CCPE's National Guidelines

Are you an engineering student who wants to understand what it means to be a professional engineer, a graduate from an engineering degree who still does not know what it means or someone curious what it means to be a professional engineer in Canada?

On CCPE’s (Canadian Council of Professional Engineers) website there is a section called National Guidelines that have bilingual (English and French) PDF documents for the following:

• Guideline on Admission to the Practice of Engineering in Canada (interpretive guide)
• Code of Ethics
• Definition of the Practice of Professional Engineering
• Professional Engineering Practice in Canada
• Professional Practice Examination
• Continued Competency Assurance of Professional Engineers
• Guideline on the Environment and Sustainability

In the third document on the list, the “Definition of the Practice of Professional; Engineering”, you will find the definition of professional engineering as following:

The “practice of professional engineering” means any act of planning, designing, composing, evaluating, advising, reporting, directing or supervising, or managing any of the foregoing: that requires the application of engineering principles, and that concerns the safeguarding of life, health, property, economic interests, the public welfare or the environment.

If your serious about becoming a professional engineer I recommend you take the time to read the above.
