What is a P Eng?

A P. Eng, or Professional Engineer, is a licensed engineer who has met the education, experience, and examination requirements set by a provincial or territorial engineering regulatory body in Canada. This designation allows an individual to practice engineering, take legal responsibility for engineering work, and use the title 'Professional Engineer' or 'P. Eng'. Becoming a P. Eng demonstrates a commitment to ethical standards, public safety, and continued professional development. It is required for engineers who want to approve designs, sign off on projects, or offer engineering services to the public.
