The Ontario Association for Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT) is the professional association responsible for certifying engineering and applied science technicians and technologists who are graduates of the province’s postsecondary educational institutions. Each year, the association honours outstanding educators, writers, technical professionals and volunteers.
At the recent OACETT awards dinner in Toronto, Mitch Wawzonek of Conestoga College received an Award of Merit. A faculty member at Conestoga for the past 16 years, he received the honour for sustained and exceptional service over time, in a manner that results in the betterment of the aims of the OACETT.

He has also worked extensively in the areas of curriculum development and revision. He has been a valuable resource person to Conestoga’s Mechanical Engineering Program Advisory Committee, which is composed of practising professionals in the field, and participated in four International Skills Competitions as a Skills Canada Canadian expert in engineering drawing (Taiwan, 1993; France, 1995; Switzerland, 1997; Montreal, 1999).
