Are you an engineer with a burning desire to get yourself licensed and work in Ontario (Canada)? If so, then reading this blog will help you. Here, in this blog, we will tell you about PEO work experience requirements. Besides that, we will also tell you other necessary things related to that. So, invest the thickest drop of your attention here.
PEO work experience requirements:
As per Ontario law, you need to have four years of engineering work experience before you can attain your professional engineering licence. A minimum of one year of experience must be obtained in a Canadian jurisdiction. It ensures you have sufficient exposure to Canadian engineering codes, technical standards, legislation and regulations.
PEO work experience is assessed against 5 quality-based criteria:
1. Application of theory
2. Practical experience
3. Engineering management
4. Communication skills
5. Awareness of the social implications coming from engineering
To attain an engineering licence, you must prove a minimum of 48 months of acceptable, verifiable engineering experience that you earned after completing your undergraduate engineering degree.
How to record your engineering work experience?
For your PEO engineering work experience record, we advise you to download some related forms and guides to record your work experience as you earn it. You should do it under the guidance of a PEO competency report writing expert. After that, submit your work experience requirement documentation to experiencedocs@peo.on.ca.
Criteria for acceptable engineering experience:
Experience is a very important component in forming the engineering graduate on their way to attaining licensing as a professional engineers. The responsibility of providing the appropriate opportunity, environment, range and progression of activities to fulfill the experience criteria rests with the firm providing the work environment and the people who offer supervision during the internship period.
Two compulsory parts of acceptable engineering experience are the application of theory and practical experience. Both must be demonstrated over a substantial part (but not all) of the internship period. You need to be supplemented by exposure to, or experience in, the wide areas of management of engineering, communication skills and the social implications of engineering. With a minimum of some appropriate exposure to each of these other components, you will not be eligible for a licence.
