National Engineering and Geoscience Month
This month-long celebration promotes public awareness of the work of APEGBC members, and in particular seeks to introduce children and youth to engineering and geoscience through engaging activities and displays that pique their interest and capture their imagination. Always popular, a number of popsicle stick and spaghetti bridge building contests are held in APEGBC Branches around the province. In these contests, bridges are constructed of either popsicle sticks or spaghetti, and then load tested to breaking point.
South Central Branch Establishes Scholarship (As seen in Innovation Magazine - May/Jun 2007 issue) APEGBC’s South Central Branch and the APEGBC Foundation are pleased to announce the establishment of the APEGBC South Central Branch Engineering Transfer Scholarship. The new scholarship valued at $1000 annually will be offered to first year engineering students at Thompson Rivers University this fall. Deven Matkowski PEng, Treasurer and Past Chair, South Central Branch noted, “The scholarship initiative was seen as an opportunity to progress on three main goals of the South Central Branch: promote the engineering and geoscience professions at a community level; support the local engineering program at Thompson Rivers University; and attract and retain good young people into the profession. The early interest it has generated is a good indicator that the scholarship initiative is already a success.” Thanks to the generosity of benefactors in the South Central community, the branch has raised $5000 for the establishment of the scholarship. The goal of the South Central Branch is to institute a self-sustaining scholarship fund with a starting target balance of $20,000. To help support the South Central Branch’s scholarship initiative, tax-deductible donations can be made to the APEGBC Foundation marked “South Central Branch Scholarship Fund.” The Foundation is a registered charity, and donations to the Foundation are tax-deductible under Canada Revenue Agency regulations. Donations are welcome and can be forwarded to the APEGBC Foundation c/o 200-4010 Regent Street, Burnaby, BC V5C 6N2.
