The Council consists of 10 members, eight of whom are elected by members of the Society for a two year term, and represent four geographical areas in the Province (two from each). Two members of the Council are appointed by the Executive and serve as public members.

At the initiation of each two year term, members elect from the Council an Executive, including a President, two Vice-Presidents (one engineer and one technologist/technician), one Treasurer and one Secretary.

The Council is responsible to conduct the business of the Society and to oversee the operation of the following committees as modeled under the Regulated Health Professions Amendment Act, 1992: Registration, Fitness to Practice, Quality Assurance, Discipline, Patient Relations, Complaints. These committees are comprised by both Council and Society members.
