I
congratulate the UoM Students' Union and the UoM Students' Engineering Society
and Science Society, as well as the Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of
Science, for organising this Engineering and Science Career Oriented Fair 2012
for the third time. I would like to invite these two Faculties and the students
to go a step further by getting involved with and support initiatives that
allow primary aged students to participate in science and technology. These
activities should be designed to be fun and motivational, showcasing science
and technology as part of everyday life and relevant to everyone. I would like
to thank the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Science and the students
for their contribution in arousing greater interest for science and engineering
among young people, through this career fair.
