Engineers open doors to new possibilities and new futures. They drive innovation and progress, taking what’s come before them and making it better. Engineers bring people together and they inspire.
National Engineering Month is an annual celebration of the heart and soul of engineers—their passion, commitment, and action toward making the world a better place. In March 2025, engineers are inviting you in. Discover the difference that engineers make in their communities through a series of doors open events at higher education institutions and participating engineering companies and industry organizations.
2025 is a milestone year for the engineering profession, marking the 100th anniversary of the Calling of an Engineer, where engineering students receive their Iron Rings. A valued symbol for many engineering graduates, the Iron Ring is an ever-present reminder of the commitment engineers make to serving the public with integrity and ethics.

Amaury Camarena, M.Sc., P.Eng., grew up next to the ocean in Mexico’s Baja California state and even worked as a lifeguard, so you might say he’s been contemplating coastlines all his life. He now leads a team of 12 coastal professionals as Manager, Coastal Science and Engineering, at CBCL Limited in Halifax, NS. In this leadership role, he’s opening doors for more coastal engineers to enter the field and improve the resilience of Canada’s shoreline environments.
Ayo Daniel Abiola, P.Eng., CDP, PQS, says his drive to support sustainability in the building industry comes from both the past and the future.
Growing up, Kristen Facciol, P.Eng, wanted to be a pediatrician—until her high school algebra teacher pointed out Facciol’s facility for math and physics and suggested engineering might be a good fit. Information about engineering careers wasn't as easily accessible back then as it is now, so she assumed engineers built bridges or conducted trains. But after talking with her teacher and others, she realized that engineering could open doors to vast and exciting job opportunities.
Throughout March, more than one hundred events were held across Canada, showcasing how engineers are opening doors. Check out the full list of events that took place during National Engineering Month 2025.
