Engineering societies

Although they are not involved in the licensing of engineers in Canada, engineering societies play a key role in helping engineers learn about new theories, advanced techniques and modern equipment through their conference, seminars or publications.

 

Professional societies are a means to demonstrate a certain level of experience and competency, through a process of validation.
