Applied Technology Celebrates National Engineering Month The School of Applied Technology hosted its Annual Engineering Technology and Manufacturing Career Event on March 25th. This event is held each March in recognition of National Engineering Month, and is designed to connect students with employers with hiring needs, as well as help raise student awareness of technical career options available to them.

The event had a strong employer and student turnout.

Employers were grateful for the setup help from the Student Volunteers, and they were very impressed with the level of preparation, attitude and enthusiasm of Diploma students in particular, who plan to participate in a work placement this summer.
