Technical Examinations
Applicants who have not completed an accredited or recognized engineering program may be assigned technical examinations to demonstrate their academic qualifications.
For an applicant who has not completed an accredited or recognized engineering program, PEGNL, based on an assessment of the applicant’s academic credentials, may assign to the applicant either confirmatory examinations or a deficiency examination program.
Geoscience Examinations
Geoscience Examinations in some geoscience knowledge areas are available through he Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA) . The administration and registration processes are the same as the engineering exams. Acceptance of an exam in lieu of a course to fulfill a geoscience knowledge deficiency is considered by PEGNL on a case by case basis.
Engineering Examination Syllabi
Examinations are based on Engineers Canada’s Examination Syllabi. The Examination Syllabi include Basic Studies, Complementary Studies, and Discipline-specific Studies.
Examination Administration
Technical examinations are offered through an online platform and proctored virtually. PEGNL participates in the online examination platform and proctoring offered through Engineers and Geoscientists BC (EGBC) in partnership with The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA) and Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO).
More information on the examinations is available here.
