The Canadian Federation of Engineering Students supports growth and communication within its members to ensure their moral, intellectual, cultural, academic, social, and economic well-being. The Federation represents and promotes Canadian undergraduate engineering students on a national and international level. The CFES will not align itself with any political partisan movement. 

The goal of the CFES is to solicit, represent, organize and exchange views, information, and activities pertinent to the goals of the members at a national level to improve the quality and scope of Canadian engineering education and experience. The means by which this will be done are:   

1. Offering bilingual opportunities which foster the development of the following facets of an engineering education: 
   1. • Leadership 
      • Professional and Ethical Qualities 
      • Engineering Identity 
      • Technical Proficiency 
      • Communication 
2. Providing representation on issues relevant to engineering students in Canada and affiliate itself with any organization pursuing the same goals. 
3. Promoting the free exchange of ideas and experiences to support the constant evolution of student environments across Canada.
