CPE for ECEs is now required

[alyas]

Its a lot of bullshit, you mean dapat member ka ng IECEP of good standing to maintain or renew your license?  Then you also need to earn cpe points again?  I thought matagal na nilang inabolish yung practice na yun?  Working alone in your own job already constitutes continuous professional education as you constantly have to update yourself with the current trends in technology and that alone has far more weight than any amount of training or seminar you attend.

I have only renewed my license once and never did I renewed again.  The license is totally useless unless you plan to teach or work for the government.  The only good thing I had with having an ece license before was being able to use the license card as a valid government issued id card.

Ibinalik na nila ngayon...
Kung satisfied ka na sa work mo di mo na ito kailangan....
Pero kung gusto mong maging Professional ECE (PECE) at hindi ECE lang then wala kang lusot dito.

VERY IMPORTANT!!!
Please note that there is
now a new law (the
Electronics Engineering
Act of 2004, or R.A. 9292)
which governs the practice
of Electronics Engineering,
which was signed into law
last April 17, 2004.

RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF
RA 9292 IN RELATION TO THE
NATIONAL BUILDING CODE:
_______________________________________________________
The profession which used to
be called “Electronics &
Communications Engineering”
is now called “Electronics
Engineering” (but still called ECE
for short).

Just like the Electrical and
Mechanical Engineers, the
Electronics Engineers now also
have a “Professional” category,
i.e., the Professional Electronics
Engineer or PECE for short.

SCOPE AND NATURE OF
PRACTICE OF ELECTRONICS
ENGINEERING
(As defined in RA 9292), …the scope and nature of
practice of Electronics Engineering embraces and covers
any work or activity relating to the application of
engineering sciences and/or principles to the
investigation, analysis, synthesis, planning, design,
specification, research and development, provision,
procurement, marketing and sales, manufacture and
production, construction and installation,
tests/measurements/control, operation, repair, servicing,
technical support and maintenance of electronics
components, devices, products, apparatus,
instruments, equipment, systems, networks, operations
and processes in the field of electronics, including:

- communications and/or telecommunications,
information and communications technology,
computers and their networking and hardware/
firmware/software development and applications,
broadcast/broadcasting, cable and wireless
television, consumer and industrial electronics,
electro-optics/photonics/opto-electronics,
electromagnetics, avionics, aerospace,
navigational and military applications, medical
electronics, robotics, cybernetics, biometrics,
and all other related and convergent fields.

The nature and scope of practice of
the Professional Electronics Engineer
includes all of those covered by the
Electronics Engineer, plus the sole
authority to provide consulting
services as defined in the Act and
to sign and seal electronics plans,
drawings, permits applications,
specifications, reports and other
technical documents prepared by
himself/herself and/or under
his/her direct supervision.

Thanks!

tnx po sa infos!

[nomad777]

Ako mga 10 years na akong di nag-renew ng ECE dahil sa CPE na yan, mukhang pera lang naman ang habol nila mas magaganda nga iyong mga trainings na nakuha sa PhilCom at Smart tapos hindi nila recognize!!! Iyong ibang training nga sa IECEP hindi updated i.e. cabling, OSP, cable satellite, kung updating ang punto nila dapat mga latest technology ang i-offer nila for example IMS, LTE, SIP, MPLS etc.

[glutnix_neo]

oo nga eh, maxado silang huli sa technology.

Hindi ba credited yung mga technical trainings ng SMART? Baka pwede namang ipa-evaluate/authenticate ang certificate sa IECEP para mabigyan ng CPE points ang mga technical trainings relevant to our field na hindi sponsor ng IECEP kahit 2 points per day lang kesa walang points. Ang hirap dito kasi you need 60 CPE units for three years. Dapat sana binabaan na lang say mga 30 or 40 CPE units kasi magastos din mag attend ng IECEP seminars/trainings at hirap din pumayag ang mga company kung palaging out ka for training.

What's your comment guys?

[danny]

yeah tama ka.
wala naman company na papayag na
palagi kang wala sa office anoh heheh
malaking gastusan talga.

pwede naman yata basta may certificate ka,

ang problema yung mga batak sa trabaho na masasabi nating mas knowledgeable pa kaysa sa mahilig umattend ng seminar at training (dahil sa experience) eh sila pa yung madalang ipinapadala sa seminar kasi maraming ginagawa palagi.

[maldihtah13]

favoritism din ksi ang pagpapadala sa mga seminar. Dito sa amin dami budyet sa seminar problema hinaharang ng mga manager ksi marami daw kmi gawa. Tapos ung nsa maliit na planta un ang sawa sa seminar. Kmi na marami hawak na equipment at system ang kulang sa seminar. Tama ba yun?

As I have seen above, the requirements for Professional Electronics Engineer is not so difficult compared to PEE and PME. So take advantage of this if you are qualified for PECE upgrading. The guidelines might change in the future especially when there are many PECEs already.

Mga bro wag nyong sayangin ang pagkakataon ngayon. Apply for PECE na...

[gtxr2.ren]

PRC Commisioner po yata si hamtikantique.. maraming alam sa batas.. 

[pheng071503]

CPE? e another gastos nanaman yan xe kailangan umatend ka ng mga seminars? negosyo lang ata yan ng nasa taas, e pag nagkalicense ka binabalewala lang ng ibang company ung lisence. nde ako agree dyan sa CPE na yan.. E kayo guys?

[hardcore misery]

ang alam ko dito, pag hindi ka nakapag-comply sa rules nito, tangal ang liscence mo. saklap

I somehow agree with this.  They must somehow honor technical trainings given by your employers specially if these trainings are related to your work as an electronics engineer.  Some of these trainings are even more technically deeper than most trainings that I've attended from IECEP.  I got really frustrated with the last one I attended (IECEP sponsored) since it was more of a product overview rather than technical training.
