SYNOPSIS

The Registration of Engineers Act 1967 (REA) is an Act of Parliament enacted to provide for the registration of Engineers and Consultant firms providing professional engineering services. Under the REA, only registered Persons and registered Engineering Consultancy Practices (ECPs) are entitled to provide professional engineering services or to assist the Professional Engineer in the supervision of engineering works.

The talk will look at the provisions of the REA, including the different categories of registration, the entitlements for each category of registration, the enabling requirements for registration as a registered person or a registered ECP. The talk will trace the pathway for an engineering or an engineering technologist graduate to become a Professional Engineer with Practising Certificate (PEPC) and if he/she so desires, establish his/her own ECP.
