"Interprovincial
Power Engineering Curriculum Committee (IPECC) will be an innovative organization
in advising the Standardization of Power Engineer Examinations Committee (SOPEEC)
on matters related to examinations, curriculum and syllabi for persons pursuing careers
in Power Engineering.
The Interprovincial
Power Engineering Curriculum Committee (IPECC) is an open membership committee to
enhance networking with the Community and Industry."
The Interprovincial
Power Engineering Curriculum Committee (IPECC) meets once a year in various locations
across Canada to discuss issues related to the Interprovincial curriculum. Participants
in this Committee include Training Providers of all Power Engineering programs, Chief
Provincial Examiners and interested Industry representatives. These
meetings provide a forum for Industry to provide feedback to Educational Institutes
and Training Providers on issues related to practicing Power Engineers. With
input from all stakeholders, this committee will propose changes which are deemed
necessary to enhance the training and skills of Power Engineers at all levels of competency. Changes
or proposals made at these meetings are taken to the SOPEEC meeting for discussion
and approval. SOPEEC presents these proposals
to the Association of Chief Inspectors (ACI) for final approval and implementation.
IPECC provided
valuable input for upgrading to the current 4th Class Power Engineering Syllabus and
subsequent course materials. The committee was instrumental in developing the new
3rd, 2nd and 1st Class syllabi and providing direction in the production of the new
curriculum
