March is National Engineering Month

National Engineering Month, presented by Engineers Canada, is an annual campaign that takes place during the month of March and is designed to spark an interest in the next generation of engineering professionals and to celebrate the role that engineers play in society. It is Canada’s largest celebration of engineering excellence.

During the month, thousands of parents, teachers, students, and aspiring engineers interact with engineers and others who volunteer their time to host events and participate in social media campaigns to share their stories about how rewarding a career in engineering can truly be. The engineering profession also strives to reach out to youth, to give them the opportunity to learn about the many disciplines of engineering, and allow them to see where their skills and interests can fit in. With so many different types of engineering, it’s important for youth to understand the various things they can do as an engineer so that they can pick the discipline that truly motivates and excites them the most.
