Engineering students may know what they want to study, but not always where that path could lead.

Sometimes, all it takes is a single conversation to uncover a new opportunity.

Designed to foster those connections, NEX-GEN 2026 will bring together students, alumni, industry professionals and community members for a two-day conference beginning Friday, May 22, hosted by the University of Windsor chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE).
