NEM 2011 is just around the corner!
National Engineering Month (NEM) is the biggest national celebration of engineering and technology where volunteers in each province and territory stage events and activities designed to increase public awareness of engineers and engineering technology and to encourage young people to consider careers in these fields.

The 19th annual National Engineering Month will run from Saturday, February 26 to Sunday, March 6, 2011. Building upon the success of last year’s events, volunteer organizers from across the province will stage a wide range of activities ranging from bridge-building, egg-tossing, robotics to electromagnetic fishing and engineering design.

If you are an Engineering Month organizer in your community, you may be qualified to receive partial funding for your event. Information on the Financial Assistance will be posted in September on the official NEM website under the Event Organizer section.

Sponsors looking to benefit from the brand exposure that NEM provides are most welcome to help support NEM events. For more information, please visit our Sponsorship page.
