It is a comprehensive reference for engineers and geoscientists in any branch of these professions, in any province or territory of Canada. The book is intended for practising professionals, recent graduates, senior undergraduates, and immigrants who wish to practise engineering or geoscience in Canada. The book is an excellent study guide for the practice and ethics part of the Professional Practice Examination (PPE) required for licensing in every province and territory...
