What does OSPE have in store for NEM 2017?

NEM

National Engineering Month (NEM) is Canada’s largest celebration of engineering, with over 500 interactive events and activities taking place across the country. Each event will centre on this year’s theme: Engineering is a place for you.

OSPE is proud to collaborate as a founding partner of NEM Ontario, and our lineup of fun and educational social events and activities invite anyone and everyone to discover the versatility of the engineering profession. NEM is the opportune time to explore engineering career possibilities that speak to you!

“All you need is your enthusiasm and passion. The rest we can teach you.”NEM Ontario

NEM celebrates the achievements of the engineering profession and inspires young Canadians to become the next generation of problem solvers. While much of NEM’s programming is geared toward exciting youth about their education in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), NEM also aims to strengthen bonds within the profession, as well as the bonds between the profession and society at large. All in all, there is something for everyone!
