PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

“ The CPD seminar covered all aspects of APEGA’s expectations, which would undoubtedly benefit all active Professional Members, irrespective of their engineering backgrounds, in fulfilling the purpose of the CPD requirements. Among the information outlined were the recording activities. These were remarkable takeaway tips for any Professional Member. CPD requirements focus on public demand and lay great emphasis on professionals to be accountable for the lifelong learning process. This enhances and contributes to our key contribution of carrying out our professional practice while keeping in mind the safety and welfare of the public. Since every Member’s CPD plan is regulated and includes mandatory proficiencies, attending the program was a great way to start fulfilling future CPD requirements, both on individual and organizational levels. ” -CHANDRA ACHARYA, P.ENG. Medicine Hat Senior Geotechnical Engineer Parkland Geotechnical Consulting Ltd.

“ The session was valuable for me to understand how professional practice CPD hours apply to Members in leadership roles — roles which may focus you less on your own engineering work and more on overseeing work completed by others. My greatest takeaway? Understanding that the time you spend overseeing other engineers while they complete their work, and having some influence on this work, can be counted for professional practice hours. ” -MEAGHAN JANSSEN, P.ENG. Edmonton Senior Engineer, Standards ATCO Gas, Pipelines & Liquids Global Business Unit
