Engineers Canada established the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) in 1965 to accredit undergraduate engineering programs which provide aspiring engineers with the academic requirements necessary for registration as a professional engineer in Canada. CEAB also plays a key role in Engineers Canada's international activities, by assessing the equivalency of the accreditation systems used in other nations relative to the Canadian system, and by monitoring the accreditation systems employed by the engineering bodies which have entered into mutual recognition agreements with Engineers Canada.

Annually, Engineers Canada publishes a report outlining CEAB's accreditation criteria and procedures. This report also lists the Canadian undergraduate engineering programs that are currently, or have ever been, accredited by CEAB. In Canada, 40 educational institutions currently offer accredited undergraduate engineering programs leading to a bachelors degree in engineering, and there are 240 accredited engineering programs. Engineers Canada's CEAB Accreditation Criteria and Procedures Report can be viewed on this site. Copies can also be obtained by contacting the CEAB Secretariat, at ceab@engineerscanada.ca

CEAB/Engineers Canada is a member of the Association of Accrediting Agencies of Canada. For more information about the AAAC, please visit www.aaac.ca
