National Engineering & Geoscience Week
about NEGW
National Engineering & Geoscience Week (NEGW) is an annual opportunity to highlight not just engineering and geoscience, but science, math and technology.
Initiated by Engineers Canada as a means
of raising awareness of the important role engineering plays in the lives of
Canadians, NEGW celebrates engineering and geoscience achievements and highlights
the various academic and career opportunities available to Canadians.
Along with other Canadian provincial and territorial associations, APEGGA hosts
events and activities for elementary, junior and senior high school students
to discover the exciting worlds of science and math. Through a mix of hands-on
activities for students and newspaper supplements in Alberta's two largest daily
papers, APEGGA seeks to raise the profile of its Professional Members and highlight
their accomplishments.
National Engineering & Geoscience Week is filled with opportunities to share
math and science among our nation's youth and general public.
Professionals across the country can:

Each year, Professionals, students, teachers, government and business leaders
