APEGGA is a self-governing association responsible to the people of Alberta for the licensing of professional engineers, geologists and geophysicists, the maintaining of professional standards and upholding the Code of Ethics. Under the Engineering, Geological and Geophysical Professions (EGGP) Act, an Alberta Government statute, APEGGA regulates the professions of engineering, geology and geophysics in Alberta. This means that only those individuals licensed with APEGGA can practice or use titles relating to these three professions on projects in Alberta.
