Hello
I am an engineering student and hold great interest in the Canadian Forces.
I will eventually be going the ROTP route (assuming I am accepted).
My MOC would concern the engineering profession.
I am mostly interested in either Construction (Airfield) Engineer or AERE.
That being said, I might one day decide that the military life is not for me.
Don't get me wrong, I intend to pay back in full and see my contract through till the end.
It is just something that has been bothering me for some time.
For someone to become a professional Engineer they must meet several criteria.
Two of those criteria are:
- Have an engineering degree from an accredited university.
- Having 2-4 years experience under your belt as a junior/apprentice engineer.
My main concern is whether those 2-4 years will be accounted for during my time in the C.F.
Yes, I have searched. Extensively. I did not find any post answering the question directly. There were "maybe"s thrown around but no definite yes or no.
I even emailed Engineers Canada ( http://www.engineerscanada.ca/e/index.cfm ), whom, in their infinite kindness, have not answered me.
I wasn't sure where to post this, so I hope this sub-forum is appropriate.
Thank you for your time.
