The Networking Subcouncil seeks to connect engineering young alumni with each other to build meaningful relationships, help develop a deep network of young professionals, and grow the engineering community.
ENGGYAC’s first Networking Subcouncil event was Beers and Engineers on October 25, 2019 held at Campio Brewing Co. in Edmonton, Alberta. ENGGYAC welcomed over 150 attendees to hear from founder and Engineering at Alberta alumnus, Brett Ireland (B.Sc. Mech. Eng., ‘04), and taste the incredible beer and food from Campio.
ENGGTALK is a speaker series that is designed to showcase intriguing ideas, spark inspiration, and build a community focused on connection and innovation. We hope that through diverse and interesting events, we can provide opportunities for young engineering alumni to learn, engage and connect with each other in a supportive and encouraging atmosphere.
