Engineers Canada Overview Established in 1936, the Engineers Canada (Engineers Canada) is the national organization of the 12 licensing bodies that regulate the practice of engineering in Canada and license the country's more than 160,000 professional engineers. Engineers Canada serves the licensing bodies by developing and delivering national programs that ensure the highest standards of engineering education, practice, professional qualifications and ethical conduct. In addition to being the voice of the licensing bodies in national and international affairs, Engineers Canada establishes national policies, positions and guidelines on behalf of the engineering profession. It also promotes greater understanding of the nature, role and contribution of engineering to society, and undertakes federal government relations and national media relations on behalf of, and in consultation with, the licensing bodies.
