About the session
The speaker discusses how engineering places public safety as paramount. The public needs to be confident that engineers practice with competency and integrity. Using specific examples, including those from his own experiences, the speaker demonstrates how the work of Canada’s professional engineers benefits society as well as the importance of public recognition. Among other topics, he examines the broad acceptance of self-regulation, engineering and public policy, global engineering, global mobility and engineering models and best practices with a focus on public accountability.
