I could use some additional input on Squares talk page. While I value a second opinion, and being that I'm relatively new in editing Wikipedia entries (specifically, as opposed to other wiki sites on specific topics: eg Star Wars wiki, etc), I find that I am having difficulty in reaching some consensus in three sections.
I think it's mainly due to not having additional voices chime in (enough) to lend weight to either side of the comments that have been left. I've published papers and reports, and I've collaborated with people on various topics, but I am finding this online based system more difficult to work with. I can appreciate the "anyone can edit" policy, and "assume good faith", but I also find it difficult to figure out when a random person (from my point of view anyone I interact with on these boards is random until I get to know them), is contributing to the discussion and being constructive, or is more "filling space" - for lack of a better explanation. Even then, they have a right to express their opinion, and many debates have been made from people creating arguments from their point of view, using facts as they see them (see Bill Nye vs Ken Ham for the "epic" example).
Wow, this page needs some cleanup from the Canadian content point of view. If I've made some factual mistakes, please let me know on my talk page. At the least, this is how engineering works in Canada:
The Provinces (and Territories) are responsible for licencing Professional Engineers in their own jurisdictions.
The Canadian Educational Accreditation Board certifies the educational content of Canadian engineering university programs - if a program does not have approval, (most likely) a graduate will not be able to be licensed.
Foreign trained and foreign certified engineers can apply for certification in the Province or Territory in which they wish to become certified - each jurisdiction has their own requirements in this area.
