3. Instilling in others the values of serving the public interests, thus encouraging engineers to focus on their potential lifetime employability. | 3. I review my competencies continuously to ensure that year-year qualifications are up to date with the increasing stringent of professional standards and anticipations in public (Hawse 20). | 3. Assessing my current interests and abilities. Considering new-based competencies, skills, and knowledge (Engineers Canada 10).Reviewing my professional work practices and activities.Review of my design codes, the used material standards, and my performance appraisals (Hawse 15). | 3. Self-assessing of competencies, strengths, and learning needs. Record courses are taken.Record books, periodicals, and articles written during engineering practice.Recording recent certifications and performance reviews. |
| 4. Teaching and instructing other engineers on the needs of increasing their agile adaptability in an ever-changing workplace environment. | 4. The ability to assess my development needs that perfectly match with the yearly review of the engineer’s professional standards as well as the code of ethics. | 4. My analysis of the future sets of new skills and knowledge that I need to experience in the next 2-5 years. | 4. Making critical decisions concerning the techniques and CPD opportunities and the planned goals that I have so far achieved in the last 4 years (Hawse 18). | |
| 5. Involve peer discussions, practices on outline projects and activities, and initiating strategic planning meetings coupled with brainstorming meetings (Engineering Education Australia 20). | 5. The measures of considering how I can apply better learning practices across the accomplishment of my engineering activities (Engineering Education Australia 17). | 5. Re-checking on the information and professional competencies, I have learned (Hawse 15). | 5. The need to follow-up on activities that have positively impacted my professional work (Hawse 18). |
