Core courses make up89.8% of the credit hour requirements at the University of British Columbia (UBC),which until 2010 was the only institution in British Columbia (B.C.) to offer anaccredited program in Civil Engineering. There is therefore limited opportunity to takespecialized and advanced optional technical structural engineering courses in the typicalCanadian undergraduate civil engineering program and in B.C. specifically.The practice of Professional Engineering in Canada is self-regulated by Provincial andTerritorial associations. Each of the associations’ Code of Ethics are modeled on those ofEngineers Canada, which contains an

In short, the PE has completedseveral steps (post-bachelor’s degree) that indicate a high level of commitment to professionalknowledge and competency. These steps typically include passing an 8-hour fundamentals exam,completing four years of progressive engineering experience in a particular field of engineering(under the supervision of a PE), and then passing an 8-hour exam testing knowledge gainedduring the candidate’s period of apprenticeship. Once obtained, the engineer is obligated to meetboth a professional standard of care and code of professional ethics to maintain the license.When is a PE license required?

Work effectively as a member of an interdisciplinary project design team, bringing unique skills perspectives and background not shared by all team members, and using information provided outside the student’s own background to complete the design. 2. Carry out a sports facility design including the evaluation of considerations such as economics, ethics, societal, environmental impacts, and constructability. 3. Write a project report that is of a quality commonly found to be acceptable in the engineering profession. 4. Orally present the results of an

It is a period for a candidate to acquire practical knowledge, skills, andattitudes which can be learnt only in an industrial or commercial environment, and arecomplementary to those he has already acquired in college through formal education. Thetraining is aimed at developing the technical and managerial abilities of the candidate so as tobetter prepare him to undertake engineering projects as a professional engineer in his later careerwith due consideration of

Criterion: (1) Develop design requirements and a project approach that addresses client needs within the constraints imposed by the client, appropriate design standards/laws, and natural limitations. (2) Identify appropriate alternatives to meet client desires within the constraint imposed and evaluate the feasibility of the alternatives choosing the “best” based upon developed criteria.
