I am interested in obtaining a Limited Engineering License (Eng. L.) in Nova Scotia. What are the academic qualification requirements for an Eng. L. compared to a full Professional Engineer (P. Eng.) license? Also, what is the minimum acceptable engineering work experience required for an Eng. L. and how does this compare to the experience required for a P. Eng. license? Finally, where can I find the fees associated with applying for an Eng. L.?

The agent successfully navigates to the 'Limited Engineering Licence (Eng. L.)' page. The agent states that for a P. Eng., academic qualification typically requires an undergraduate degree in engineering accredited by CEAB or equivalent, or an unaccredited degree with successful completion of assigned examinations. The agent states that for an Eng. L., academic qualification requires an undergraduate degree in science or technology, or an equivalent combination of education and experience. The agent states that the minimum acceptable engineering work experience for an Eng. L. is eight years of acceptable experience. The agent states that the minimum acceptable engineering work experience for a P. Eng. is four years of approved engineering experience. The agent identifies that fees for an Eng. L. (and other registration types) can be found on the 'Fees & Dues' page.
