The "E" word needs rebranding! With global challenges looming on the horizon in renewable energy, an aging population pyramid, and increasing demands on the earth's resources, the stakes are higher than ever to churn out quality engineering graduates. While this may be the case, more than half of Canadian Grade 9 & 10 students have an outdated perception of engineering careers; which in many cases prevents them from pursuing a career in engineering. The numbers just don't add up: the "E" Word provides a lens on how you, and how anyone, can take action.
