For Graduates:

No more confusion about which form to use and no handwritten reports - all text is typed for legibility.
Work is done via the web in an environment graduates are already familiar with.
UK-SPEC competencies are selected from drop-down menus and automatically included in quarterly reports and annual assessments.
Easy to use and MPDS provides all reports necessary for the professional review for IEng or CEng through the IMechE.
For Mentors:

Adds to CPD and mentors take an active part in the development and professionalism of future engineers.
Provides a better opportunity to guide and advise the graduate in real time and play a proactive part within the graduate’s individual development process, even if business or site location requires parties to work remotely.
The assessment of the graduate’s performance each year allows the competency evidence portfolio to be assembled as required by UK-SPEC.
For Companies:

Training Managers may have access rights to supervise both graduate and mentor performance and assist relationship management. Free access is provided for the company scheme administrator. Contact us to request this access.
Management of the system is simple and ensures easy supervision of the Company development system without investing large resources.
The use of the UK-SPEC competency framework provides the opportunity for graduates of any discipline to follow similar development within one system and be supervised according to their relevant disciplines. The reports may be submitted to any Institution when applying for professional status.
OTHER BENEFITS - RECORDS MANAGEMENT
Whilst face-to-face meetings are essential as the primary method of communication, e-MPDS has further advantages of supporting engineers in remote locations, providing online access at any time. e-MPDS also allows users to manage remotely across decentralised operations and when mentors are located across a variety of physical sites.
Importantly, paperwork is reduced and monitoring and reporting is accessible for all stakeholders, using a medium that modern graduate engineers are familiar with. An easy to access online records management system helps companies track progress and performance of each engineer registered on MPDS, adding value to employee reviews. The IMechE are providing the lead and look forward to ongoing contribution to the development of professional engineering in the UK and abroad.
