The Canton Joint Engineering Council which is made up of
delegates from 5 engineering societies in the Stark
County area, was formed by the Canton Regional Society of
Professional Engineers in 1970. Its primary function is to
coordinate and manage the National Engineers Week banquet
held in late February of each year. In addition to the
banquet, which is highlighted by a top quality speaker, CJEC Engineers week activities also include a water
balloon drop contest (an engineering design event for high
school students), a MATHCOUNTS contest for 6th through 8th
grade students, and the Engineer for a Day program in
which engineering minded high school students visit area
companies to view applied engineering.
Other functions of CJEC throughout the year include the
awarding of scholarships to deserving college engineering
students and publishing a technical society program
directory so that each engineering group is made aware of
other technical programs in the area.
