thread_title:  Semi-protection 

message: On the Registration and regulation section for Canada, it is missing 2 crucial requirements to become a professional engineer as listed on the PEO website, namely:
be at least 18 years old.
be of good character.
In particular, the requirement of be of good character is paramount to a engineer as the professional engineer's duty is to be responsible for public safety and welfare.

replies: text: Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the  template. In particular, be 18 and of "good character' is pretty standard for all professional licensing requirements for both the Anglosphere and Francosphere. The article does not actually list "requirements' however, but a process of registration. This makes it somewhat doubtful if these requirements, even if documentable, are worth mentioning. Finally, "be of good character" requirements rarely have little, if anything, to do with professional duties in practice.  Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 07:24, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

message: On the United States Section, it is mentioned without citation that Texas and Florida were introducing licensing requirements for Software Engineering. According to the Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors, this appears to no longer be the case, as the NCEES has discontinued the PE for Software Engineers. Additionally, a potential source for the Florida claim may have been found:

message: Citation of Ontario Acts does not seem sufficient to claim worldwide custom and practice.  Legal systems and status vary, and matters such as morals are far too varied to claim a general obligation. Chemical Engineer (talk) 20:40, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
