If you are going to be practicing engineering, geology or geophysics in Alberta, you will need a licence to do so. The Association has the power and an obligation to withdraw the right to practice from members found guilty of unskilled practice or unethical conduct. If you do not hold either status, apply for registration as a Foreign Licensee. You must provide either a Certificate of Graduation or official transcripts. Good character connotes moral and ethical strength and includes integrity, candor, honesty and trustworthiness.
Character is what a person is, while reputation is what others believe that person to be.
This may be accomplished by passing the Professional Practice Examination. If you are a professional engineer licensed elsewhere in Canada or the United States, a registration package has been designed to reflect the need for increased mobility expressed in the Interprovincial Mobility Agreement and the North American Free Trade Agreement. Simply request this package when making your inquiry. If you are a student at the University of Calgary or University of Alberta and have obtained your bachelor's degree and are attending the Graduating Student Luncheon, you will be provided with an application package that emphasizes the four-year experience and professional practice examination requirements. If you have any questions while completing your application, please contact the office to speak with one of our staff.
