History

Did you know that the CFES was founded in 1969 to advance the profession of engineering and its role within society? Our organization has been hard at work serving students for 40 years, and hopefully will still be going strong in another 40.

Governance

In the CFES, there are three different levels of governance: the General Plenary, the Board of Directors and the National Executive. All three of these play an important role in ensuring the long-term stability and capability of the organization, and work together to ensure a successful federation for all stakeholders.
