Engineering and People

Engineering and people is a topic not really taught at school. Tom Tasaka, project director at SNC-Lavalin, will help prepare us for the engineering environment that we are soon diving into by sharing his personal experiences and valuable “lessons learned”. Hopefully he will save us some of the trouble of learning the hard way!

Join us for a short one hour talk on Thursday, February 25th at 4:00pm in ART 366.
