The Association thanks everyone who took the time to respond to the recent member survey. We received 979
responses, which represents about 12% of our membership and registrants. Overall, your
responses indicated that professions in which all registrants and members experience
respect, dignity, and fair access to opportunity, and where quality standards are
upheld, is important to the whole membership.
For more information about the survey results and the upcoming consultation sessions, please see the

Did You Know?
A person cannot call themselves an engineer in Manitoba unless they are a member of EngGeoMB?
The Engineering & Geoscientific Professions Act is the law in Manitoba restricting
the use of the words engineer, engineering, geoscientist, and geoscience.
See Section 58 of
the Act.
Even if a person has graduated from an engineering school or university,
they cannot use the title engineer on a LinkedIn profile, web page, business
card, or in any form, unless first registering with Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba.
This is the law in every province of Canada.

Real design challenges are shifting from building things to building systems;
not another house, but designing a whole smart city; not another power plant,
but a whole smart grid. In this course, attendees will study a formal approach
to innovation based on systems thinking. This process involves taking a more
holistic view of a problem and considering how all the system parts interact.
