Students have an exciting online resource with a fresh new look for learning about the interesting and amazing things engineers do. Engineers Canada is proud to announce the launch of the newly redesigned National Engineering Month website: http://www.nem-mng.ca/

The National Engineering Month website establishes itself as the premiere hub for learning about the different types of engineering and how engineers use creativity and problem-solving skills in all the work they do.

Along with a 2011 event listing for each province and territory, the redesigned website features engineer profiles, examples of great Canadian engineering achievements, and games and puzzles.

Organized by the profession’s 12 provincial and territorial regulatory bodies, teachers, faculties, volunteers and university students, National Engineering Month is an annual celebration of Canadian engineering excellence that promotes engineering as a career choice to youth. Throughout the month of March, events such as design competitions, robotics demonstrations and science and engineering fairs will teach young Canadians how to use math, science, technology and creativity to generate things that were once thought impossible.

The theme of this year’s National Engineering Month is Design the Future.
