PEO recognizes accomplishments and service

In addition to these awards, the PEO Awards Committee nominates outstanding PEO licence holders and EITs for honours and awards given by external agencies either as particularly distinguished professional engineers or as outstanding citizens. One such honour is the Fellows of Engineers Canada, where Engineers Canada recognizes individuals for their noteworthy service to the engineering profession, and bestows the privilege of the use of the designation “Fellow of Engineers Canada”, or FEC.
