The ASET Practice Review Board shall, on its own initiative or at the request of...

The Practice Review Board (PRB) is a critical statutory committee established under the Engineering and Geoscience Professions Act (EGPA) to maintain the overall quality and standards of the profession. Unlike the Investigative or Discipline Committees, which deal with specific complaints of misconduct against individual members, the PRB has a broader, more systemic mandate. One of its primary legal functions is to continuously evaluate, develop, and maintain the desirable standards of competence for all regulated members. The PRB conducts general reviews of practice trends, manages the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program, and can proactively audit the practices of members to ensure they are keeping their skills current and adhering to the latest technical and ethical standards. It acts as a proactive quality-assurance mechanism for the profession. It does not examine non-regulated individuals, nor does it broadly assess the entire engineering practice in Alberta (which is APEGA's domain), but rather focuses specifically on evaluating and enforcing the standards of competence for ASET's own regulated membership.
