Mechanical Engineers CDR Report Sample

The Mechanical Engineer Competency Demonstration Report Sample contains all of the required documentation, including Three Career Episodes, Continuing Professional Growth, and a Summary Statement. The following is the content of the Mechanical Engineer CDR Report Sample:

1st Episode Update on a Mechanical Engineer’s Career

Project Name: “Latent Heat Thermal Storage (LHTS) Unit Design”
The author discusses a project he worked on while pursuing his Bachelor of Engineering (B.E) in Mechanical Engineering in the first career episode. This episode of his career is focused on his graduation thesis, which was titled “Development of the Latent Heat Thermal Storage (LHTS) Device.” The author’s duties at the time were as follows:

• Create the LHTS unit’s 3D CAD model.
• Calculate the initial sizing requirements.
• Purchase PCM and raw materials such as copper tubes and aluminium sheets of various thicknesses for the shell.
• Use a data logger to record data from charging and discharging experiments.

2nd Episode Report on a Mechanical Engineer’s Career

Project Name: “HRSG Design for Combined Cycle Power Plants” is a paper that explains how to design HRSGs for a Combined Cycle Power Plant
The author describes the technical skills he used as a Thermal Performance Engineer in the second career episode. His roles and duties in the project “Development of HRSGs for Combined Cycle Power Plant” during this period were as follows:

• HRSGs for combined cycle power plant applications are planned based on customer requirements.
• Determining the part sizes and design requirements for various auxiliary equipment
• Developing design requirements for different pieces of auxiliary equipment
• Creating methods to help in the execution of various thermal design calculations

3rd Episode Update on a Mechanical Engineer’s Career

Project Name: HRSGs is designed for a proposal to be mounted on the backend of a GE PGT-10 gas turbine.
In the third Career Episode, the author shows off his final project work from his time as an Applications Engineer. During this time, his project roles and duties included:

• HRSGs and Specialty Boilers for Power and Process Applications Designing HRSGs and Specialty Boilers for Power and Process Applications
• Soliciting bids from subcontractors for the purchase of major auxiliary equipment
• Creating specific technical recommendations in order to satisfy consumer needs
• Doing comprehensive concept measurement tests when the project is being implemented

Summary Statement for Mechanical Engineers

The author presents all of the competency elements needed for Professional Engineer in his summary statement. As discussed in the Engineers Australia migration skills evaluation booklet, the overview statement contains cross references to the related paragraphs of the episodes. His Summary Statement complies fully with Engineers Australia’s current requirements.

Sample of Ongoing Professional Growth

Professional classes, non-professional courses, and private research are all part of the CPD. The author’s Mechanical Engineering knowledge is clearly explained in the CPD Sample.
