Through the Canadian Engineering Qualifications Board CEQB (CEQB), Engineers Canada is seeking proposals from firms or individual consultants to develop a Paper on the regulation of emerging disciplines. The Project will be developed through a phased, consultation-based approach, with an anticipated completion date of October 31, 2024.
Successful completion of this Project will entail several key deliverables, developed with the support of the CEQB Secretariat and in consultation with Project stakeholders, including the CEQB Admissions Issues:
- The development and facilitation of a virtual half-day workshop in October 2023 on the regulation of emerging disciplines;
- The creation and revision of a general direction document following the workshop, to be circulated for consultation among key Engineers Canada stakeholders; and
- The creation and revision of the Guideline on the regulation of emerging disciplines.
The paper is intended to support effective regulation of emerging disciplines by providing Canadian engineering regulators with insight into key topics, including but not limited to:
- Factors influencing the regulation of emerging areas;
- Methods for determining the timing, scope, and type of engagement required for regulating emerging areas; and,
- Methods for monitoring, assessment, and the creation of national alignment in regulating emerging areas
