Becoming a Supervising Civil Engineer
Mike Rogers, Professional Development Manager for ICE, will be hosting a webinar for members who are interested in becoming a Supervising Civil Engineer.
This webinar for potential (and current) SCEs and DEs will aim at looking to raise awareness of the ICE training scheme and development overseas. The emphasis will be on raising awareness of the options to support membership development.
SCEs can often be in the front line for promoting ICE membership in their companies and explaining ICE initiatives. They perform an essential role both within their companies and on behalf of the wider civil engineering profession.
Simply log in on the day and join the workshop at:

CPR Examinations and Graduate Meetings
The ICE NSW graduate group has been meeting on a monthly basis since September 2011. The group discusses an essay topic at each meeting. We also cover general chartership queries from questions about reports and reviews to support in signing off objectives. Professional reviews are held annually in Sydney with several group members looking to sit their review in March 2013. The most recent CPR examinations in Sydney were on 22 and 23 March
Feel free to contact either of your Young Professionals reps on the NSW committee if you want to be involved – Jon Durnell (Jonathan.Durnell@aurecongroup.com) or Emma Kent (emma.kent@ttw.com.au). Details of future graduate meetings will be sent out via the Transtasman email list so please make sure your details are up to date in the MyICE section of the website. If you are a Chartered Engineer and you’re interested in supporting graduates in the region, please also get in touch as we would love to have your help, be that mock reviews or experienced guidance in essay topic discussions.
