Marcia Friesen, P.Eng., Ph.D., FEC is the Director of the Internationally-Educated Engineers Qualification Program (IEEQ), an Associate Professor (Centre for Engineering Professional Practice & Engineering Education), and an Adjunct Professor (Electrical & Computer Engineering) at the University of Manitoba. She has developed expertise in qualifications recognition models and issues that affect internationally-educated professionals. As director of the IEEQ Program, she is responsible to lead the team that develops and delivers this qualification recognition pathway for internationally-educated engineers. In this role, she collaborates extensively with Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba and the Office of the Manitoba Fairness Commissioner.
