Ready to work on your next competency? I see A.3 Design still needs a narrative.

Why squared²

Your P.Eng portfolio,
already done.

EITs spend years scattering competencies across spreadsheets, Word docs, and email threads. squared² organizes the evidence from day one, so the moment you're ready to apply, so is your SAR.

The problem

3–5 years of scattered evidence.

Most EITs reach licensure deadline and realize their proof is in fragments across employers, projects, and tools. Reorganizing it for the regulator takes months.

One framework, one app.

All 34 Engineers Canada competencies, tracked automatically as you log work.

Day one

Log as you go.

Capture project evidence the moment it happens — voice, resume, or LinkedIn import.

Watson AI

Organizes — never fabricates.

Watson matches your real experience to competencies and drafts narrative scaffolds. You stay the author.

Export day

SAR-ready, audit-ready.

Generate a complete licensure package in PDF, Markdown, or HTML when you're ready to submit.

Ethics

An engineer is offered a gift from a contractor bidding on a project they are evaluating. What should the engineer do?

One app, four jobs

Stop stitching tools.
Ship licensure faster.

Most EITs juggle four separate tools: an NPPE study site, a spreadsheet for competencies, Word for narratives, and a CPD log somewhere else. squared² replaces all of them with one app that tracks the entire P.Eng journey.

NPPE prep sites refers to generic engineering-exam study tools, which cover question banks well but don't track competencies, draft narratives, or export portfolios.

See your time-savings

How much time does squared² save you?

Three sliders. Anchored to real EIT timelines. Numbers update instantly.

3 yrs

A typical EIT term in Canada is 3 to 5 years of supervised practice.

4 h/wk

Includes journaling, organizing evidence, writing SAR drafts.

2

Each prior test reduces your remaining study load.

squared² saves you approximately 456 hours over your EIT term, equivalent to 9.4 focused work weeks. Includes an estimated 82 hours of NPPE prep through spaced repetition.

Conservative estimate. Most EITs we have spoken to find the real savings are higher once resume import + auto-mapping kick in.

Tell me about a project where you applied technical knowledge to solve an engineering problem.

At Northbridge Consulting, I designed a retaining wall for the Riverside interchange...

Great. What specific technical standards or codes did you reference?

I referenced CSA S6 and the provincial supplemental specifications for the design...

✦ Competency Match Found

A.1 Technical Knowledge — 92% confidence

See Watson

From messy note to SAR draft.

Illustrative example, not a live chat. Watson organizes your real experience, it never fabricates it.

Commissioned a 12.47 kV switchgear lineup at a water treatment plant. Found a relay mis-coordination during testing and worked with the contractor to fix it before energization.

Situation-Action-Result draft

Situation: During commissioning of a 12.47 kV switchgear lineup at a municipal water treatment plant, protective-relay coordination had to be verified before energization.

Action: I reviewed the coordination study against the as-built settings, identified a mis-coordination between the feeder and main relays, and coordinated with the contractor to re-test and correct the settings.

Result: The lineup was energized safely with verified protection, avoiding a potential nuisance trip or equipment damage on startup.

Questions

The honest answers.

Built by an engineer, for engineers

squared² was built by a Canadian engineer-in-training who was tired of tracking the path to P.Eng across scattered spreadsheets. It is the tool I needed, built honestly: it organizes your real experience, it never fabricates it.
