In Canada, you cannot legally call yourself an engineer or be responsible for professional engineering work unless you are licensed. This license makes you part of a national community of over 290 000. It is an assurance of dedication, skill, and quality. Engineers Canada is the national organization for bringing together for collaboration and advocating on the behalf of the twelve provincial and territorial engineering regulators in Canada. They work together with the regulators to advance the profession in the public interest and to promote and maintain integrity, honour, and interests of the profession. A board of directors composed of representatives from the regulators determine the direction and the strategic plan of the organization. This strategic plan outlines four strategic priorities for 2019-2021: accreditation improvement program, accountability in accreditation, recruitment, retention, and professional development of women in the engineering profession, and competency-based assessment project. The Accreditation Board is mandated to accredit Canadian undergraduate engineering programs that meet or exceed educational standards acceptable for professional engineering registration in Canada. The Qualifications Board oversees promoting mobility, consistent practices, and shared programs for the regulation of the practice of engineering. Engineers Canada works the ensure that the mobility of engineers across Canada is easy and effective. Engineers Canada initiates and maintains relations with the federal government to ensure their needs and concerns are considered when the government acts or drafts legislation and present the engineering profession as a resource for policy-makers. This government relations program publishes national position statements on issues that relate to engineering and the public interest. It also prepares government submissions. To consider the implications from climate change in recommendations and plans for design, operation, and maintenance of infrastructure, Engineers Canada along with Natural Resources Canada developed the public infrastructure engineering vulnerable comity protocol. Engineers Canada is working to ensure that the engineering profession reflects the demographics of Canadian society. The 30 by 30 goal program aims to increase the number of female newly licensed engineers to 30% by 2030.
