Engineering Rural Outreach Program
The Rural Outreach Program was launched in 2019, operating out of the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science at Memorial University. The program aims to support rural communities around the province at no cost, many of which are managed by volunteer teams, town councillors, Local Service District Committees, or community-based non-profit social enterprises. By connecting engineering students with rural communities, the Rural Outreach Project looks to create collaborative partnerships, supporting community ideas with practical solutions. These initiatives not only target community needs, but also assist in preserving the province’s cultural heritage.
Rural communities interested in participating in the Rural Outreach program can contact Brian at bpeach@mun.ca.

Industrial Outreach
The Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science at Memorial University has recognized the need to work closely with industrial partners in order to maximize the relevance of its programs and to provide skilled personnel and technical support not normally available to businesses in Newfoundland.
The Industrial Outreach Group (IOG), which originated in the latter part of 1998, is the point of contact for outside businesses and organizations, large and small, to access the unique skills and facilities of the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. The IOG exists to strengthen the connection between industry and the academic community so that both may benefit from the exchange.
