National Engineering and Geoscience Month 2012  

National Engineering and Geoscience Month (NEGM) is an annual celebration of engineering and geoscience across Canada.  This month-long event promotes awareness of the engineering and geoscience professions, highlights career choices in these fields and reminds the public of the many ways in which engineering and geoscience touch everyday life. This year's National Engineering and Geoscience Month will be held March 2012.

NEGM features information on careers in engineering and geoscience to encourage young Canadians to consider these fields as a career of choice.  Showcasing engineering and geoscience at work, NEGM events include spaghetti or popsicle stick bridge building contests, rock and fossil explorations, and interactive displays. NEGM events occur throughout BC and are hosted locally by APEGBC's Branches, volunteer members in regions around the province.
