In Canada, the term 'Engineering Society' generally refers to organizations of Engineering students as opposed to professional societies of engineers.
The Canadian Federation Of Engineering Students (CFES) , whose membership consists of most of the engineering societies from across Canada (see below), is the national association of undergraduate engineering student societies in Canada.
Canada also has many traditions related to the calling of an engineer. See Engineering Traditions In Canada for more information.
The Western Engineering Students' Societies Team (WESST) is the regional association of undergraduate engineering student societies in Western Canada .
In the UK, the Engineering Council (UK) is the umbrella body for the ''Engineering Institutions''. EC(UK) is established by Royal Charter and controls the award of Chartered Engineer status within the UK. The Royal Academy Of Engineering is the national academy for engineering, similar to the Royal Society in science and the British Academy in arts and humanities.
