FAQ's

The difference between a Graduate Engineer and an Engineer lies in experience and expertise. A Graduate Engineer has recently completed their engineering studies and is beginning their professional journey. An Engineer, on the other hand, has gained practical experience and developed a deeper understanding of their field. It's a journey of growth and refinement.

The duration of a Graduate Engineer's journey varies depending on the program and the individual's progress.

Engineers graduate at various ages, as it depends on personal circumstances and educational paths. Most Engineers complete their undergraduate studies in their early to mid-20s. However, some individuals may pursue engineering later in life as a career change, meaning they may graduate at a different age. Remember, engineering is a field that welcomes diverse journeys.

Having an engineering degree is a significant milestone. Practical experience and membership is an essential element to developing Engineers in our community.

Brownfield project engineering involves working on existing plant and sites that may have been previously constructed.

A Graduate Engineer has a range of opportunities to explore under the supervision of an RPEQ Engineer. They can contribute to engineering projects and gain hands-on experience under the guidance of experienced professionals. It's a period of growth and learning where a Graduate Engineer can apply their theoretical knowledge to real-world situations, gradually becoming more proficient and confident in their chosen field.
