The Association is planning
a mentorship program to support engineers and geoscientists throughout the
different stages of their career. To help inform our program development, we
are seeking input from practitioners via this brief
survey.
We are still seeking assessors for the Competency
Based Assessment (CBA) pilot. Assessors are those who determine if applicants
have progressed to a professional level of competency in their field of work.
This volunteer opportunity can be done remotely with no set meetings. While all
members in good standing are encouraged to apply, civil, electrical, computer,
aerospace, and project management/construction management disciplines are most
needed. For more information on this opportunity, please see the
news
story.
Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba has partnered with
Engineers of Tomorrow to pilot their Engineer-in-Residence (EIR) program here
in Manitoba for the 2021-2022 school year. Engineers will be matched with a
classroom in the province to support STEM curriculum with experiential
learning, real-world examples, and hands-on engaging engineering activities on
a monthly basis.
Professional engineers, interns, or engineering students
who enjoy working and sharing their experiences with youth are encouraged to
apply. As there are many French immersion and Francophone schools in the
province, volunteers who are fluent in French are also encouraged to
apply. For more information about this opportunity, please see the
call
for volunteers or the
news
story.
