Portfolio Workbook and Template
Classification: Restricted Welcome to ENGG71000 Professional Engineer module
The Professional Engineer (Masters) module is mapped to many of the AHEP competences which are required from an MSc programme. Reflecting on how you are developing and achieving these competences will support your journey towards becoming a professional engineer. We believe that as a university education should foster not only the acquisition of subject knowledge but also the advanced skills, attitudes, values and sense of purpose that will enable Staffordshire University graduates to meet the significant challenges facing professional engineers. This workbook will be invaluable in terms of providing a summary of activities and reflection to support the Professional Engineering module. By attending each week and completing the activities, you can draw on your experiences for your assignment, due for submission by 5

Awareness of a High Level of Professional Conduct and Ethical Conduct in Engineering
Template Part 1 which reflects on your Current Professional Development with regard to Professional Standards and Competences (1500 words). A template is provided for this purpose. The information should draw on appropriate professional engineering references and be supported by an Appendix of appropriate evidence of your development in this area. Such evidence should include an action plan identifying your route towards achieving Professional Engineering registration with the Engineering Council.
Answer the questions below in order to record your current position and plan towards achieving CEng status.

Current Professional Membership (if any)
From your own research, identify the Professional Body which is most relevant for you. Summarise here (100 words) which Professional Body is most relevant and which level of
Classification: Restricted membership you are aiming to achieve. Explain your reasons for this.
Using the UK-SPEC fourth Edition uk-spec-fourth-edition.pdf (imeche.org)
Assess yourself against the competences. For each of the area summarise in around 100 words your development in this area and where this competence was developed.
A Knowledge and Understanding
B Design, Development and Solving Engineering Problems
C Responsibility, Management and Leadership
D Communication and Interpersonal Skills
E Personal and Professional Commitment
From the above, identify which area you most need to develop and how you could progress this over the following months (100 words).
Identify what steps you need to take over the next 3 months in order to progress with your engagement with the Professional body (100 words)
Classification: Restricted Week 3: Action Plan Following on from Activity 1, consider the goals you want to work on and achieve this Academic year. Choose one of these goals to take forward. This activity is to evidence your action planning capabilities and is not included in the word limit for the portfolio.
Goal from Table 1:
Why you have chosen this goal to work on: In the UK SPEC Each goal is related to a number of bullet points which indicate the type of evidence that can be used to demonstrate that goal. Gathering this evidence could be considered as a sub-goal. For the goal that you have chosen, list the sub-goals in the table below. Use the template below to make notes as you go along: when stating the sub-goal in the left-hand column, briefly state where you think you will find the evidence for this. This may be work that you need to do during the year or evidence that you already have that you need to record against the goal. Record the date when you expect to have the evidence and any resource that you need to achieve it.

Week 4: Ethical Conduct in Engineering

AHEP
EL8M
Awareness of a High Level of Professional Conduct and Ethical Conduct in Engineering
Engineers have a requirement to embody honesty and integrity, have respect for life, law, the environment and public good, work with accuracy and rigour and show the principles of leadership and communication. While these principles are a useful basis for ethical decision making within the Engineering industry, often decisions are not like a mathematical equation with obvious right or wrong answers. We often need to balance positives and negatives, as well as various aspects to make decisions in a professional and ethical way.
Ethical decision-making can be practised throughout our professional development by using a variety of case studies to explore a range of scenarios an engineer could face. For this activity consider the case study provided (Facial Recognition for Access and Monitoring) and reflect on the issues raised in the table below:
Discuss briefly the legal issues relating to image capture, remembering that as the images allow for identification of living persons, they are considered as personal data under GDPR and the Data Protection Act (2018). (100 words)
Which groups or individuals are potentially harmed by the technology and which potentially benefit? How should we go about setting priorities when there are competing harms and benefits? (100 words)
Does the technology used treat everyone from your stakeholders’ list equally? Should the needs of society as a whole outweigh the needs of the individual? (50 words)
What are the problems here? You are an employee of MTU and have a responsibility to be a representative for its interests. However, you can see that the university’s actions create significant problems relating to privacy and consent and may be ethically or legally questionable. (50 words)
What are the possible courses of action you can take as an employee? (50
