The Northeastern
University Mechanical Contractors Association of America (NUMCAA) is a
student group with a goal to enlighten studying engineers of the
potential in this industry. Whether you’re intrigued by architecture,
consulting, design engineering, project management, or equipment sales
it can all be found here in mechanical contracting.
The current energy
crisis has created a new industry that is here to stay. That industry
focuses on alterative, efficient, and sustainable forms of energy, or,
in other words “green energy.” In order for these needs to be met the
mechanical contracting industry must be flooded with intelligent and
innovative thinkers.
NUMCAA specializes in
the area of energy efficiency in HVAC applications. Defined interests
in the LEED rating system have also developed. Students involved in the
group face great exposure to the current news, methods, and career
opportunities in the mechanical contracting industry.
Founded in September
of 2004 and sponsored by the New England Mechanical Contracting
Association (NEMCA), this student chapter has yet to slow down. Each
year we gain more experience and create more opportunity for fellow
student engineers. Now 18 members strong and growing, this student
chapter is striving towards new accomplishments that include mechanical
system tours, contractor social events, new fundraisers, and continued
success in the MCAA Student Competition. |
