Instructions for the Candidates
Demonstrating competence
To become a professional engineer of Bangladesh, you must have had responsible and relevant
experience at a level such that you can demonstrate the level of competencies as required by
BPERB. You must demonstrate a sound understanding of core engineering principles in the
respective field. In addition, your level of attainment of competences will be assessed with
regard to their relative importance within your fields of work.
In order to fulfil your obligation to society as a professional civil engineer and to meet the
requirements in relation to health, safety, and welfare legislation, you must have a sound
knowledge and understanding of the practical engineering applications and processes, as well
as the activities connected to it.
Writing your statements
You’re responsible for explaining how your knowledge, skills, and experience meet the
required standard within each of the relevant competences. You must give multiple examples
(typically 3-5 evidence) of your experience to demonstrate your ability within each sub-
competence – i.e., that you have achieved in different situations, assisting others and working
without supervision. Competence is defined as the ability to do something consistently,
successfully, and efficiently. You need to show the assessors that you’ve met the competence
standard expected at the level of a professional engineer. Each sub-competence should be
demonstrated within 600 words, and the professional competence and commitment report
should be within 3000-5000 words. In your writing, you should demonstrate the situation you
experienced, the task you assigned, the action you took, the technique you used, and finally,
the benefit or result obtained. As a part of the evidence, you may add a maximum of ten extra
A4 pages in the annexures (excluded from the word limit) and five A3 pages as
drawings/posters at the end of the report. The report must be a single PDF file and submitted
by uploading it to the portal.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism should be avoided in any reports, drawings, and presentations that you submit.
Instructions are:
Don’t cut and paste material from others' reports and online
Where you have directly quoted others or the work of others, use quotation marks.
Plagiarism is taken seriously by the BPERB. Should there be concerns about your submission,
BPERB will investigate, including using plagiarism detection software. If this shows
significant levels of similarity with any sources, your assessors will be informed, and you will
be contacted by the BPERB and asked to provide an explanation.
Collusion
In the context of your submission, collusion is any agreement to conceal someone else’s
contribution to your piece of work. The guidance above equally applies to avoiding collusion.
Plagiarism and collusion may lead to a ban on applying for professional engineer or
permanent expulsion from IEB Membership. If an allegation of plagiarism or collusion is
