Hi, I am curious if anyone has an example of an SPE that is not from T2T. Or if there is a thread where this is posted somewhere. Thank you!

What are these acronyms?

Supervised Professional Experience log and Time2Track, I believe.

Back in my day, when we walked to grad school up hill, both ways, in the snow, we just spent 15 minutes making an excel spreadsheet.

Ah, ok. Thanks. We used all Time2Track in grad school, but our program also had preformatted spreadsheets that conformed to the APPI for people who didn't want to pay for it.

OP: Here's a sample APPI from APPIC's website circa 2018: https://appic.org/Portals/0/downloads/Sample_AAPI_Application_2018.pdf

As the child of a mechanical engineer, I immediately thought of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (or, as one of our family friends called it, "the Society of Pretty Engineers"!).

I wasn't even that forward thinking and didn't know there was a requirement to track hours until I started filling out my internship application. That required lots of back-of-the-envelope math, tallying up reports, and (under-)estimating hours and patients.

Although I think some programs specifically require T2T. I believe it allows the DCT and/or supervisors to directly access and approve the info submitted. It may also be integrated with the APPIC application...?

Yeah, I can see the use or tracking along the way. I think we had yearly reviews where they went over our hours, signed off on them, and used that to plan for the next year if someone was generally on track or not.

Things may have changed in the last few years, but this was not so when we did it. Institutions don't have direct access to your T2T account. The app generates nice looking reports for your supervisors to sign off on that could easily go into a student's file. They also generate a nice looking report that conforms to the APPI, but it's still a matter of copying those numbers directly into the application. It would be a bummer if institutions required it as it's not free and thus yet another expense that graduate student need not necessarily incur.

Ah, that makes sense RE: the reports. Having never used it, I've no idea what it looks like or what functionality it has.
