| | Webinar | VibeOps: The Missing Half of Software DevOps in the Age of AI 4/1/2026 12:00 p.m. Vibe Coding has changed how software is written, allowing developers to describe intent in natural language. But DevOps remain stuck in a world of memorized commands, fragile pipelines, and tool sprawl. This webinar introduces VibeOps: a new operating model where infrastructure, deployments, and environments are controlled through intent rather than syntax. Webinar | Heat to Electricity via the Organic Rankine Cycle 4/15/2026 11:00 a.m. This webinar will explore how waste heat sources can be converted into useful electrical power. Webinar | Human-Centered Leadership in Engineering 4/22/2026 7:00 p.m. This interactive session introduces a human-centered perspective on leadership grounded in the Catalyst Blueprint, a framework developed from lived engineering and project leadership experience. Join the Fort McMurray Branch for this event. | | APEGA EVENTS
| Webinar | Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics 4/7/2026 12:00 p.m. This webinar will explain computational fluid dynamics, a computer-based simulation method that uses numerical techniques to model fluid flow and heat transfer, enabling engineers to analyze, design, and optimize complex systems across multiple industries by understanding its fundamentals, applications, and limitations. Webinar | Erosion and Sediment Control 4/16/2026 12:00 p.m. The session examines regulatory frameworks, erosion and sediment site planning and management, runoff analysis, and soil stabilization mechanisms to address erosion control across land development and construction projects. Webinar | Negotiating for Optimal Results 4/30/2026 10:00 a.m. This two-hour session explores how to balance achieving substantive negotiation outcomes with maintaining strong working relationships by examining mindsets and assumptions, contrasting positional bargaining with interest-based negotiation, and identifying strategies to create win-win value for both parties. | |  |  | Competency-Based Assessment Process Launching for Professional Geoscientist Applicants | Starting April 11, APEGA is introducing a competency-based assessment (CBA) process for professional geoscientist applicants, similar to the one currently used for professional engineer applicants. The CBA process supports a nationally consistent approach to evaluating professional experience and is widely used by regulators across Canada. |
|  | Practice Notice on the Use of Artificial Intelligence | APEGA publishes practice notices to provide general advice and guidance to licensed professionals on emerging trends and issues in the engineering and geoscience professions in Alberta. Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly become part of many people’s day-to-day lives. Licensed engineers and geoscientists who use AI tools in their practices must continue to meet their ethical and professional obligations under the Engineering and Geoscience Professions Act, the General Regulation, and APEGA’s bylaws, as well as published practice standards and the Rules of Conduct outlined in the Code of Ethics. |
