This paper presents the conceptual framework of the Internationally-Educated Engineers Qualification Pilot Program (IEEQ) at the University of Manitoba, Canada, highlighting the role that engineering schools can play in facilitating the cultural and labor market integration of foreign-trained engineers in North America. IEEQ is a 12-month program combining academic study and a paid work placement, and key structural features are that it leads to foreign credentials recognition, it relies on external partnerships with government and industry, and it shares common features with Minority Engineering Programs. Assessment and evaluation of IEEQ is characterized by a mixed methods approach, gathering both qualitative and quantitative data.
