@bigdreamer bro welcome to the forum! yung EA Skills Assessment is not dependent solely on your years of experience.
It is a factor of your Education and if you could demonstrate that the engineering activities you have undertaken or doing satisfies the competency elements of the Occupational Category you want to be assessed against to (i.e. Professional Engineer, Engineering Technologist...)
And to demonstrate these elements, you need to write 3 Career Episodes or your CDR.
Based sa MSA Booklet: http://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/sites/default/files/shado/About%20Us/Migration%20Skills%20Assessment/migration_skills_assessment_booklet.pdf
<blockquote>3.7 Writing your three career episodes. You are required to present an account of your engineering activities on each of three separate career episodes.
A career episode is a <b><u>documented component of your engineering education and/or work experience</u></b> which captures a particular period or distinct aspect of your engineering activity. It needs to clearly demonstrate the application of engineering knowledge and skills in the nominated occupation, not the acquisition of knowledge. It may use material from:
• an engineering task undertaken as part of your educational program;
• a project you have worked on or are currently working on;
• a specific position that you occupied or currently occupy (in this case, the career episode must comprise more than a mere duty statement);
• a particular engineering problem that you were required to solve.</blockquote>
Therefore, hindi factor kung ilang years ang work experience mo, kahit sandali lang duration as long as you are able to demonstrate ALL competency elements... you can even demonstrate it through narratives of engineering work you did while studying, or maybe industry intership...
I suggest basahin mo mabuti yung MSA booklet, lahat ng info na kailangan andun na.. Goodluck bro!
