Hello All,
I am applying for the Apega P.Eng application with a total of 6 years of technical experience in electrical/electronics. I need help with the competencies CBAT form to fill up. if anyone can share some examples for competencies, would be a great help to understand better and can fille the form with confidence.

Hi All,
I just started my application for MIT or EIT in APEGA. I am in the process of filling in the information in the APEGA application portal. I just have a few questions regarding this.
1. Education : Can I declare my 1-year post-secondary certificate completed in Canada in my education section aside from the Bachelor's Degree that I have completed in my home country?
2. Comments : What do we put in here? I do not have any comments for my application though so I just wrote "None".
Here is my background:
BS Mechanical Engineering completed last October 2011
I have 6+ years of experience as a project engineer (MEP) in the construction industry ( 2012 to 2017)
Work gap (2018 til present) because I came here in Canada on a Student Visa and currently on my PGWP
I'm not sure if I will be required to take the FE Exam depending on their evaluation, but I plan to start studying ahead since most of the applicants were required. I read from this forum that some are taking FE Other Discipline. I don't know what the reason is but I am just curious about it and made me confuse. Should I take FE Other Discipline even though I am a graduate of Mechanical Engineering or I should stick to FE Mechanical. Can someone enlighten me about this?
Thank you in advance.

Hello, I’m not sure if you ever manage to send in your cbat, but I can certainly help to review your cbat if you’d like that.
I won’t be comfortable sharing my own competencies and I don’t have any other examples.
Just to let you know, I am an electrical engineer and received my P.Eng last year.
1. Yes you need to mention all your educational certifications and degrees obtained within and outside Canada.
2. I cannot tell you why others are taking FE other discipline but would advise you to do it in a field that you’ve experience in and the field of engineering that you’d want to practice in Canada. I’ve seen a friend take FE other discipline because their practice or degree doesn’t entirely fall within mechanical engineering.
Your Master’s degree is usually not considered to waive FE requirements. FE exam is usually taken by students graduating with an engineering bachelor’s degree and are looking to build a career in engineering. FE is a graduate level examination which is supposed to test your Engineering fundamentals taught through out a Bachelors degree program.
I believe this requirement can be waived either by doing technical coursework or if you have a Bachelor’s from a Washington Accord university or probably a MS degree from a Canadian University.
I had a MS degree from US and had already done my FE before applying for EIT but APEGA did ask me to provide the FE certificate at that time for verification.
All the best!

Hi all,
My application was under review by experience examiners. After the review by 2 examiners was complete, a third experience examiner was assigned. Is this common?

Hi,
It is pretty normal for the application to be reviewed by up to 3 examiners as per APEGA.
Good luck!
Hi JackMa, Would you please be able to share some of your experience with APEGA? My background is also in circulating cooling water systems design for Power Plants and currently I'm filling up CBAT and have some questions. Thanks in advance
Hi folks,
I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Civil engineering 20 years ago. I have recently received the Apega board decision advising me that my competencies have not met the required score for the following key competencies
1.1-1.10, 2.1-2.3, 5.1.
They have given me an option to fix them. I would appreciate it if someone could kindly provide me with instructions or a template for these key competencies that I demonstrate my competencies based on them.
