If you already have a pending partner visa application, then you probably might not need to do a skill assessment since you're not migrating as a skilled engineer. If you are looking to be a member of EA without having to do any skill or competency assessment, you can only be an Affiliate member. If you want full membership status, you might have to do a Competency Assessment (which is different from a Migration Skills Assessment). If you are looking to work as an engineer in Australia, I do not know if companies will require you to have a Competency Assessment in order to be eligible to do engineering work, especially if your qualification is from the PH. You might have to ask companies you plan to apply for if they hire people with overseas qualifications without having to do any skill assessment.

I have just checked the EA website about the accords. The Washington, Sydney, and Dublin Accord only applies to you if you have completed an engineering qualification from the countries in the list under full signatories (Philippines is only a provisional signatory for the Washington Accord, so I doubt you could apply under that pathway). If you have not completed an accredited engineering degree in Australia, then the CDR pathway will be your way to go.
