What do you need to know thats not on the website?

I used to be a graduate member before everyone tell me its useless unless what you're doing requires it. But I'm looking at rejoining next yr to start the bloody CPEng application.

coz im applying and preparing may application.. just want to ask if all my papers are correct and im on the right track.. is there any

interview?

What application? If its CPEng, I think there is. You will have to give a presentation as well according to the guide that gave us. Maybe check with someone who did theirs at your workplace. But if its just a normal membership, there's none. Just submit your degree and those documents they ask for and it should be enough.

Its soon going to be worth doing your CPEng. The government are trying to pass laws where only CPEng Engineers can sign off on engineering documents etc. Basically you will be required to have it to work as an engineer soon. Queensland have already passed those laws and WA is looking to follow.

I believe in QLD whats changed is you will require CPEng to apply for RPEQ. So technically you still cant sign off drawings with CPEng, you will still need RPEQ.

RPEQ from what I understand is experience based unlike CPEng which you can just get within 3yrs after graduation with proper guidance/documentation (or thats what a lot of "graduate program" offer). I just find it stupid to pay like 600bucks a year for the freaking membership (CPEng) if you have no use for it. Most companies which require you to have CPEng will pay for it, if thats the case maybe you should considering applying for it.

Like any profession, having such accreditation will definately help in a way. Look at accountants, once they get their CPA, their wage goes up by a fair bit. I'm not saying its a guarantee increment but having accreditation will only do you good IF you need them. Same thing with higher qualifications, a fresh master grad will get the same pay as a fresh degree grad, its all experience depend (for most people anyway, not talking about the deans etc).

so is it worth the $400 when i grad mid next year? my lecturer keeps telling me to "HOLD ONTO YOUR MEMBERSHIP" blah blah. to be honest i think IEEE is better for its international recognition.

advice for a poor uni student here.

I'm an IEEE member and I don't know why really. I guess the magazines are nice to read on the loo, and it maybe looks impressive on the CV. That said, it is a useful tool for some EE areas, just not mine.

Get rid of it once you get a job. It'll only make your CV look good and thats about it. Unless your graduate program is structured for you to attain the CPEng, otherwise, I would suggest not having it once you've got a job and you dont need it. The membership fee just keeps going up every yr starting from 1st yr grad 70ish, 2nd yr 100ish 3rd... (from memory)

Never bothered wit CPEng, can't see the point in yet another bit of paper telling you that you can be an engineer, from a bunch of old dudes who don't do any real engineering anymore :)

haha true if anyone should be telling you if you can be an engineer its those of us who make your shite work :P

Yeah, we need spanner monkeys and spark monkeys to make it all work, we just get paid to come up with ideas that can never work in practice :P

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
