2000 Edition

The regulations associated with the EGGP act require that a candidate have at least two years of post-secondary education in one or more of geology, physics, or mathematics before attempting any of the examinations in this syllabus. Each examination discussed in this syllabus covers a body of material that might normally be taught in a one-semester course at a Canadian University, but different university programs cover this material in different ways. Students could encounter parts of the material specified for an exam in different courses.

These examinations cover subjects normally taken in the first two years of a university course in physical sciences or engineering. They do not usually have university level pre-requisites.
