National Engineering and Geoscience Week 2003:
Engineering and Geoscience - Visions of Things to Come

The Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists and Geophysicists of Alberta (APEGGA) is celebrating National Engineering and Geoscience Week (NEW), March 1-9, 2003.

Engineering and Geoscience - Visions of Things to Come is the theme for the 11th Annual NEW. This theme reflects the hopes, aspirations, talents and abilities of our professionals.

Events during this week raise awareness of the important role engineering and geoscience play in the lives of Canadians. NEW celebrates professional achievements and highlights the various academic and career opportunities available to Canadians.

The Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists and Geophysicists of Alberta (APEGGA), along with other Canadian provincial and territorial associations, will host over 500 events and activities in 2003 to help elementary, junior and senior high school students discover the exciting worlds of science and math.

National Engineering and Geoscience Week is filled with opportunities to share engineering, geoscience, math and science among our nation's youth and general public. Activities across the country include visiting classrooms, organizing tours of interesting local engineering/geoscience projects, hosting an "professional for the day", developing engineering/geoscience contests, etc.

APEGGA regulates the practice of engineering, geology and geophysics in Alberta. The Association's authority is derived from provincial statute. Now with more than 37,000 members, APEGGA has served the public and its members since 1920.
