Ontario professional engineers are part of a community of more than 85,000 PEO licence and certificate holders committed to enhancing the quality of life, safety and well-being in the province. The P.Eng. designation represents high standards of engineering knowledge, experience and professionalism. To become a professional engineer in Ontario, you must be licensed by Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO). 

Why become a P.Eng.?

• It may be required by law. A license is required for certain kinds of engineering work as outlined by the Proffesional Engineering Act.
• Premium insurance rates. Being a member of the PEO entitles you to premium insurance plans on life, home, auto, and disability.
• Career opportunities. As a licensed professional engineer, you have the right to use P.Eng. after your name and "engineer" in your job title. Having a P.Eng. demonstrates you have met a rigorous educational standard, and are committed to a strict code of ethics. It is common for senior management positions to require a P.Eng. license.

As an engineering student, you can easily obtain a student membership with the PEO.

Student membership benefits include:

• Student website with information about engineering news/presentations/surveys and issues, how to obtain your license, transitioning into the Engineering Intern (EIT) program and accessing mentorship opportunities through PEO
• Invitations/email notices for local events/presentations offered by PEO chapters and other organizations (including student pricing, in some cases)
• Opportunities to have your questions about licensure and engineering answered by PEO and members of the engineering community
• Access to PEO’s official journal, Engineering Dimensions.
