A Professional Technologist (P. Tech) is a class of certification of Engineering Technologist and Professional Technologist in Canada and Malaysia respectively.
The title of P. Tech is protected across Canada by copyright law, and specifically in certain jurisdictions by provincial law. The P. Tech designation came into place to align Technologists with P. Eng's (Professional Engineers). Technologists can perform the functions of a Technician, Scientist, or some limited functions of a Professional Engineer.
The title is not used consistently across Canada. In some cases, the P. Tech designation is equivalent to a Certified Engineering Technologist designation. However; in other cases, provincial legislation makes Professional Technologists into licensees under the local professional engineering organization, capable of practicing some professional engineering within a limited scope.
