Engineers-in-Action Speaker Series & Events
The McGill Engineers-in-Action Speaker Series & Events feature professionals from a broad range of engineering backgrounds. The goal of the speaker series & events are to enhance your professional development and career education through showcasing the variety of career paths followed by successful engineers (often alumni) and to provide relevant information about specific industries and current engineering issues. In the past, the Speaker Series has welcomed vice-presidents, senior engineering professionals, consultants, chief administrative officers and CEOs. We also regularly host networking events where you can meet one on one with alumni and engineering professionals.
