Who Should Attend

This course is designed to help Internationally Educated Engineers not only prepare for their Confirmatory Professional Engineering Exams and earn their Professional Engineering Licenses (P.Eng.) in Canada but also expand and keep their knowledge up-to-date. The subject materials are also great for practicing professionals who want to refresh or upgrade their knowledge and keep up to date.

Online Course Format

Instructor-Led hours with the student (typically weekly)

This course is designed to give the students the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge that will allow them to understand the fundamentals of engineering relevant to the course, and therefore, pass the technical exam.

• Conducted using state-of-the-art online meeting and collaboration software (software is free for the student)
  Student Requires:
  Internet connection and any of the following:
  • PC (Windows or Mac) with audio (USB headset recommended), or
  • Tablet (iPad or Android), or
  • Smartphone (iPhone or Android)
• Before each class, the instructor may ask students to review or read topics from sources that include: specific book sections, instructor notes, web resources, etc.
• During the live online class, the instructor will
• explain the relevant fundamental theory and the most important concepts
• solve example problems (from or similar to old exams, and from other sources)
• answer questions the student(s) may have about the current class, previous class, or homework
• guide the student(s) to exactly what they need to do to prepare for next class assign practice problems
• Instructors use a variety of modes to deliver their live online classes: in addition to real-time audio interaction and explanations, a whiteboards and/or PowerPoints’ are common (both are made available in a printable format to the student after each class).
• A fair bit of self-study is expected on the part of the students, especially for pre-requisite topics. However, this is highly guided by the instructor, who also sets the pace and scope of the courses.
• Usually all the syllabus is covered. However, based on his/her expertise and judgment, the instructor may stress some parts of the course over others.
• In very few courses with very wide syllabi, the instructor may skip some contents that are deemed rare to appear on exams. This typically happens in solve-five-out-of-eight-questions exams, and will be communicated clearly to the students.
• If the frequency of email questions is reasonable, the instructor is usually going to respond to email questions. The instructor may prefer to defer some questions to the online session.
