We trust our engineers here in Quebec
Dear visitor,
Engineering is a rigorous art that makes vast contributions to our society.
The huge achievements of the past century give some idea of the impact
this field has had on our lives. Because of its crucial role, engineering
must inspire the confidence of those employing its services and of the public
in general.
In Quebec, the OIQ carefully monitors compliance with rules of this trade
and with the professional integrity of members, while also overseeing the development of the engineering profession.
This kind of work is all the more critical, as the Order has more than 60,000 members, making it the second largest of the 46 professional orders charged by the Government of Quebec with the duty of protecting the public.
Our mission is to ensure the protection of the public-which means your protection, and to deploy
all necessary resources for achieving this goal. That is why we have designed this Web site.
We hope the new site will not only provide you with quick answers to your questions but will
answer questions you might not even have considered asking, thanks to its detailed information
and its many links.
Whether you wish to learn more about the profession of engineering, learn about how the
Order works, lodge a complaint or view a document pertaining to the practice of engineering,
you are in the right place. Please take the time to browse around and to share your comments
and suggestions.
Because engineering is also a question of confidence!
The president,
Maud Cohen, Eng.
