Council expects that the candidates willdemonstrate their involvement on the variousprojects by reference to data tables,statistics, charts, engineering formula and/orspecifications, diagrams, schematic etc.

Chapter 5Analytical Tools

The Engineering process almost always endup in a decision being taken and suchdecisions can have as basis the engineersassessment of the probability of occurrenceof some events, and the relation betweencertain events and their time of occurrences,and their time of appraisal of investmentsover machinery, payback periods, etc, etc.

It is expected therefore that the candidatesfor registration demonstrate that they arefamiliar with techniques that are utilised inthe decision process, and know at least aparticular technique and its applications.

Candidates should develop awareness of theuse of computers within their own branch of

engineering and in particular the use ofapplication software in their day to day work.

This chapter on Analytical Tools may notnecessarily be a chapter on its own. It canbe an Appendix to the Report and consist ofa collection of formula, techniques, etc whichare better located here than in chapter 3 and4.
