Graduating from an Accredited Engineering Program is a huge accomplishment but it does not make you an engineer. An engineering graduate must have between two and four years of on-the-job engineering work experience under the supervision of a Professional Engineer, as well as pass a professional ethics exam, to obtain a P.Eng. and become a true Professional. The best way to ensure that you take all the required steps as quickly and easily as possible is to register as an EIT with the engineering licensing body in the province or territory where you are working. It's inexpensive, and the rewards definitely outweigh the costs.
