National Engineering Month is Canada’s largest celebration of engineering. An annual, national campaign in March, National Engineering Month celebrates the heart and soul of engineers—their passion, commitment, and action towards making the world a better place. National Engineering Month is guided by the theme, “There’s a place for you in engineering,” which celebrates the diversity of thought, opportunities, and people that make up the engineering profession and whose passion and commitment drive tangible efforts that improve our world.
“National Engineering Month demonstrates how engineering shapes our daily lives, and the month fosters a strong, diverse, and inclusive engineering culture in Canada,” says Gerard McDonald, Engineers Canada’s Chief Executive Officer.
