Abstract:

The goal of this paper is to provide the engineering community in the Latin American and Caribbean countries an informative, yet brief description of the engineering accreditation issues and practices in Canada. This is in light of the inquiries by universities outside of Canada trying to develop articulations with the Canadian engineering schools. Some practices that may seem to be straightforward and feasible in the rest of the world may face significant challenges by the engineering programs offered in Canada.
