Becoming a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) 

To be considered for P.Eng. licensure, applicants must meet PEO’s academic and experience requirements and complete a good character assessment. Confirm if you can apply by completing the "Am I ready to apply?" survey. 

More details on how to apply for licensure are available here. 

Our chapter participates in the Licensure Assistance Program (LAP) which provides an opportunity for experienced professional engineers (Guides) to mentor and assist engineering interns (EITs) pursuing their professional engineer (P.Eng.) licence. Please contact us for more details. 

Students and Educators

The Education Outreach Committee works with local schools and students to promote science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education and careers. Some education activities offered by PEO chapters include bridge-building competitions, mathletics events and a Grade 12 scholarships for students pursuing engineering at the post-secondary level. Visit our Events tab to search for upcoming educational outreach events. Scholarship information can be found under Resources for Students and Educators on this page.

Government Liaison Program (GLP) 

PEO has a legislative mandate under the Professional Engineers Act to regulate the practice of engineering in the public interest. The self-regulating engineering profession—comprising 90,000 professionals—has been successfully serving and protecting the public for over 100 years since PEO’s founding in 1922. The GLP helps ensure the Ontario government, PEO licence holders and the public continue to recognize PEO’s regulatory mandate. 

The GLP Committee looks for opportunities to meet and build relationships with Members of Provincial Parliament (MPP). This allows for improved communication between the provincial government and PEO and supports the co-regulation of the engineering profession in the public interest. Our chapter has various provincial ridings and a GLP volunteer assigned to each MPP. The committee works to ensure GLP representatives live and/or work in the riding of their assigned MPP. 

Please contact us to be connected with your GLP representative.
