Applicants will need to demonstrate how they meet the Underpinning Knowledge and Understanding (UK&U) Criteria and ensure that all the required criteria are cross-referenced with statements alongside. The word count requirement is approximately 5,000 words.
The Experiential Learning Route Report should demonstrate how you meet the required level of knowledge and understanding in engineering through your career history. You should include details of where you have held building services engineering roles and worked on significant engineering tasks/projects requiring independent thought or deliberation, application of engineering knowledge and responsibility.
Learning does not occur by simply listing experiences, but by researching, identifying new knowledge and then reflecting on experience and drawing from the knowledge of others to increase understanding. This knowledge and understanding should then be applied and challenged through work practice.
Applicants should demonstrate the following in their report:
- A sound grasp of the engineering principles that underpin their day-to-day work.
- The knowledge and understanding to make justified technical decisions in their field of technology or engineering.
- Their own personal technical contribution to a piece of work in which they have had key involvement.
- Technical depth, including the method and reasoning as to why they have followed their approach.
- Progression within the engineering field.
- Highlight technical learning and knowledge gained from work experience.
