WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR AN ENGINEER TO FOLLOW CPD PROGRAMS?
Engineering knowledge today has a very short Half life Life-long Learning is needed to keep your knowledge and skills up-
to-date
CPD programs provide you an opportunity to update yourself andlearn new things and focus on areas relevant to your current needs
It also gives you an opportunity to meet and interact with engineersand other professionals with a common interest, and form networks
with them, which will help in furthering your professional career.
It helps cultivate the learning-to-learn ability, which is a veryimportant skill in career advancement
CPD is a requirement for obtaining your charter and maintainingyour Professional Engineer (PEng) status. It will also be a
requirement for maintaining your Chartered Engineer (CEng) status
too.
When the engineers keep themselves updated with the currentknowledge and advances in technology, as well as improve theircommunication and other soft skills, it leads to the improvement of
the professional practices and elevation of the image of the
engineer in society.
