    COMPETENCY-BASED ASSESSMENT 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PEO INTRO Established on June 14, 1922, 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 unoleing high academic experience and professional practice standards for the engineering profession ndividials licensed by PEO are the only people permitted by law to undertake and assume responsi for engineering Work in Ontario 11.2 COMPETENCY BASED ASSESSMENT GUIDE PURPOSE “This guide is intended to assist PEO licence applicant to navigate tough the competency-based assessment (CBA) system The content details the CBA's 34 engineering competencies and how they should bbe met and presented, You wil find a ist of indicators, which act asa ‘guideline for selecting experience examples that demonstrate the applicant's exposure to the competencies, ‘This document provides a comprehensive overview of the roles and responsbltes ofthe applicants, validators and assessors within the CBA framework Finally, this quide also explains the competency rating system and the rating ure, which measures the level of eampetence 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 to support effective practice and public safety. ‘The CBA is conducted ta determine whether applicants have pragressed to2 professional level of competency in thet field through thelr engineet- ing work expanence. The eystm ie designed to ensure that professianal licensure requirements uphold and protect the public interest while ‘maintaining an equitable, vansparent, consistent and efficient icen- sure process. ‘The CBA system requires applicants to demonstrate the ability to apply their engineering knowledge reliably and safely across lifferent circum: stances to recognize thelr professional imitations and to be prepared when necessary to elther extend and develop thelr expertise orto call for assistance from other sources, 2.1 KEY COMPETENCIES Key competencies are defined as an identified skill et or knowiedge base hich the applicant must have attained to achieve professional censure EO’s competency framework is composed of 24 key competencies.
