Strategic Purpose Statement |
This qualification aligns with The Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand (IPENZ) Competence Standard for Engineering Technicians and IPENZ Associate Membership (AIPENZ).
It is intended for people who have completed an academic civil engineering diploma (see Special Notes below) and who have completed, or are completing, their early years of practice as a civil engineering technician. They may also be applying, or wish to apply, to IPENZ for AIPENZ. Holding this qualification demonstrates to IPENZ that a person has all the knowledge, skills, and professional attributes expected of a civil engineering technician, but does not automatically guarantee associate membership; this is ultimately at the discretion of IPENZ. People who achieve this qualification are able to: demonstrate and apply civil engineering knowledge, sound judgement, and good practice as a civil engineering technician; identify, state, and analyse well-defined civil engineering problems; develop and evaluate solutions for well-defined civil engineering problems; demonstrate responsibility for, and manage, part or all of one or more well-defined civil engineering activities; apply risk management to well-defined civil engineering problems; apply social, cultural, safety, and environmental planning to well-defined civil engineering activities; communicate and interact effectively in the course of well-defined civil engineering activities; and maintain the currency of their own civil engineering knowledge and skills. They are able to work professionally within the civil engineering sector and apply professional body rules and ethics to civil engineering practice. This national diploma may lead on to a higher level non-NQF civil engineering qualification or a specialist level 6 or higher civil engineering qualification or qualifications that InfraTrain New Zealand may develop in the future. Alternatively it may be part of a learning pathway to any of a range of NQF or non-NQF related management and/or infrastructure asset management qualifications. |
