APEGA can go pound sand. Software Engineering is definitely a form of engineering, and most of the best and brightest don't have engineering degrees, rather Computer Science, Math, Physics, and many others.
I'd argue most APEGA members are subject to almost zero scrutiny in their professions, and the amount that are stamping anything meaningful are a small minority.

I agree that in a world of software the Engineering regulators need to expand what constitutes a suitable degree and experience to be an engineer. The US PE exam might be a reasonable way to prove competency rather than just a degree based process.
I agree with your last statement that those doing meaningful stamping are a minority. This would suggest tighter regulation to limit title to people performing engineering and expansion of the types of engineering under scrutiny.
The other issue is that people same to blame APEGA for this when really it’s the provincial government that determines this through the EG act. APEGA performs its duties as required by the act.
