National Engineering Month | Faculty of Engineering and Design

Stories & Announcements | Leaders | Resources

March is National Engineering Month (NEM) – Canada’s largest celebration of engineering at all levels. Each year, NEM highlights engineers, their work and the important role they play in society. NEM aims to bring awareness to the diverse array of challenges, strengths and opportunities within the profession, and helps to inspire an interest in STEM among youth.

The Faculty of Engineering and Design is proud to showcase Carleton University’s thriving engineering community by celebrating the stories, research contributions and impacts made by our students and professors.

Carleton’s engineering and design programs blend the academic with hands-on learning opportunities, inside and outside the classroom, helping students develop the skills to solve real-world challenges before they graduate. As a research-intensive institution, our experts in engineering and design are on the forefront of developing innovative solutions to the world’s most challenging issues.
