Speaking of Engineering Public Lectures
Thank you for your interest in the Speaking of Engineering Lecture Series.
The public lecture series promotes engineering and raises awareness of engineering-related issues among students, the academic community and the general public, which we feel is very important.
The series is an initiative of Memorial’s Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, and is co-sponsored by the Professional Engineers and Geoscientists Newfoundland and Labrador (PEGNL). PEGNL is an invaluable asset to our program and our graduates and we are honoured to partner with them on this lecture series.
-----
In-person Speaking of Engineering public lectures take place at 7 p.m. Newfoundland time in the S.J. Carew (Engineering) Building, EN2006, with free parking in lot 60 (second floor of Alexander Murray (earth sciences) Building parking garage). Admission is free. All are welcome.
