1.1 PEOINTRO
Established on June 14, 192, Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) is
the licensing and regulating body for professional engineering in the
province. PEO operates under the authority ofthe Professional Engineers
‘Act to serve and protect the public interest by setting and upholding
high academic, experience and professional practic standards for the
‘engineering profession. Incividuals licensed by PEO are the only people:
permitted bylaw to undertake and assume esponsibility for engineering
‘work in Ontario,
1.2 COMPETENCY BASED ASSESSMENT GUIDE PURPOSE
‘This guide is intended to assist PEO licence applicant to navigate
through the competency-based assessment (CEA) system, The content
tals the CBN’ 34 engineering competencies and how they should
bbe met and presented. You wil find 2 lst of indicators, which at 35 3
‘uideline for selecting experience examples that demonstrate the
applicant's exposure to the competencies
‘This document provides a comprehensive overview of the roles and
responsibilities ofthe applicants, validators and assessors within the
CBA framework
Finally, this guide also explains the competency rating system and the
rating rubric, which measures the level of competence ofthe applicant
per category, and determines one's level of readiness for licensure,
2.0 COMPETENCY BASED ASSESSMENT (CBA)
‘The CBA is a methodology used to assess applicant readiness for
licensure that examines 34 engineering competencies across seven
‘competency categories in which all professional engineers must be
‘competent 1o support effective practice and public safer.
The CBA is conducted to determine whether applicants have progressed
10. professional level of competency in their field through their engineer
ing work experience. The sytem is designed to ensure that professional
licensure requirements uphold and protect the public interest while
maintaining an equitable, transparent, consistent and efficient licen-
sue process
‘The CBA system requires applicants to demonstrate the ability to apply
ther engineering knowledge reliably and safely across different circum-
stances to recognize ther professional limitations; and to be prepared
when necessary to either extend and develop their expertise orto cal
for assistance from ether source:
2.1 KEY COMPETENCIES
key competencies are defined ar an identified sie or knowledge-base
‘ich the applicant must have attained to achieve profesional censure.
PEO's competency frameworks composed of 34 key competences See
‘Appendoe A for a detailed list ofall competencies
2.2 CANADIAN ENVIRONMENT COMPETENCIES
The Canadian environment competencies are a subset of eight com
petencies within the competency framework that best demonstrate
knowledge and experience of Canadian regulations, codes, standards,
‘quality contro, safety awareness, professional accountability and
‘communication. The intents to align the assessment method of the
CCanaelan environment competency requirement with the online
2 PROFESSIONAL EN
competency assessment system, See Append D for a detaled Ist of
all Canadian environment competencies,
2.3 COMPETENCY CATEGORIES
‘The seven competency categories represent the essential areas in which
professional engineers of al disciplines must demonstrate competence
to ensure effective practice and publi safety. Each competency category
contains alist of the competencies required in that area. Applicants must
meet the required average evel of competence in each competency
category to meet the competency requirements.
2.4 ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
The following is an overview ofthe roles and responsbllties of each
participant inthe CBA system,
2.4.1 APPLICANT
‘Applicants are responsible fr
= Providing work experience detalls through the competency assessment
system, including a work experience summary and specific examples
to address each competency:
+ Providing detailed work examples allows validators and PEO's assessors
tohave a clear understanding ofan applicant's knowledge and expet-
tence in all areas essential to safe and effective engineering practice
+ Providing contact information for validators) to very, rate and provide
feedback on thir asignedl competencies
= Proving a sel-asessed rating for each competency according tothe
competency rating scale
2.4.2 VALIDATORS
‘validators an individual who assesses and rates the applicant's work
‘experience A validator must have direc, first-hand knowledge ofthe
applicants work and must have provided suitable professional superv
sion ofthe applicant throughout the work perid being validated and
have taken technical responsiblity for the apalicant’s work. The validator
may have ttl other than supervisor and may be a manager, mentor,
client or colleague.
For engineering work experience gained in Canad, the validator must
be a professional engineer (P Eng) who was regjstered during the work
period they are validating, For experience gained outside of Canada, its
‘expected that they ll bea senior engineering practitioner.
Iti prefered that any validator who isnot a Png, and ie validating inter-
national experiance, be a senior engineering practitioner and licensed as
an engineerin ther jurisdiction, PEO may request information to support
their engineering qualifications, which may include proof of academic
and engineering credentials, and professional designation during the
assessment process,
‘Acceptability of the validator is at the discretion of PEO. Family members
and relatives are normally not acceptable as validator.
Validators ae responsible for:
= Reviewing and confirming they have witnessed and supervised the
work associated withthe applicant's example(s)
+ Providing competence ratings for each competency they are assigned
torate and review+ Providing an overall feedback summary on the applicant's readiness
for licensure
=Frequired, identifying thelr professional designation and jurisdiction
oflicensure
2.4.3 ASSESSORS
‘Assessors are designated PEO staff who wil assess and determine ifthe
applicant has demonstrated that they have applied these competencies
at an entry-to-practice professional level and wil provide a final recem-
‘mendation towards licensure
Assessors are responsible for:
+ Reviewing the applicant’ submission as well as validators’ feedback
Providing ratings for each competency
+ Mfinal recommendation on an applicant's readiness for licensure
3.0 APPLICATION PROCESS
[Applicants should frst review PEO's CBA Applicant’ Guide before entering
the CBA reporting system. Once in the system, the applicant wil follow
the steps below to fulfil the experience requirement
3.1 PROVIDE EXPERIENCE SUMMARY AND VALIDATORS
All applicants must complete an experience summary through the CBA
reporting system. The experience summary section is a chronological
short-form overview ofan applicant's experience, including a brief
summary of thelr responsibilities in each position.
Applicants may use up to 12 months of experience acquired prior to
the completion of their undergraduate degree towards the minimum
Ce eee
experience in the experience summary, being careful to select the
pregraduation option, The start date ofthis pre-graduation experience
must not exceed two years prior tothe degree conferral date.
NOTE: The experience summary information helps determine if you
have the minimum required 48 months of engineering experience
anor
3.2 PROVIDE COMPETENCY RELATED WORK EXAMPLES.

Please be specific about your individual ations and contributions; and
use ofthe word "i required in order to show what work you did
specifically. Point form is permitted.
‘You do not need to demonstrate allndicators listed, although they
provide a helpful uide as to what assessors are seeking. Indicators
are examples to guide you in determining the type of work that would
satisfy each competency. Each competency example includes the
following information.
+ Situation: A brief overview of a specifi station or problem. The same
situation can be used to cover multiple competencies
“Action taken: The actions that you took n response to the situation,
including engineering judgements made or solutions foun. This sec:
ton is typically the longest portion of the example and should include

tencies have been validated the experience requirement will be deemed
completed towards application
4,0 COMPETENCY RATING SYSTEM
4.1 COMPETENCY RATING SCALE
The competency rating eae s used to determine whether an applicant
has achieved the required level of competence to gain licensure. It
measures the level of overall competence, not the level of success an
applicant achieved ina specific situation
‘When rating the competencies for professional engineering Kcensure,
needs to be clea that they are not only performing wellin the circum
stances they have encountered to date, but they have also demonstrated
the capacity to hancle situations likely to be encountered in the future,
Alleels (05) described th respect each ofthe seven competency categories
‘and Canadian Environment Competences canbe found in Append 8
ene42 LEVELS OF COMPETENCY
‘Applicants and validators independently rate an applicant’ level of competence in each
key competency. Fulfilment ofeach key competency and competency category is
measured through the competency rating scale, which rates the applicant’ skill on @
scale from zero to five
‘Asillustrated inthe schematic below, the applicant must demonstrate a competence level
at enty-to-practic, demonstrating they willing longer requite supervision to complete
their engineering tasks
