NEM 2010 is just around the corner!!

National Engineering Month (NEM) is a cross-country, month-long celebration of engineering where volunteers in each province and territory stage events and activities designed to increase public awareness of engineers and engineering technology. Even more important, it is designed to encourage young people to consider careers in engineering. During the event, each region across Canada chooses a week in which to hold its celebrations.

For 2010 in Ontario, NEM will take place from February 27 to March 7. Under the “Design the Future” theme, we are expanding our programs even more to broaden the scope and appeal of engineering to the public and to inspire young minds to seek creative engineering and technical solutions to solve our most pressing issues, as well to enrich our everyday lives.

Volunteers interested in organizing or taking part in a NEM activity in 2010 can keep an eye on the Volunteer section for forthcoming application forms. Volunteers are needed for the informative Engineers Without Border workshops, the fun and challenging K’NEX workshops, and to lend a hand as new activities are added.

Sponsors looking to benefit from the brand exposure that NEM provides are most welcome to help support NEM’s events. To download a ‘Contributor Benefit Package’ please go to Sponsorship section.

Let’s all get involved!

Help us spread the word about the great work that engineers and engineering technicians and technologists do every day to make this world a better place.
