This March, the engineering profession is opening its doors to show how engineers open doors! 

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 (NEM) 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 2026, 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, STEM based NGOs, participating engineering companies and industry organizations.

This year, we are excited to kick off NEM with a webinar on Sharing Your Story to Inspire Kids to Explore Engineering on Tuesday, March 3. In this session, you’ll learn how to share your own engineering journey in ways that connect with kids and spark their curiosity about the “E” in STEM. The webinar will also introduce Engineers Canada’s Forward Engineering Collective – a new initiative focussed on ensuring young people have opportunities to explore engineering in ways that are inclusive, inspiring, and relevant.

Register for the kick-off event.
