3 Hours

The Law and Professional Practice in Engineering and Geoscience professional development module includes important information on the topics of professionalism and law as they relate to the professional practice of APEGS members.

There are some things to be aware of that have changed since the segments were recorded:

  • The monarch for Canada as of September 2022 is King Charles III. The Court of Queen’s Bench is referred to in various places in the presentations, and that is now the Court of King’s Bench.
  • Council size is being reduced through attrition to 13 members and this will be complete as of the 2024 elections.
  • Current information on the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Program can be found on the APEGS website under “CPD”.

All content in this module is intended for general information only and should not be construed as legal advice. Before taking any actions based on the information presented, consider your personal situation and seek professional legal advice.

This module counts for 1 Formal Activity credit upon first viewing.

Critical minerals (CM) are essential to Canada’s future to meet climate change goals, expand international trade, and strengthen national security. Historical definitions of CM focused on their importance during periods of war but have been expanded to include those that are important for the transition to a low-carbon and digital economy and are essential to economic and national security.

The uses, distribution of resources, supply chain, and geopolitics of the six priority critical minerals identified by the federal government (lithium, graphite, nickel, cobalt, copper, and rare earth elements) will be discussed. In addition, uranium, aluminum, and potash, will be highlighted.

This module counts for 1 Formal Activity credit upon first viewing.

The Saskatchewan Research Council worked with SaskPower to build SaskPower’s first community-scale renewable microgrid, approximately 7 hours north of Saskatoon in Descharme Lake, SK. The hybrid remotely controlled system, owned by SaskPower, is expected to increase resiliency, reach a high degree of renewable penetration and yield a favorable payback compared to the existing 95-km single phase line that currently powers the community. In this session, the design process will be shared including the efficiencies and redundancies of the microgrid.

This module counts for 1 Formal Activity credit upon first viewing.

This presentation will cover three main components: radiation environments in space and at ground level, radiation effects in silicon technologies, and mitigation techniques. Several CMOS platforms—including 2D planar CMOS, FDSOI, and FinFET processes—will be introduced and compared in terms of their electrical characteristics, physical structures, and susceptibility to radiation-induced effects. Radiation-hardening-by-design (RHBD) techniques will then be presented, along with the unique challenges of implementing these strategies across different technology nodes.
