List of engineering societies

Template:Short description An engineering society is a professional organization for engineers of various disciplines. Some are umbrella type organizations which accept many different disciplines, while others are discipline-specific. Many award professional designations, such as European Engineer, professional engineer, chartered engineer, incorporated engineer or similar. There are also many student-run engineering societies, commonly at universities or technical colleges.

Canada

In Canada, the term "engineering society" sometimes refers to organizations of engineering students as opposed to professional societies of engineers. The Canadian Federation of Engineering Students, whose membership consists of most of the engineering student societies from across Canada (see below), is the national association of undergraduate engineering student societies in Canada.

Canada also has many traditions related to the calling of an engineer.

The Engineering Institute of Canada (French: l'Institut Canadien des ingénieurs) has the following member societies:

• Institution of Mechanical Engineers (Canadian Branch of the IMechE)

Philippines

In the Philippines, the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) is a three-man commission attached to the office of the president of the Philippines. Its mandate is to regulate and supervise the practice of professionals (except lawyers) who constitute the highly skilled manpower of the country. As the agency-in-charge of the professional sector, the PRC plays a strategic role in developing the corps of professionals for industry, commerce, governance and the economy. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is the agency of the government of the Philippines charged with the registration and supervision of corporations, securities, and professional organizations not registered under the PRC, as well as capital market institutions and participants, in the Philippines. The commission promotes investor protection in the Philippines as part of its mandate.
