Academic Integrity at the University of Windsor - Faculty of Engineering
The profession of engineering is governed by a strict and legislated code of ethics. Obtaining an accredited engineering degree is the first step on the road to becoming a registered member of our profession. The same high standards of integrity and ethics required of a Professional Engineer are also expected of engineering students. It is your responsibility as an engineering student to help maintain the academic integrity of the University of Windsor. Cheating or plagiarizing by even one student hurts all students, because anything that undermines the evaluation process undermines the value of the University of Windsor's degrees.
This website has been established as a result of the Faculty's Coordinating Council decision to form a Joint Faculty-Student Academic Integrity Committee to promote academic integrity in the Faculty, address issues of concern and to provide a resource for information on matters of academic integrity.
The University of Windsor, along with some other Canadian Universities, is an institutional member of the Center for Academic Integrity which is located at Duke University in the United States and is the repository for everything and anything related to the issue of academic integrity.
All faculty and students are strongly encouraged to download a copy of the famous A Letter to my Students (available as a PDF file by Professor Bill Taylor).
Any comments about this website or academic integrity issues in the Faculty of Engineering should be addressed to the Academic Integrity Committee at EAIC@uwindsor.ca

P.Eng. - Professional Engineer
The following are Extracts from the website of the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers
( www.ccpe.ca and www.peng.ca )
The terms engineer, engineering, professional engineer, P.Eng., consulting engineer, ingénieur, ing., ingénieur conseil, génie and ingénierie are official marks held by the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers on behalf of its Constituent Members.
The P.Eng. is a professional licence. When you hold a P.Eng., you are licensed to practice engineering in the province or territory where it was granted. The licence also gives you the right to use the letters P.Eng. after your name. It tells the world that you are a Professional Engineer, that you are committed to enhancing people's quality of life, health, safety and well-being; and, that you are dedicated to protecting the environment.
To obtain a P.Eng., you need the right education. That generally means graduating from a rigorous engineering program accredited* by the profession, or a program offered outside Canada that is recognized by the profession through an international agreement.
You also need the right experience - two to four years of on-the-job internship completed under the supervision of a P.Eng.
Last but not least, you must register with a provincial or territorial licensing body and write a professional practice examination. The P.Eng. tells both employers and the public that you:
- Are legally and ethically responsible for your work, and hold public safety as paramount;
- Maintain the highest levels of competence, as judged by your peers;
- Continually upgrade your knowledge; and,
- Adhere to a strict code of ethics.
A P.Eng. represents the highest standards of engineering knowledge, experience and professionalism in the country.
* The University of Windsor programs are accredited by the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers.
For more information vist the Professional Engineers of Ontario (PEO) website.
