What is Competency Demonstration Report(CDR)?

• CDR it stands for Competency Demonstration
  Report. The Institute of Engineers Australia is
  the one in charge of CDRs. It is only
  required if you are an immigrant from a nation,
  or not a member of the Sydney Accord, the
  Washington Accord or the Dublin Accord.
• CDR is not applicable to native Australian. If
  you wish to immigrate to Australia as an
  engineer, you will have to make sure that your
  report must fulfill all the requirements or
  compliances in the Migration Skills Assessment
  booklet published by the by the EA or Engineers
  Australia.

Continuous Professional Development.

• Its a list of everything youve done to keep up
  with the changes in your field after completing
  your engineering graduation-
• The list may include the following
• Your postgraduate study details
• Books, journals or manuals you studied to gain
  more knowledge about the field
• Conferences you attended
• Volunteering or mentoring work you did related to
  your engineering profession
• Materials you prepared and presented in various
  courses, conferences, and seminars
• Short-term courses, workshops, seminars,
  technical meetings, and discussions you attended.

Three carrier episodes

• Three career episodes are 1,000 to 2,500-word
  essays which show your growth as an engineer.
  When writing a Career Episode always begin by
  talking about the project and company or
  organization youve worked for.
• In each career episode, you have to address four
  sections
• The Introduction section which should be about
  100 words. It should cover the projects dates
  and the duration, location where it happened,
  organizations name, and your position there.
• The Background section consumes 200-500. Its
  where you describe the context of what you were
  working on at that time.
• Personal Engineering Activity is where you have
  to give a narration of the actual work you did in
  500 to 1000 words. Make sure you address all the
  challenges you faced and what you did to overcome
  them.
• In the end, write a Summary for your Career
  Episode that highlights all the
  engineering-related competencies you demonstrated
  in that particular narrative.Also, dont forget
  to number your paragraphs, particularly the
  Career Episodes, according to the Engineers
  Australia guidelines.
• Take note of all the calculations, both
  engineering and technical, that you performed for
  the project. Keep track of their results and the
  process you did to reach them.
• Mention all your achievements at the end of the
  career episode section. These could include the
  project outputs or the goals or targets you met.

Summary statement

• Summary statement is the summary of your 3 career
  episodes. In this section, you need to ensure
  that you have addressed all the Engineers
  Australia competency issues for the chosen ANZSCO
  code. You need to provide the cross references of
  the paragraphs that you have written in each
  career episode.
• In addition, do not start any additional argument
  in the summary statement. The purpose of the
  summary is to summarize your CDR and you should
  not divert away from that goal.
• The three types of indicators that you must aim
  to show in a summary statement are
• Your engineering knowledge and skills
• Application of your engineering capabilities
• Your professional and personal characteristics.
