Abstract
The quality of engineering education in Canada is maintained within a very narrow band ofuniformity by virtue of an accreditation process. Since all provinces and territories of Canadarequire that all individuals practicing engineering must be registered professional engineers, allestablished engineering programs offered in Canada are accredited to meet the educationalrequirements for registration. Furthermore, new programs are developed with the objective ofsecuring accreditation at an appropriate time. The Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board(CEAB), acting on behalf of all professional engineering associations, through their parent, theCanadian Council of Professional Engineers (CCPE), conducts accreditation on the invitation ofdeans of engineering and applied science faculties. This paper describes the objectives and theprocess of accreditation. In particular it describes the process of dealing with emerging engineeringdisciplines and the assessment challenges presented by new technologies such as distance education.In order to calibrate educational standards of Canada in an international market, the paper alsooutlines the international activities of the CEAB

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
