ENGINEERING & GEOSCIENCE WEEK

Discover your place in engineering

March is National Engineering and Geoscience Month, Canada’s largest celebration of engineering excellence. Throughout March, volunteers from the provincial and territorial regulators host over 500 events that show Canadians what an exciting and fun career choice engineering can truly be. It’s an opportunity for youth to learn about the many disciplines of engineering, and allow them to see where their skills and interests can fit in.

THERE’S A PLACE FOR YOU

Engineering is a place for you. A place where you can find your niche. It doesn’t matter where you’re from or who you are – all you need is enthusiasm and passion. The rest we can teach you. With engineering’s many disciplines and uses, you can find something that speaks to you. Whether you’d like to stay close to home or explore far and wide, you have choices along your engineering path. From our National Engineering and Geoscience Month events, to your education and into your career, engineering pathways can be found from coast to coast to coast and across the world.

There are no heights you can’t reach once you discover what engineering has to offer! Think about what you like to do and what kind of impact you want to make – engineering is the foundation of a fulfilling career if you like being creative, working with great people, travelling, solving problems and being rewarded for your work.

Becoming an engineer is not only an investment in yourself, but also an investment in the world in which you live. Do you feel passionate about making a difference? Many engineers do – being an engineer gives you the skills you need to solve the issues that you’re passionate about.

As an engineer, you can shape the future by applying your skills to almost everything you can think of, from medicine to renewable energy, food technologies to sustainable mining, from being prepared for natural disasters to running a Fortune 500 company.
