Oral History Interviews to Preserve Canadian Engineering Achievements

The oral history interviews will preserve for posterity first-person perspectives of the careers and achievements of eminent Canadian engineers since the 1960s. Interviewees will be individuals who have made significant contribution to Canadian achievements in biological, civil, electrical, geotechnical, mechanical, and dam engineering fields. As much as possible, they will represent a broad diversity of cultures, religions, races, ethnicities, and sexes. Their oral histories will beneficially inform members of the engineering community and has the potential to guide and inspire younger Engineers-in-Training to have more productive and rewarding careers. The information will also assist individuals researching historical aspects of Canadian engineering achievements.
