Charchita Misra BEng (Hons) MSc MBA CEng MIET What contributed to your decision to become professionally registered? "Professional registration gives you credibility as your capabilities are peer assessed and not specific to one industry or company. This drove me towards getting professionally registered. Additionally, the graduate programme I was on was well structured and enabled me to achieve the criteria required as I progressed my career." In what ways has registration benefitted your career? "Registration has directly supported my career as it is becoming one of the key requirements for engineering leadership positions. It has also enabled me to reach out to a wider network and attend events relevant to my interests and activities." How does your employer benefit from your professional registration? "Registration provides my employer with the assurance of my competency. This is necessary for me to take responsibility for the high-hazard systems that have business and health and safety impact." https://buff.ly/3ajZLdF Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) #CEng #CharteredEngineer

Shoal Group Pty Ltd today celebrated the agreement with Engineers Australia for access to its Engineering Workforce Credentialling (EWC) Program. The agreement with Engineers Australia signals Shoal’s #commitment to maintaining engineering and professional #standards. This is important in the development of Shoal’s engineers, providing them a path and support to attain Chartered Professional Engineer (#CPEng) status. It also provides access to an extensive library of resources and papers, opportunities to join technical colleges, societies, and interest groups, and the ability to attend networking and training events. These credentials are also critical as States and Territories introduce #registration requirements for the provision of professional engineering services. Shoal has recently supported over 30 engineers to attain Chartered Status. In addition to the EWC, Shoal participates in the #EngineersAustralia Graduate and Emerging Leaders programs. As part of the EWC Senior Engineering Managers in Shoal who are already CPEng can receive support in attaining Engineering Executive (#EngExec). At the signing were Matthew Wylie (Shoal, Head of Engineering), Shaun Wilson (Shoal, CEO), Jan Irvine (Engineers Australia, General Manager South Australia), Dr Derek Rogers (Shoal, Chief Engineer), and Jason Thornhill (Engineers Australia, Senior Client Manager SA & NT). #digitalengineering #systemsengineering #modellingandsimulation #complexsystems

Marco Sasso BSc MSc CEng MRINA What contributed to your decision to become professionally registered? "To be a Chartered Engineer (CEng) is a prestigious achievement, it seemed like the perfect next step in my personal growth." In what ways has registration benefitted your career? "Being part of a professional engineering institution has allowed me to enter a circle of like-minded individuals. This has a direct benefit to my career as I am able to learn and share best practice with my peers, but also benefit from the connections and opportunities that more experienced members bring to the table." How does your employer benefit from your professional registration? "My employer benefits from my registration as I can bring fresh ideas and knowledge obtained from other registered colleagues, through the connections I have made." Is there any advice you would pass on to someone considering professional registration? "I would say to not hesitate and start the application process. Prepare yourself for the interview, but remain true to yourself and be confident in the knowledge you have acquired during your professional path."

Mamta Singhal MBE BEng (Hons) MSc MBA CEng MIET FWES What contributed to your decision to become professionally registered? "I should have applied for my professional registration years ago but I kept putting it off. When I started looking for a new job about 16 months ago, I knew I wanted to work with strong technical minds, so becoming a CEng was the best route. I wanted to make sure I stood out as much as possible when I applied for roles. I now work in an environment where my CEng is valued. By gaining professional registration I had my 15 years in engineering and manufacturing work acknowledged by some of the top engineers in the field and equally I can sit shoulder to shoulder with those on the Global Engineering Councils/Boards." In what ways has registration benefitted your career? "Through professional registration I gained confidence and clarity about my career and personal drivers. I realised how I wanted to use my engineering skills to do good – for the environment, for development of people, for breaking down norms. I gained a roadmap both personally and professionally, as well as a network that is priceless." How does your employer benefit from your professional registration? "My employer has someone that is driven by engineering standards, ethics and integrity." https://buff.ly/2W2SX0q Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) #CEng #CharteredEngineer

Beyond excited to write this post. The man pictured below is a lot more than a Structural Engineer, but a true leader. To many, he goes by Dr. Mahmoud Issa. To me, he goes by Dad or "Pops". He has always been my hero, and always motivated me to be the best form of myself. I can't put into words how much I appreciate him, and how much love he has provided me throughout my years. Seeing that he was nominated for Mentor of the Year was one of my proudest moments, ever. One LinkedIn post doesn't serve him justice, as I could spend hours writing about his qualities. But here are a few points that he always made, that really speak volume of who he is: 1) He is in the office at 6 AM, and I always asked him, why not come a little later? His Response: "Because I respect the rest of the HBM team, and because many of the young Engineers look to me for guidance. I would not be a leader if I wasn't available for them." 2) "Work is a Blessing" He always instilled in me that work is a blessing. Coming from Lebanon in the 70s, him and my uncles didn't have much, but capitalized on every chance they had. In just 3 years, he was able to achieve his BS and MS degree. Although their journey wasn't the easiest, they felt that they were luckier than most, and considered anything in life a blessing. In a time where it seems like everybody wants to get away from the work force and go on vacation, this is a very valuable message to push. 3) "When you do something, you do it right, and with good intention." He is a perfectionist at heart, but not for his personal gain. He always discussed that one of the most important aspects of life is respecting your tasks and giving your honest effort on whatever you do, to positively impact your community. 4) "Family is the most important aspect of Life" Everything he has done, has been for the family. No matter how much he sacrificed growing up, he constantly emphasized that what he cares about is making sure he takes care of his family. Until now, all of us 5 siblings, young or old, look to him for guidance and advice. 5) "If you have the opportunity to do so, give back in any way" Being a first-generation immigrant, he didn't have the luxury of giving back to the community as much as he wanted to, but did more than enough by instilling the importance of community into us. His simple acts of kindness went a long way. An example of this is his love for his garden. Covering a few thousand square feet around my childhood home, we grew up working on the garden every summer, which kept expanding year by year. At some point, I asked him, "This is more food than we can even eat in the summertime, why do we have to keep expanding?" His response: "The more that we grow, the more we can provide to others." Now anytime he goes to visit friends or family, he brings them bags full of veggies and fruits, with a wide smile on his face. To my manager, mentor, father, hero, and best friend in the world, Congratulations!!!
