CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (CPD)

I have not attended any seminar, training or any short courses related to engineering for the
past years that I was employed in my current organization due to the work load and
responsibility I am handling.

However, I have attended several seminars before I joined my current organization, the
following are the list of attended seminars and training programs:

I am also a member of the following professional organization:

2. Philippine Institute of Safety Engineers – Middle East Chapter
3. Saudi Council of Engineers – Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
4. Philippine Professional Regulation Commission Registered Civil Engineer (PRC No.
100859 – Year 2004)

Aside from the seminars I have attended, I am able to improve and upgrade my technical skills
through my day-to-day experiences as a Civil Engineer and from the guidance of Senior and
experienced engineers and exchanges of ideas with colleagues. I still keep abreast of new
emerging engineering technologies and updated standards through self-study and researches

to aid me in coping with the continuously fast changing technology. I conduct research and
gather information from the internet to aid my analysis and study before commencing project
activity. Moreover, for new engineering products and technology, the vendors/suppliers conduct
product presentations to keep us updated with their new line of product technology and at the
same time, catalogues and product manuals are frequently supplied to us being the
Construction Management team of the project. Our organization is also able to supply us with
updated engineering standards, from British Standards to American Society of Testing and
Materials (ASTM), American Concrete Institute (ACI) and engineering published journals. I am
also reading the largest middle-east construction and contracting magazine “ContructionWeek”
which is published weekly.

More importantly, I put into application and practice all the new engineering principles and
techniques that I have learned and acquired from all the available resources. I may not be able
to engage myself in formal trainings, educations and seminars, for now, to upgrade my skills as
Engineer in paper; however, I still ensure that I am up to date of the new emerging engineering
principles and technologies.
