APEGA regulates engineering and geoscience
Our main regulatory function is licensing individuals and companies that want to practise engineering and geoscience in Alberta.
APEGA registrants are required to practise engineering and geoscience skilfully, ethically, and professionally. APEGA investigates written complaints from registrants and the public.
Each spring, prior to the annual general meeting, APEGA produces a report of its activities, statistics, and finances, which it submits to the Government of Alberta.
This mandatory program ensures the health, safety, and welfare of the public by requiring that professionals engage in lifelong learning on an annual basis.
On October 17, 2025, ASET and APEGA signed a memorandum of understanding to transfer all professional technologists [P.Tech.(Eng.)/(Geo.)] from ASET to APEGA for sole regulation and oversight. If approved by the Government of Alberta, this change will occur when APEGA and ASET transition to the Professional Governance Act (PGA), expected in March 2027.
APEGA continues to prepare for the anticipated proclamation of the Professional Governance Act (PGA), with staggered implementation for professional regulatory organizations stretching into 2027.
APEGA’s revised Continuing Professional Development practice standard has been published and is in effect starting November 1, 2025. In addition, the new Personal Annual Competency Evaluation practice guideline has been published, which provides recommended best practices for tracking CPD activities under the revised standard.
Lt.-Col. Chelsea Braybrook, P.Eng., a proud APEGA registrant and military infantry officer, is currently stationed overseas commanding Operation UNIFIER, the Canadian Armed Forces’ military training and capacity-building mission in support of Ukraine. Looking back at her career, Braybrook takes equal pride in her infantry and engineering work—and explains the life-or-death stakes of Canadian "sappers."
The $1,250 awarded to each recipient supports undergraduate and graduate students in engineering and geoscience programs who demonstrate exceptional leadership.
