Engineering Societies
The practice of Engineering throughout Canada is regulated by Professional Associations in each province. The right to practice and accept professional responsibility is limited to those who are registered with the professional organization in the particular province concerned. In Saskatchewan, this organization is the
Association of Professional Engineers & Geoscientists of Saskatchewan. Graduates are encouraged to join the Association as Engineers in Training. Normally, four years of acceptable experience following graduation are necessary for registration as a Professional Engineer, but up to one year of EPIP experience may be considered acceptable by APEGS.
The practicing engineer keeps abreast of technological developments through membership in one of several technical societies. Students in Engineering may become student members of such technical societies as the Engineering Institute of Canada, the Canadian Society for Chemical Engineers, the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers, the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, the Canadian Society for Bioengineering, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, the Society for Automotive Engineers or the Society of Petroleum Engineers. Engineering students are encouraged to join the societies closest to their specialty.
The
Saskatoon Engineering Student Society of the university is a voluntary organization of students within the college. Its object is to promote academic, social and athletic interests of the student body.
