Engineers Canada, in collaboration with the provincial and territorial engineering regulators, has developed a series of online activities for children and youth of different age groups that aim to
spark their interest in engineering. For more information about National Engineering and Geoscience Month (NEGM), visit the
Explore Engineering website. Be sure to also visit the Association's
event listings to learn more about our Centennial Colouring Contest, how to earn a Girl Power T-shirt, and other NEGM events offered in March.

The Future City Experience challenges students in grades 6, 7, and 8 across Canada to use the engineering design process to research, design, and build a model of a city 100 years into the future. Students in this
year's challenge are to design a lunar city and provide examples of how the city uses two moon resources to keep its residents safe and healthy. Volunteers are
needed to serve as a mentor to participants as they work through their build. For full information about this opportunity, see the
call for volunteers.
As part of a project investigating sustainable engineering practices and mindsets, researchers at the University of Prince Edward Island are seeking to interview professional engineers regarding their perceptions and professional activities concerning sustainability.
The goal of this research is twofold. First, to inform public policy and engineering practice regarding current sustainability practices. Second, to develop new methods and processes for supporting sustainable engineering practices via an interdisciplinary approach.
Participation is not limited to engineers whose practise relates directly to sustainability, all professional engineers are welcome. If you are interested in participating,
please see the
call for participants for full details. Further questions about the project should be directed to
principal investigators
Dr. Grant McSorley or
Dr. Amy Hsiao.
