Mission Statement| | The Canadian Academy of Engineering is an independent, self-governing and non-profit organization established in 1987 to serve the nation in matters of engineering concern. The Fellows of the Academy are professional engineers from all disciplines and are elected on the basis of their distinguished service and contribution to society, to the country and to the profession. The total number of Fellows at any one time may not exceed 250.The Academy is self-financing and does not receive grants from governments although it may accept to carry out studies and surveys on a contract basis.
