continuing professional development
APEGNB has been entrusted with the responsibility for the regulation of engineering and geoscience in the province of New Brunswick.
We do this by ensuring that professional engineers and geoscientists:
- conduct their work on an ethical basis,
- acquire and maintain a level of knowledge commensurate to their practice, and
- practice with an appropriate level of skill.
The Engineering and Geoscience Professions Act and the By-Laws, including the Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct, clearly require that professional engineers and geoscientists practice only in areas in which they are competent.
Professional Engineers and Geoscientists as well as Limited Licencees (LEL and LGL) are also required to maintain and enhance their own competence, to contribute to the advancement of knowledge and to encourage employees to improve their knowledge and education.
Watch the video below and find out more about the recent changes to this program, including a mandatory ethics and regulatory requirement.
Important items to note:
