What does the Canadian Engineering Qualifications Board do?

The Canadian Engineering Qualifications Board develops national guidelines, Engineers Canada papers, and examination syllabi that serve the needs of regulators, engineering licence holders, and applicants for licensure by enabling the assessment of engineering qualifications, fostering excellence in engineering practice and regulation, and facilitating mobility. See the National Engineering Guidelines and Engineers Canada papers.

Who does the Canadian Engineering Qualifications Board report to?

The Canadian Engineering Qualifications Board is a committee of the Engineers Canada Board.

Several sub-committees assist the Canadian Engineering Qualifications Board in its work. Each sub-committee is chaired by a Canadian Engineering Qualifications Board member and consists of volunteers and staff from the provincial and territorial engineering regulators.

The following are the current sub-committees that assist the Canadian Engineering Qualifications Board

  • Admissions Issues Committee 
    The role of this committee is to support the admissions activities of the regulators, by providing regulators with informative, collaborative guidance on key issues and considerations.
  • Continuing Competence Committee  
    The role of this committee is to support continuing professional development and continuing competence activities carried out across the country.
  • Engineer-in-Training Committee  
    The role of this committee is to help with student and engineer-in-training-related activities and initiatives by developing tools and documents to facilitate the licensure and mobility of engineers-in-training.
  • Foresight Committee 
    The role of this committee is to identify key issues affecting regulation in the 5-to-10-year timeframe, in order to support more effective development of the Canadian Engineering Qualification Board’s work.
  • Practice Committee 
    The role of this committee is to provide guidance for regulators and practitioners on issues pertaining to ethics and professional practice. A national perspective on these issues provides greater harmonization and consistency in engineering practice.
  • Syllabus Committee 
    The role of this committee is to develop and update the CEQB examination syllabi and related documents. Academic/technical expertise and examination board experience are considered strong assets for members of this committee.
