The automobile has not merely taken over the street, it has dissolved the living tissue of the city. Its appetite for space is absolutely insatiable; moving and parked, it devours urban land, leaving the buildings as mere islands of habitable space in a sea of dangerous and ugly traffic.

Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng)

Chartered Professional Engineer is the most important quality mark attesting to the current competence of a professional engineer in New Zealand. It is a statutory title under the Chartered Professional Engineers Act of New Zealand 2002, (CPEng Act) which established a register of professional engineers whose competence is up-to-date. Registration is gained by demonstrating competence, which is reassessed for currency at intervals not exceeding five years. Some regulatory authorities specify that certain kinds of work must be carried out or supervised by Chartered Professional Engineers.

International Professional Engineer (IntPE)

The IntPE(NZ) register meets the requirements of two international agreements - the APEC Engineer agreement (13 APEC Economies) and Engineers Mobility Forum agreement (13 countries), and lists professional engineers meeting the IntPE(NZ) competence standard and additional specific qualification and work experience requirements. These are that registrants must hold a Washington Accord accredited qualification; have two years responsible engineering experience and seven years post-graduation professional engineering experience. IntPE(NZ) registrants must undertake on-going assessments at intervals not exceeding 5 years to remain on the register, hence IntPE(NZ) registrants are regarded as being ‘currently competent’.
