In the Mechanical Engineering Technology program at NBCC, Mark pursued academic knowledge with curiosity and excitement and humour. He has that wonderful trait of a lifelong learner: he pursues--and thoroughly enjoys--opportunities to investigate assumptions, analyze complex ideas, and apply new skills.
