The Canadian Academy of Engineering (CAE) is a prestigious national institution established in 1987 to recognize and unite Canada’s most distinguished professional engineers. With over 750 elected Fellows, the CAE aims to leverage their expertise to address significant engineering challenges that affect the country’s prosperity and quality of life. The academy operates from its headquarters in Ottawa and maintains a bilingual presence through regular newsletters.

As an independent, non-political forum, the CAE provides informed, evidence-based advice on engineering and technological issues of national importance. It promotes engineering excellence and innovation, facilitates collaboration among engineers, and recognizes outstanding achievements through the election of Fellows and various awards. The CAE also produces reports, public policy recommendations, and organizes events to foster dialogue on engineering topics, serving a diverse audience that includes government bodies, industry leaders, academic institutions, and the general public.
