Track Your P.Eng Competencies, All in One Place

Log experience against every competency, write self-assessments that hold up to review, and see exactly where your record is thin, built for Canadian engineers-in-training.

No credit card required.

Why a spreadsheet or a folder of Word docs breaks down

Most engineers-in-training start their competency reporting the same way: a spreadsheet of projects, or a folder of Word documents, one per narrative. It works for the first few entries. It stops working the moment your regulator asks for coverage across every competency category, because a flat list of projects has no structure that maps to the categories your regulator actually assesses.

Three things go wrong specifically. There is no mapping from your work to the regulator's competency categories, so you cannot see coverage gaps until you sit down to reconstruct everything at once. There is no running view of which categories are thin, so you find out too late that one category has a single weak example while another has ten. And self-assessments drift from what the work actually was, because they get written from memory months or years after the project, once the details have blurred.

An engineering competency record built this way is fragile exactly when it matters most: at application time, under review.

How competency tracking works here

1

Log a project once

Capture the project, your specific actions, the codes and standards you applied, and the measurable result, while it is still fresh. You import from a resume, or add it directly.

2

Map it against the competency categories

Each project maps to the 34 competencies in the Engineers Canada framework used by EGBC, APEGA, and other provincial regulators, so your engineering competency log stays organized by category, not just by date.

3

See coverage per category at a glance

A heatmap-style view shows which categories are strong, which are thin, and which have nothing logged yet, so gaps surface while you still have time to work on them.

4

Draft the self-assessment from the logged detail

Write the Situation-Action-Result narrative from what you actually logged, not from memory months later. You stay the author; Watson, the built-in AI study companion, helps you shape and tighten it.

Who this is for

Engineers-in-training actively logging experience now, who want their competency reporting to stay current instead of becoming a year-end scramble, and EITs about to submit who need to reconstruct a scattered record fast, and see where it is thin, before their regulator does.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a competency?

A competency is a specific skill or behaviour, defined by the Engineers Canada national framework, that you must demonstrate through real engineering work rather than simply claim. For each one you write a short Situation-Action-Result narrative showing exactly what you did, and a validator who saw the work confirms it.

How many competencies are there?

Most Canadian regulators assess 34 competencies grouped into 7 categories: technical competence, management of engineering work, communication, social implications, individual and team effectiveness, ethics and equity, and (outside Quebec) Canadian environment competencies. Quebec uses its own separate set.

Can I export my record?

Yes. Your competency record, including your SAR narratives and per-category coverage, exports to a polished PDF you can review, share with a supervisor, or copy into your regulator's own application portal.

Does this replace my regulator's official submission?

No. squared.engineering is a preparation and organizational tool, not affiliated with Engineers Canada or any provincial or territorial regulator. It does not submit anything on your behalf. Your regulator's own portal remains the only official application, and this tool exists to make that submission easier to write and harder to get wrong.
