• There are different types of Interviews part of the registration process
• They are not always required
• Typically Interviews will assess if the experience requirements are met
• Their result will have an impact on the length of the process towards registration
Types of Interviews
The different types are:
• The Experience Review Interview(mandatory)
• The Looking-To-Exempt (LTE)Interview (optional)
• The EIT Discussion of Experience(may be required for final credit assignment)
• The LL Discussion of Experience and Scope Definition Interview(mandatory)
• The LL Job-Site Interview(mandatory)
• Special Interview(e.g. at the end of experience assignment, or requested by RC at some point, or requested for by the FP, or to“replace” a previous one)
Types of Interviews
• The Experience Review interview determines whether the candidate has satisfied all of the experience requirements and has demonstrated a progression of experience and responsibility to a professional level (mandatory)
• The LTE interview determines whether the candidate has acquired equivalent knowledge and expertise of the discipline through experience and applied engineering principles to the degree that confirmatory exams can be waived (optional)
• The EIT Discussion of Experience may be required by reviewers for the final 6-month credit assignment of the Internship Program (mandatory if required)
不过,没有注册的人,也可以在有P.Eng. licence的人supervision下从事相关工作,包括本地的本科毕业生毕业后直接可以从事相关工作,他们的title则是相关专业的EIT(Engineer In Training)。在我所在的公司,也有不少具有相关能力经验,但没有license的人以相关专业的specialist的title从事engineering的工作。
对于移民来说,P.Eng.还有一个额外的作用就是可以和执业医生一样帮助他人公民申请时做 reference.
• Professional Engineers in your discipline (typically 2) + 1 Chair
• The Chairperson establishes beforehand points of discussion/questioning, due process and a focused panel
