We are happy to report some of EWB chapters work and accomplishments in recognition of last month. The McMaster University Chapter held their successful Global Engineering Conference 2024, with over 70 students, which was an event full of innovation and design dedicated to advancing Sustainable Development Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities. The conference took place on March 17th, and it brought together 40 McMaster students, 15 Toronto Metropolitan University students, 15 University of Guelph students, and 5 graduate students from The School of Engineering Practice and Technology Society. Both a networking and design competition event, it allowed students to come together and leverage technological innovation to address challenges. Throughout the day, guest speakers conducted short workshops on effective communication skills and sustainable engineering. Students also collaborated in groups, working with like-minded peers, which were guided by expert mentors and judges, to critically evaluate various sustainability solutions. Then, the groups created new seismic-resilient structures that underwent a shake-test, which was guided by graduate student mentors from the School of Engineering Practice and Technology Society (SEPT) Society and hosted by McMaster\u2019s Seismic Design Team. Students also had the opportunity to engage with industry experts from sectors of civil engineering, who were passionate about creating safe and sustainable urban communities, by incorporating scientific knowledge and engineering principles. The event concluded with a Q&amp;A component, where these industry experts and professionals answered burning questions from the participants and students. Participants were able to listen in on their perspectives and were motivated by their answers to also create change by mobilizing their skills. A big congratulations to the McMaster EWB Chapter for [&hellip;]","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/www.ewb.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/article-3-3-240x300.png"}
