I am glad I didn't have to take those brutal exams american engineers have to take.
The problem with these professional organzations is that they are inundated with academics who rarely practice in the real world, also the reason they do run these organizations (they have time to do so).

OT by now, but that's not accurate. Canadian standards are much higher than most countries out there. Case in point- that "brutal" exam to practise in the USA is actually kind of a joke. The pass rate for U of A grads is in the mid 90s, while the American pass rate is something like 65%.
