Welcome to Professional Engineering (P.Eng.) Body of Knowledge (PEngBOK)

Curated by Usman Khalid, P.Eng., our goal is to help aspiring engineers navigate the Canadian P.Eng licensure process. The P.EngBOK is designed to be a comprehensive knowledge resource center, providing essential guidelines, technical articles, templates, and valuable tips for professional engineers. It will cover all aspects of the P.Eng licensing journey, including the National Professional Practice Exams (NPPE), Competency-Based Assessment (CBA) framework, technical exams, and interviews. Join us on this journey towards a successful path to professional engineering in Canada.
