High School Specific

Our Career Awareness outreach program, which connected K-12 educators with engineers and geoscientists to promote the professions, has been discontinued as of December 31, 2024, as it no longer fits within Engineers and Geoscientists BC's mandate as a regulator. For more information about this and other recent changes made to align our operations with the Professional Governance Act, please visit the Advocacy Body webpage. 

Still listed here are some freely available educational resources to promote interest in the professions of engineering and geoscience. 

Engineers and Geoscientists BC has several resources available for educators to help encourage high school students to explore careers in math and science. We want to show students how exciting, inspiring, and beneficial these careers are to global and local communities.

Please see below for more information on what resources are available for educators..
